Book excerpt: This audit resulted from a complaint to the DoD Hotline that the Navy was not effectively managing the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) Program. The CEC Program, an acquisition category IC effort, is intended to improve the Navy' S anti-air warfare capability by coordinating all anti-air warfare sensors into a single real-time, fire control, radar picture. The CEC Program began in FY 1985 and was a classified program until December 1993. While technically not the prime contractor for the CEC Program, the Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory (the Laboratory) oversees engineering and development for the Program. The Navy estimated the CEC Program costs to be $2.5 billion for research, development and procurement in FY 1993 dollars. In March 1995, the Navy plans to hold a Milestone II, Development Approval, decision for the CEC Program. The Navy plans to declare attainment of initial operational capability (IOC) for the CEC Program in late FY 1996 before operational testing and a Milestone III, Production Approval, decision.
