U.S. Air Force Ranks Last In Pentagon Testing Scorecard

Aviation Week.com, 01/17/2012

In the latest annual report from the Pentagon’s Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), the U.S. Air Force ranks last among the services in testing performance, with a mere 27% of programs reviewed meeting their reliability thresholds.

 

DOT&E chief J. Michael Gilmore writes that of the 311 Major Defense Acquisition Programs that his office scrutinized in fiscal 2011, 67 experienced either significant delays and/or Nunn-McCurdy breaches, with thirty-six actually breaching Nunn-McCurdy cost-growth caps.

 

When broken down by service branch, the numbers look like this: 55% (6/11) of the Army programs the office reviewed were able to meet their reliability thresholds, with aviation (CH-47 and UH-72), trucks and artillery performing well, “while networks and unmanned systems did not do well.”

 

Sixty-three percent (17/27) of the Navy systems studied met their reliability thresholds, with the majority of the reliable systems being “aircraft or aircraft-related systems developed in [Naval Air Systems Command], such as the H-1 upgrades to the AH-1W and UH-1N helicopters, as well as the MH-60R and MH-60S helicopters,” Gilmore notes. “Other reliable systems were submarines and related systems such as the USS Virginia, USS Ohio, and the TB-34 towed array.”

 

The Air Force didn’t fare quite so well, with only three of eleven reviewed programs meeting their reliability thresholds. “The three systems that performed reliably were the B-2 Radar Modernization Program, Space Based Surveillance System, and the C-5 Reliability Improvement and Re-Engining Program,” Gilmore writes, while “other programs such as Small Diameter Bomb, Global Broadcast Service, Joint Mission Planning System, MQ-9 Reaper, Miniature Air-Launched Decoy, C-27J Joint Cargo Aircraft, and Global Hawk demonstrated poor reliability.”

 

While the report concludes that testing and test requirements normally do not cause major program delays or drive costs, issues such as quality control, software development, scheduling and poor performance during testing are factors that have caused program delays.
