Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Navy's plans for testing the Airborne Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ) on the F-14D aircraft, focusing on the: (1) Navy's modification of its F-14D test plan for testing ASPJ and its effectiveness; and (2) impact of the Office of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) on the final F-14D test. GAO noted that: (1) DOT&E made several revisions to the Navy's test plans, involving F-14D survivability with and without ASPJ, ASPJ effectiveness against air-to-air threats, and ASPJ suitability; and (2) although the revised test plan differs from operational testing to support production decisions, the test plan is adequate for supporting a decision to deploy ASPJ units in storage.
