This study was commissioned by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to: (1) assess the feasibility and desirability of acquiring air-launched missiles from contractors in a ready-for-use configurations (known as the All-Up-Round (AUR) configuration), and (2) construct a Government-furnished equipment versus Contractor-furnished equipment (GFE/CFE) decision tree to assist acquisition personnel in making sound business judgments regarding the use of GFE and CFE in individual missile acquisition programs. Regardless of the procurement method, a contractor may be responsible for the integration of GFE. The conclusion is that contractor assembly of missiles is feasible because: (1) a significant number of prime contractors possess the necessary technical qualifications; (2) such contractors either possess, or have access to, suitable facilities; (3) making contractors responsible for missile integration will neither significantly lessen the capability of naval weapons stations to provide intermediate-level maintenance for the fleet's inventory of air-launched missiles; and (4) will not result in displacement of Federal employees. It is recommended that NAVAIR acquire air-launched missiles from prime contractors in the AUR configuration.
