TITLE III
PROCUREMENT
airborne reconnaissance initiative
Since the creation of the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance
Program [DARP], the Committee has supported its activities.
However, the Committee has become increasingly alarmed at the
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:

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

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:

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.

$8,000,000, and $16,000,000, respectively, to these program
elements to permit the Army to maintain mission performance,
safety, and reduce the backlog of maintenance and repair at
major installations which support RDT&E activities. The
Committee directs that no below threshold reprogramming [BTR]
adjustments may be made to all funds provided in these program
elements.
