GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Secretary Of Defense Increased Joint Avionics Standardization Could Result In Major Economies And Operational Benefits The Congress, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the military services recognize that standard avionics equipment for military aircraft is needed. Standard avionics is viewed as de- sirable, feasible, and economical when com- pared to the traditional military practice of procuring aircraft-unique avionics. In December 1980, the Joint Services Review Committee for Avionics Components and Sub- systems was established to promote the de- velopment of standard avionics equipment. Based on the Committee estimates, potential cost avoidance of $770 million could be realized by developing and procuring five of its subsystem standardization candidates. However, the Com- mittee has not received adequate funding sup- port for its candidates. This report discusses the potential benefits of avionics standardization and the impediments encountered bythe Committee and recommends actions necessary to achieve desired objectives. 124636 0) M 1Z IL ob GAO/NSIAD-84-127 JULY 10, 1984
