Project Announcement: Termination of the Audit of Pre-Deployment Training on Countering Unmanned Aerial Systems (Project No. D2019-D000RM-0206.000)

We announced the subject audit on September 16, 2019, (attached). The objective was to determine whether the Military Services conducted pre-deployment training on countering an adversary’s use of unmanned aerial systems, in accordance with the operational requirements of the geographic combatant commanders. We are terminating this audit because the coronavirus disease—2019 pandemic caused the team to suspend the audit, and while suspended the audit’s objective was overcome by events.

Project Announcement: Termination of the Evaluation of the DoD’s Strategy to Test Space-Based Systems in Contested Environments (Project No. D2020-DEV0SN-0181.000)

We announced the subject audit on September 28, 2020, (attached). The objective of this evaluation was to determine the extent to which the DoD has developed and implemented a strategy for an integrated test program to validate the survivability of space-based systems in contested space environments. We are terminating this evaluation because the coronavirus disease–2019 pandemic affected the operational environment and the team’s ability to effectively complete the evaluation. Furthermore, during the course of the suspension of our evaluation, the announced objective became overcome by events.
