US Senate has formally inquired the Pentagon about how the Air Force could call off a software upgrade after spending USD 1 billion.
On Wednesday, Senators sent a letter demanding an explanation for the cancelation of upgrading Air Force logistics management program, after it was reported that it would cost another USD 1 billion to achieve one-quarter of the capabilities originally planned for the software.
“From what we know to date, this case appears to be one of the most egregious examples of mismanagement in recent memory,” it was addressed in the letter to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
The project was cancelled one month ago after spending six years trying to modernize the system without success.
That’s OK it’s only tax money
