Who Should Read This Report and Why. This report should be read by all who are interested in the acquisition of the Navy's Evolved SEASPARROW missile. This report addresses the need for the Navy to prepare and update key program documentation for the Evolved SEASPARROW Missile that is needed to effectively manage the program before the full-rate production decision. The Evolved SEASPARROW Missile, a Navy Acquisition Category II program, is an improved version of the RIM-7P SEASPARROW missile that will intercept high-speed maneuvering, anti-ship cruise missiles. This improved version involves the development of a new rocket motor and associated tail control section and modifications of the missile guidance, ordinance, and software. Ten participating governments are cooperatively developing the program that will cost about $3 billion. The United States' share of the program costs is $255.3 million for research, development, test, and evaluation and $1.6 billion for procurement.
