In May 1994, the Defense Department began restructuring the program after a series of flight test failures and unresolved technical problems. On December 9, 1994, the Secretary of Defense announced plans to cancel the program because of significant development difficulties and growth in the expected unit cost for each missile. This report provides pertinent information on the history and status of the TSSAM program at the time of the Secretary's announcement for use by Congress as it reviews the termination decision. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-46/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-46.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-46/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-46.pdf GAO/NSIAD-95-46 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-95-46 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-95-46; Missile Development: Status and Issues at the Time of the TSSAM Termination Decision; Testing Contract termination Product performance evaluation Military cost control Ballistic missiles Advanced weapons systems Cost overruns Defense procurement Research and development contracts Weapons research Tri-Service Standoff Attack Missile Multiple Launch Rocket System B-52 Aircraft B-2 Aircraft F-16 Aircraft F-18 Aircraft B-1B Aircraft F-22 Aircraft B-1 Aircraft F-111 Aircraft Standoff Land Attack Missile AGM-130 Bomb Joint Standoff Weapon HAVE NAP Missile Air-Launched Cruise Missile MLRS ALCM
