We reviewed the justifications for the fiscal year 1993 budget requests of $ 1.7 billion for the following 13 missile systems procured by the Army: the Hellfire Optimized Missile System (HOMs); the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRs); the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS); the Tube-Launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided Missile System (TOW); the Patriot; the Javelin; the Extended Range Interceptor Technology (ERINT) program; the Theater High Altitude Area Defense System and related Ground Based Radar; the Corps Surface-to-Air Missile; the Brilliant Antitank Weapon; the Avenger; and the Stinger. We also reviewed the Navy's fiscal year 1993 requests of $50.5 million for the HOMS and $23.9 million for the TOW for the Marine Corps. In addition, we reviewed selected segments of appropriations for prior years, including the fiscal year 1991 Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm supplemental appropriation, to determine whether unused funds could be rescinded. In September 1992, we briefed your staffs on the results of our review. This report summarizes those results.
