United States Coast Guard: Improvements Needed in Management and Oversight of Rescue System Acquisition
Search and rescue--one of the United States Coast Guard's (USCG)
oldest missions and highest priorities--involves minimizing loss
of life, injury, and property damage by aiding people and boats
in distress. In September 2002, USCG contracted to replace its
search and rescue communications system--installed in the
1970s--with a new system known as Rescue 21. However, the
acquisition and initial implementation of Rescue 21 has resulted
in significant cost overruns and schedule delays. GAO's
objectives in reviewing the Rescue 21 program were to (1) assess
the reasons for the significant cost overruns and implementation
delays; (2) evaluate the viability of the revised cost and
schedule estimates; and (3) evaluate the impact of the
implementation delays.
