GAO provided information regarding the Air Force's progress in
achieving and sustaining full operational capability for the
Peacekeeper missile force. GAO found that the Air Force: (1)
delayed its plans to start full operational capability testing,
citing congressional directions, basing mode redirections, gaps
between developmental and operational flight testing, and
production delays; (2) believes that developmental flight testing
has demonstrated the system's capability; (3) plans to conduct only
three phase I flight tests a year until fiscal year 1994 in order
to meet the scheduled full operational capability milestone for the
Peacekeeper in Minuteman Silo Program; (4) plans phase II testing
to consist of 84 flight tests over 12 years; (5) plans to sustain
required alert rates for a force of 50 Peacekeeper missiles with an
inventory of 61 serviceable units and 20 units in repair; (6) had
accepted 81 units by December 1988, although only 71 were fully
operational; (7) improved its mean recycling time from 2,444 to
2,839 hours, but had not attained its planned level of 3,000 hours;
and (8) will have difficulty sustaining its average 30-day repair
time.
