Abstract:

The audit objective was to evaluate the justification for the use of contractor test facilities as opposed to Government test facilities for production lot acceptance testing of the 25mm M919 cartridges. During the audit, we expanded the scope to include other types of medium caliber cartridges because other ammunition procurements require the contractor to perform production lot acceptance testing.
