The World Wide Military Command and Control Information System--Problems in Information Resource Management

GAO's evaluation of the World Wide Military Command and Control Information System modernization effort showed that continuing problems associated with providing automated support for command and control functions are not being properly addressed by DOD. DOD's efforts are not yet completed; however, the methods employed and progress to date are unlikely to enable the replacement of the World Wide Military Command and Control Information System to meet its intended goals. Further, these efforts are proceeding far too slowly to be considered responsive to the need to improve current system performance. DOD anticipates 10 more years will be necessary to modernize the system. GAO's evaluation of the modernization program shows that substantial changes are needed in the program's management structure before the system can be fully and effectively modified. (Author).
