Defense Acquisitions: Analysis of Processes Used to Evaluate Active Protection Systems
Active Protection Systems (APS) protect vehicles from attack by
detecting and intercepting missiles or munitions. In 2005, the
lead systems integrator for the Army's Future Combat Systems
(FCS) program sought proposals for an APS developer and design
and to deliver APS prototypes on vehicles by fiscal year 2009.
Raytheon was chosen the APS developer. At the same time, the
Department of Defense's Office of Force Transformation (OFT)
evaluated near-term APS for potential use in Iraq. GAO was asked
to review the Army's actions on APS/FCS: (1) the process for
selecting the subcontractor to develop an APS for FCS and if
potential conflicts of interest were avoided; (2) the timing of
the trade study and if it followed a consistent methodology to
evaluate alternatives, and the results; (3) the role the Army and
Boeing played in selecting the developer; and (4) the process
followed to provide a near-term APS solution for current forces.
