The Navy is beset with long-standing problems that affect its ability to accomplish ambitious goals for its shipbuilding portfolio. Significant cost growth and long schedule delays are persistent problems. Making headway on these problems is essential in light of the serious budget pressures facing the nation. This testimony focuses on the following: (1) cost growth in shipbuilding; (2) acquisition approaches in the LPD 17, Littoral Combat Ship, DDG 1000, and CVN 78 programs; and (3) steps the Navy can take to improve its acquisition decision making, particularly the adoption of a knowledge-based framework. While GAO is making no new recommendations in this testimony, GAO has made numerous recommendations through the years to improve business cases for Navy acquisitions as well as other Department of Defense weapon acquisitions. The Department's acquisition policies largely incorporate these recommendations, but they have not been implemented on actual programs.

A naval expert charts the rise and fall of America’s maritime supremacy—and what it means for the future of U.S. security and prosperity. As with other powerful nations throughout history, maritime supremacy has been the key to America’s superpower status and the relative peace of the postwar era. But in the twenty-first century, the United States Navy’s combat fleet has dwindled to historic lows—the smallest since before World War I. At the same time, rival nations such as China have increased the size of their navies at an extraordinary rate. As Seth Cropsey convincingly argues, the precipitous decline of the U.S. as a great seapower will have profound consequences sooner than we might think. In clear and concise language, Mayday tracks the modern evolution of U.S. maritime strength, where it stands now, and the likely consequences if changes are not made to both the Navy’s size and shape and to the United States’ strategic understanding of how to combine maritime and continental force.

The U.S. Navy is about to begin construction of the first Zumwalt-Class destroyer (DDG 1000) amid considerable uncertainties and a high likelihood of cost and schedule growth. Significant cost growth and schedule delays are persistent problems that continue to compromise the Navy¿s shipbuilding goals. This testimony focuses on: (1) the challenges faced by the DDG 1000 program; and (2) the strain such challenges portend for long term shipbuilding plans. Charts and tables.

In Oct. 2008, the U.S. Navy will begin construction of the first of two lead DDG 1000 Zumwalt-Class destroyers -- at an expected cost of $6.3 billion. Given the history of cost growth on shipbuilding programs, as well as the Navy¿s request for approval of a third ship, the author was asked to assess the progress of the program. He examined: (1) whether key systems can be delivered on time and work as intended; (2) design maturity; (3) shipyard readiness; and (4) whether lead and follow-on DDG 1000 ships can be built within budget. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

The DoD expects the cost to develop and procure the major weapon systems in its portfolio to total $1.6 trill. With increased competition for funding within DoD and across the fed. gov¿t., effectively managing these acquisitions is critical. Yet DoD programs often experience poor outcomes -- like increased costs and delayed fielding of needed capabilities. In 2006, a report was issued on DoD¿s processes for identifying needs and allocating resources for its weapon system programs. In 2007, it was reported that DoD consistently commits to more programs than it can support. This report assesses DoD¿s funding approach, identifies factors that influence the effectiveness of this approach, and identifies practices that could help improve DoD¿s approach.

The Navy¿s FY 2011-2015 shipbuilding plan calls for procuring an 11th and final San Antonio (LPD-17) class amphibious ship in FY 2012. The Navy estimates the procurement cost of this ship at $2 billion. The ship received $184 million in FY 2010 advance procurement funding, and the Navy plans to request the remaining $1.9 billion of the cost in the FY 2012 budget. Accordingly, the Navy¿s proposed FY 2011 budget does not request any procurement funding for the LPD-17 program. Contents of this report: (1) Intro.; (2) Amphibious Ships in General; LPD-17 Program; (3) Issues for Congress. Appendix A. Amphibious Lift Goal; Appendix B. LPD-17 Cost Growth and Construction Problems. Illus. This is a print on demand report.

The United States government invests billions each year on equipping armed forces with the most advanced military equipment. The root of the American defense acquisition system is driven by a combination of national interests and domestic political requirements. While fundamentally the defense acquisition system has produced results for the United States military, improvements are needed in order to continue to move forward in advancing military tactics and technology. Exploring both the systemic and political levels of the system, Sorenson argues that the United States will fall behind if the current defense acquisition system is not reformed. This book brings together elements of this complicated system, such as national security requirements, and the changes that are needed in both the structural and political pillars. A combination of political interests and the needs of the military, serviced by an ever-shrinking defense industry, make a genuine acquisition reform even more difficult, resulting in reform that is more symbolic than genuine.
