The V-22 Osprey has been the focus of growing conflicts between the Administration, Congress, the military services, and the aerospace industry. Since 1989, attempts by the Secretary of Defense to cancel the program have been blocked by congressional action. The paper examines the program's origins and the development of bureaucratic tactics and alliances used to exert control over the program's future. A final review shows the significance of a changing budgetary climate on the nation's defense acquisition process, and how it affects procurement strategy, political compromise, and enhancement of national security.
