Contents Background. -- MDA continued delivering assets to the warfighter, but did not achieve annual goals. -- MDA conducted less than half of its planned fiscal year 2022 testing. -- Appendices.
Summary Since MDA was established in 2002, the Department of Defense has spent over $194 billion, including $10.4 billion in fiscal year 2022. This spending was intended to equip operational commanders with a network of missile defense-related sensors, interceptors, and command and control capabilities. Over this time, missile threats from foreign adversaries have evolved, and MDA has faced persistent challenges as it attempts to keep pace. GAO has reported that MDA has not met the annual goals it sets for itself to deliver hardware and test its capabilities. This report—the 20th in this series—addresses the extent to which MDA (1) achieved its fiscal year 2022 baseline delivery goals and (2) completed its testing planned for fiscal year 2022. As of June 2022, there were 23 previously issued recommendations that have not been implemented.
