Civil service and military personnel involved in the management oversight and procurement authority for Navy acquisition programs should read this report. It discusses program management oversight issues that the Navy should address to improve how acquisition officials manage and acquire weapon systems. This is the third in a series of reports that discusses the Service Acquisition Executives management oversight and procurement authority for Acquisition Category IC and II programs. This report discusses the management oversight and procurement authority within the Navy. Two other reports discussed the management oversight and procurement authority within the Army and Air Force. We initiated this audit due to congressional and DoD interest in whether milestone decision authorities and procurement officials for the Services were complying with statutory and regulatory requirements in the DoD acquisition process. We evaluated the adequacy of the Navy Acquisition Executive (NAE) management oversight and procurement authority by reviewing 13 Acquisition Category IC and II programs with a total estimated research and development cost of $6.170 billion and a total estimated procurement cost of $28.244 billion in FY 2006 dollars. The Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development, and Acquisition) is the milestone decision authority for the development and procurement of Navy Acquisition Category IC and II programs. The Navy uses a database called Dashboard to help manage the Navy programs.
