Description

The Dept. of Defense (DOD) plans to spend about $19 billion to acquire launch services from FY 2013 to FY 2017, and total program costs through 2030 are expected to approach $35 billion. The Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program launches satellites for military, intelligence, civil, and commercial customers. In 2011, the Air Force created a Program Executive Officer for Space Launch position, responsible for completing a new EELV acquisition strategy. GAO reported that the new strategy needed to be based on sufficient information, and made seven recommendations to further this goal. DOD finalized a new EELV acquisition strategy in Nov. 2011. The 2012 Nat. Defense Authorization Act required DOD to describe how it had implemented each GAO recommendation, and GAO to assess that information. This report provides that assessment. Tables. This is a print on demand report.
