The report monitors the Air Force's investigation of alleged improper testing of flight data transmitters (FDTs) installed in Air Launched Cruise Missiles (ALCMs). FDTs help keep the missile in stable flight as it follows its preprogrammed flight path. They were assembled and tested by Northrop's Precision Products Division under subcontract to the Boeing Aerospace Company, the prime contractor for the ALCM system. Work was limited to determining the status of the ongoing investigations.
