- NASA: Key Management and Program Challenges, GAO-10-387T, February 03, 2010: “The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is in the midst of many changes and one of the most challenging periods in its history. The space shuttle is slated to retire this year, the International Space Station nears completion but remains underutilized, and a new means of human space flight is under development. Most recently, the administration has proposed a new direction for NASA.”
- Littoral Combat Ship: Actions Needed to Improve Operating Cost Estimates and Mitigate Risks in Implementing New Concepts, GAO-10-257, February 02, 2010: “The Navy plans to spend about $28 billion to buy 55 Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) and at least 64 interchangeable mission packages to perform one of three missions–mine countermeasures, antisubmarine warfare, and surface warfare–in waters close to shore. The Navy has been developing two different LCS seaframes and plans to select one for production in 2010. Due to the small 78-person crew size–40 core crew, 23 for aviation detachment, and typically 15 for mission packages–the Navy is developing new concepts for personnel, training, and maintenance.”
