Pentagon leader says Marine One procurement flawed

Article Abstract:

A high-ranking Pentagon official has revealed that the Navy has established such procedures where it won't know if Marine One presidential transport helicopters are safe-and-sound aircraft before committing to buy. David Duma, acting director of operational test and evaluation in the office of Secretary of Defense, supports the long-standing policy of fly-before-buy, as the approach allows to discover deficiencies in early testing and to correct it before production and fielding.
