Billions on software, nothing to fly for it

Senators to Probe Air Force’s $1 Billion Failed Software - Bloomberg: "Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC)’s performance on a failed $1 billion software project for the U.S. Air Force and the service’s management of it are under investigation by the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“I have directed the committee’s investigative staff to conduct a comprehensive investigation” to determine “the causes of the failure and assess steps that can be taken to avoid similar failures,” Senator Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat who heads the panel, said in an e-mailed statement.

The Expeditionary Combat Support System, once described as “revolutionary” by the Air Force, was canceled in November after the service determined the supply-chain management project was “no longer a viable option” to help meet a goal of having its financial books in shape for a federal audit by 2017."
