Evaluation of the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Program Quality Management System DODIG-2018-045
We determined whether the DoD Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) prime contractors, United Launch Alliance (ULA) and Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), and the ULA major subcontractor, Aerojet Rocketdyne (AR), performed adequate quality assurance management for the EELV program. Specifically, we evaluated EELV contractors’ compliance with the contractually required Aerospace Standard (AS) 9100C, “Quality Management Systems – Requirements for Aviation, Space, and Defense Organizations.”
