The Department of Defense (DOD) plans to increase its investment in new weapons to about $60 billion in fiscal year 2001-a 40-percent increase over fiscal year 1997. DOD has high expectations from this investment: that new weapons will be better and less expensive than their predecessors and will be developed in half the time. With its traditional management approach-which has produced superior weapons, but at much greater cost and time than planned-DOD will not meet these expectations. Leading commercial firms have changed their practices for developing products and have achieved the kinds of results DOD seeks. Maturing new technology before it is included in products is one of the main determinants of these firms' successes. This practice holds promise for DOD, for immature technologies have been a main source of problems on weapon systems. In response to a request from the Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member, Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support, Senate Committee on Armed Services, GAO assessed (1) the impact of technology maturity on product outcomes, (2) best practices for managing new technologies and incorporating them into products, and (3) ways DOD can adapt these practices to get better outcomes on weapon system programs.

The Dept. of Defense (DoD) plans to increase its investment in new weapons to about $60 billion in fiscal year 2001 -- a 40% increase over fiscal year 1997. This report assesses how best practices offer improvements to the way the DoD incorporates new technology into weapon system programs. It also assesses the factors that can make it difficult to mature technologies before they are included on weapon system programs & what can be done about them. It makes recommendations to the Secretary of Defense on how advanced technologies can be better managed so they pose less risk when they are included in weapon system designs. Charts & tables.

Although the Department of Defense's (DOD) annual weapon system investment has been increased from about $90 billion 3 years ago to almost $100 billion for fiscal year 2001, DOD's buying power will be weakened if weapons continue to cost significantly more and take much longer to develop than planned. DOD would like to get the most out of this investment and has set goals to develop new weapons in half the traditional time and within budget. It has a long way to go; long-standing problems that work against delivering new weapons within estimates have proven resistant to reform. When one program encounters such problems and needs more money than planned, it comes at the expense of delaying or canceling other program. This means less overall modernization and a lower, unpredictable return on investment. The ability to execute a program more predictably within cost and schedule estimates would lessen the need to offset cost increases by disrupting other programs.
