Central to this transformation is the Future Combat Systems (FCS), a $108 billion effort to provide warfighters with the vehicles, weapons, and communications needed to identify and respond to threats with speed, precision, and lethality. Establishing reliable, robust communications and networking capabilities is key to FCS's success. Each of the systems integral to the FCS communications network--the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T), and the System of Systems Common Operating Environment (SOSCOE)--rely on significant advances in current technologies and must be fully integrated to realize FCS. Given the complexity and costs of this undertaking, GAO was asked to review each of these key development efforts to identify any risks that may jeopardize the successful fielding of FCS. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-669/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-669.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-669/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-669.pdf GAO-05-669 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-669 Other Written Product GAO-05-669; Defense Acquisitions: Resolving Development Risks in the Army's Networked Communications Capabilities Is Key to Fielding Future Force; Defense capabilities Defense procurement Military communication Military procurement Military radio Procurement planning Systems design Systems evaluation Telecommunication Program evaluation Schedule slippages Performance measures Army Future Combat Systems Army Warfighter Information Network C-130 Aircraft DOD Joint Tactical Radio System Hercules Aircraft Army System of Systems Common Operating Environment
