Summary
The Department of the Air Force has worked for decades to develop improved space command and control systems. A number of prior efforts experienced significant delays and cost increases. The current Space C2 program began in 2018. This report assesses the extent to which (1) the Department of the Air Force's 2020 and 2021 Space C2 annual reports include and address the key elements that Congress outlined; and (2) the annual reports provide effective information for program oversight. GAO recommends that the Air Force include in its annual reports: (1) an explanation of significant changes from the previous report and (2) user perspectives on the operational benefits of program efforts.
