We reviewed the Air Force's efforts to modernize the nation's Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment System's data processing and communications capabilities. Our review focused on the Air Force's effectiveness in integrating new systems under development that are crucial to the North American Aerospace Defense Command's mission to provide timely strategic surveillance and attack warning information to United States and Canadian leaders. Although management structures have been established to direct and control systems integration activities, we found that timely decisions are not being made, resulting in systems that may not be effectively integrated, are over budget, and are behind schedule.
