Description

The Future Combat System (FCS) program -- which comprises 14 integrated weapon systems and an advanced info. network -- is the centerpiece of the Army’s effort to transition to a lighter, more agile, and more capable combat force. The technical challenges, the Army’s acquisition strategy, and the cost of the program are among the reasons why the program needs special oversight and review. This testimony is based on reports on FCS and addresses: (1) how the definition, dev’t., and demo. of FCS capabilities are proceeding, esp. in light of the go/no-go decision scheduled for 2009; (2) the Army’s plans for making production commitments for FCS and any risks related to the completion of dev’t.; and (3) the est. costs for developing and producing FCS.
