Sommario/riassunto

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has spent almost $56 billion since its initiation in 2002 on developing and fielding a Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) and is on course to spend about $50 billion more over the next 5 years. GAO was directed to assess the annual progress MDA made in developing the BMDS as well as improvements in accountability and transparency in agency operations, management processes, and the new block strategy.
