This is GAO’s annual assessment for 2012, issued in March 2012, of Department of Defense (DOD) weapon system acquisitions, an area that is on GAO’s high-risk list. The report is in response to the mandate in the joint explanatory statement to the DOD Appropriations Act, 2009. It includes (1) observations on the cost performance of DOD's 2011 portfolio of 96 major defense acquisition programs; (2) an assessment of the knowledge attained by key junctures in the acquisition process for 37 major defense acquisition programs, which were selected because they were in development or early production; (3) observations on the implementation of acquisition reforms, particularly for 16 future major defense acquisition programs that are not yet in the portfolio, which represent the best opportunity to assess DOD's progress in this area.. The estimated cost of DOD's 2011 portfolio stands at about $1.58 trillion and has grown by over $74 billion or 5 percent in the past year. About $30 billion of this growth can be attributed to quantity changes within major defense acquisition programs; the other $45 billion is due to research and development cost growth and production inefficiencies."
