Testing Not Found To Cause Significant Delays In Weapons Programs

Pentagon weapons testers are not the main cause of recent major program delays, says a new study cited by Defense News.

Only seven of the programs experienced delays related to testing, according to a June 3 memo signed by Michael Gilmore, director of operational test and evaluation (DOT&E), and Ashton Carter, the Pentagon acquisition executive.
