Congress Washington, DC 20515 February 11, 2009 Honorable Neil Abercrombie Chairman Subcommittee on Air and Land Forces Committee on Armed Services United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman: At your request, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has analyzed the Army's plans for equipping its forces with networks for exchanging information using wireless communications systems. The enclosed report describes the content of the Army's wireless communications programs and how that content has changed during the past several years. It also examines the past and projected costs of the Army's wireless pro- grams and the extent to which the Army's plans for one of the most expensive of those programs-the Joint Tactical Radio System-are consistent with the service's plans for equipping its future forces. If you would like further details, we would be pleased to provide them. CBO's point of contact for this assessment is J. Michael Gilmore, who can be reached at (202) 226-2900. Sincerely, Douglas W. Elmendorf Director wwwvy cbo 0g 0V
