consistent and continuing trend by the program to fund new 
initiatives at the expense of proven systems that are currently 
in use and are critical to the national security. In reviewing 
the fiscal year 1997 request, the Committee has determined that 
many of the initiatives begun by DARP have been terminated due 
to developmental problems, were merged with other initiatives 
that have yet to reach fruition or simply renamed and 
continued. Concurrently, identified funding shortfalls to 
upgrade current systems persist, despite their recognized 
importance. In an effort to strike a more harmonious balance 
between fulfilling today's requirements and meeting tomorrow's 
needs, the Committee has determined that programs managed by 
DARP should be returned to the services.
    The Committee expects the services to work together on all 
joint programs to achieve the successes they have enjoyed with 
such programs as V-22, JDAM, and AMRAAM. Accordingly, the 
Committee has realigned the funding of programs that currently 
passes through DARP to service program offices and has 
appropriated the funds directly to those offices. The Committee 
directs that all military personnel and O&M funding associated 
with DARP activities be returned to the appropriate service. 
The following table provides a funding breakout and associated 
transfers:

    U-2.--The Committee provides an additional $5,000,000 to 
repair the U-2 damaged in the February 13, 1996, mishap. 
Further, the Committee provides an additional $32,700,000 for 
Senior Glass and $10,000,000 for the senior year electro-
optical reconnaissance system [SYERS], as recommended by the 
Senate authorizing committee.
    RC-135 reengining.--The Committee provides $145,200,000 to 
procure engine kits for six aircraft. The Committee expects the 
Air Force to provide funding to complete this effort, beginning 
in fiscal year 1998.
    E-8B joint surveillance/target attack radar system 
[JSTARS].--The Committee recommends additional funds to acquire 
three JSTARS aircraft in fiscal year 1997 instead of the two 
platforms included in the budget request. The Committee directs 
the Air Force to investigate the manufacturing feasibility, 
technical risks, annual and total program costs, and cost 
savings, of procurement of three JSTARS aircraft annually 
compared with the current plan to buy two platforms per year in 
the Future Years Defense Program. The Committee further directs 
the Air Force to submit to the congressional defense committees 
a full report on the results of this investigation not later 
than February 15, 1997.

                   committee recommended adjustments

    Space-based IR sensor prog space.--The Air Force budget 
includes $25,939,000 for the initial procurement of relay 
ground station communication electronics and processing 
hardware. The Committee recommends providing no funds for these 
activities in fiscal year 1997.
    The Air Force has informed the Committee that because of 
delays in the development program, it will not begin the 
procurement of this hardware until fiscal year 1998. As 
requested by the Air Force, these funds were transferred to the 
RDT&E, Air Force appropriations account.
    NAVSTAR GPS space.--The Committee recommends $4,308,000 for 
this program in fiscal year 1997, an increase of $1,000,000. 
The additional $1,000,000 is to be applied to the Committee 
initiative for GPS receiver/navigation safety modifications for 
passenger aircraft in the Air Force inventory discussed 
elsewhere in this report.
    Common imagery ground surface system [CIGSS].--The 
Committee has made a technical correction, as requested by the 
Department, and has realigned $7,500,000 of the procurement 
funds requested for CIGSS to support the research and 
development efforts of this program. As discussed earlier in 
this report, funds requested for DARP activities in 
procurement, Defense-wide have been realigned to the 
responsible service account

                           Other adjustments

    The Committee recommends incorporating the following 
adjustments to the budget estimate, in accordance with the 
Senate authorization committee action:

                   committee recommended adjustments

                       Special Operations Forces

    Special warfare equipment.--The budget request includes 
$5,030,000 for the procurement of unique maritime equipment to 
enable the Naval Special Warfare Command [NSWC] to meet 
specific requirements for the execution of special operations 
and fleet support missions. Included within this request is 
$4,451,000 for the initial low-rate procurement of four rigid 
inflatable boats [RIB].
    Because of delays in the source selection process for the 
competitive award of three off-the-shelf test articles, NSWC 
will not complete testing and final source selection until 
fiscal year 1998. The Committee, therefore, recommends 
providing no procurement funds for RIB low-rate initial 
production in fiscal year 1997, a reduction of $4,451,000 from 
the budget request.
    Miscellaneous equipment.--The budget request includes 
$3,030,000 for the procurement of various types of equipment 
required to support special operations forces. The Committee 
recommends providing $15,230,000, an increase of $12,200,000 
above the budget request.
    The Committee recommends providing an additional $4,100,000 
to accelerate and complete the procurement of 357 wireless 
intercom systems for all Special Operations Command [SOCOM] 
aircraft, an additional $6,600,000 to accelerate and complete 
the procurement of active noise reduction protection for the 
remainder of all SOCOM fixed wing assets, and an additional 
$1,500,000 to initiate the procurement of individual body armor 
in sufficient quantities to support the issuance of one set for 
each authorized position, as outlined by the Senate Armed 
Services Committee. The Committee expects SOCOM to budget for 
and procure the remaining quantities of body armor required for 
a revised supply policy which issues body armor for exclusive 
use while assigned in an authorized position.

                           Other adjustments

    The Committee recommends incorporating the following 
adjustments to the budget estimate, in accordance with the 
Senate authorization committee action:

                                TITLE IV

              RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION

           Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army

                   COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

    Army missile defense systems integration (demonstration/
validation).--The Committee is aware of the importance of the 
Missile Defense Battle Integration Center [BIC] in 
accomplishing the integration of the Army's Theater Missile 
Defense Program. The Army's Battle Integration Center has been 
a critical participant in numerous exercises and experiments in 
fiscal year 1996, serving as an important tool for 
accomplishing the integration of the Army's Theater Missile 
Defense Program. The Committee allocates $27,000,000 to 
continue BIC operations.

    Artillery systems--demonstration/validation.--The Committee 
has provided funding to continue initial development of the 
advanced field artillery system known as Crusader. The Army 
recently transitioned the Crusader design to a solid propellant 
gun. This decision preserves Crusader's mobility advantage over 
the current Palladin system. However, Crusader's gun range will 
be matched by a number of international systems and could be 
achieved by improving the Palladin gun according to Army 
briefings.
    Given the impact of this decision on Crusader performance, 
the Committee believes that the Department of Defense should 
reevaluate all possible options for modernizing its self-
propelled howitzer. The system developed to modernize the 
Army's artillery force will likely serve the Army until 2030 or 
beyond. While the Army has placed great emphasis on equipping 
the first Crusader unit by 2005, Crusader must be a system for 
the 2020 battlefield.
    To ensure the improvements offered by Crusader merit an 
investment of over $8,000,000,000, the Committee believes DOD 
should conduct an independent assessment of all options for 
modernizing the Army's self-propelled howitzer force. The 
Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense (acquisition 
and technology) to commission a Defense Science Board [DSB] 
panel to review all possible options for performing the 
artillery mission.
    The review should countenance the current and future threat 
the Army's combined arms force will face. Options may include 
an assessment of the ability of low cost, GPS guided rockets 
and standoff precision munitions like the joint direct attack 
munition [JDAM] to perform, in conjunction with an improved 
Palladin, portions of the artillery munition on today's and 
tomorrow's battlefield. The panel should assess all relevant 
aspects of the options, including the cost to acquire, the cost 
to effectively perform battlefield missions, and the 
flexibility to adapt to future battlefields.
    The Committee directs that the congressional defense 
committees receive a report summarizing the analysis and 
conclusions of the DSB panel no later than June 30, 1997.


                           OTHER ADJUSTMENTS

    Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table 
lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to 
eliminate funds requested for programs which are not supported 
by firm requirements or out-year development and procurement 
funds; are premature until related, preliminary efforts are 
completed, and the results evaluated; are lower priority 
relative to other projects; are duplicative of other DOD 
projects; are increasing without a firm justification and out-
year transition commitments; or can be deferred without 
adversely affecting related program developments.
