United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-229358 September 20,1988 The Honorable John Dingell Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: The Army, having decided that its fleet of construction vehicles was becoming too costly to keep in repair, directed European units in 1985 to dispose of commercially available combat engineer construction vehi- cles. The Army purchased 850 replacement vehicles for Europe costing about $79 million. The purchase was part of a worldwide replacement program totaling about $470 million through fiscal year 1987. As you requested, we reviewed the Army’s replacement of construction vehicles in Europe. Our objective was to determine the basis for replac- ing these vehicles. We agree with the Army’s goal to replace worn-out vehicles with stan- dardized ones, but question its decision to dispose of usable vehicles without showing that it was cost-effective to do so. Army officials stated that old construction vehicles were difficult to support and that high repair costs made replacing the entire fleet -regardless of condi- tion-cost-effective. We found no analyses to support the Army’s position.

    A Brief History of Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation

    APOLLO NEWS REFERENCE A BRIEF HISTORY OF GRUMMAN AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING CORPORATION Grumman has come a long way since it opened shop in a rented garage in 1930. Its six founders and fifteen employees, within a year, fulfilled their first government contract: delivery of two amphibious aircraft pontoons. Today with more than 25,000 employees in 35 Long Island plants and 25 field locations, the Corporation is involved in research, development and production programs that encompass aircraft, spacecraft, support equipment, land vehicles, surface vessels, and submersibles. The story of Grumman military aircraft begins in 1933 with the development of the FF-1 (a Navy biplane fighter) and proceeds to the Navy Intruders, the Army Mohawks and the current Navy F-14 Tomcat. The Corporation produced the Denison hydrofoil boat for the U. S. Maritime Administration, the Dolphin hydrofoil for commercial service and the PG(H) Flagstaff, a military hydrofoil. For undersea research, a Grumman research submersible, the Ben Franklin, was designed and built for the historic Gulf Stream Drift Mission. In commercial aviation, Grumman is producing the Ag-Cat for crop dusting and spraying, as well as the fan-jet Gulfstream II corporate transport, the follow-on to the Gulfstream I, of which 200 were produced. With the award of a contract from the Department of Transportation, Grumman moved ahead in a new field of passenger conveyance, the Tracked Air Cushion Vehicle (T ACRV). Wind tunnel testing has been conducted and testing is being scheduled at the Federal High Speed Ground Transportation Test Center in Pueblo, Colorado for the Grumman TACRV.

Photo: Liam Marshall TABLE OF CONTENTS Bombers / Attack Fighters Multirole Helicopters Reconnaissance / Surveillance Trainers OV-101 Enterprise Concorde Aircraft Restoration Hangar Photo: Liam Marshall BOMBERS/ATTACK The basic mission of the aircraft carrier is to project the U.S. Navy’s military strength far beyond our shores. These warships are primarily deployed to deter aggression and protect American strategic interests. Should deterrence fail, the carrier’s bombers and attack aircraft engage in vital operations to support other forces. The collection includes the 1940-designed Grumman TBM Avenger of World War II. Also on display is the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, a true workhorse of the 1950s and ‘60s, as well as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Grumman A-6 Intruder, stalwarts of the Vietnam War.
