Boeing Says FCS Risk Management Plan Will Quell Concerns

摘要

Members of Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) are concerned that the U.S. Army's plans for the Future Combat System (FCS) are too ambitious, but the prime contractor for the effort is confident that it has a plan in place to manage risk on the program. Boeing Co. has worked with the Army to take a variety of steps to ensure that the FCS capabilities come online as scheduled, and in fact intends to deliver some systems earlier than initially planned, according to Jack Paul, manager of FCS strategic business development at Boeing.
