Navy (continued) curement contract for MK-45 gun mounts and MK-6 ammo hoists.

FMC-Northern Ordance is involved in this program. Reason given for the recommendation is the savings in long term program costs are "not worth the near term cost in addi- tional outlays."

Seasheds—The House commit- tee recommends that 350 seasheds be purchased in FY 1987. The

Navy's proposal is to buy 100 seasheds. Two firms qualifying as small businesses have been receiv- ing contracts to supply seasheds to the Navy. The Senate committee expressed concern that the Navy acquisition rates have been unpre- dictable—adversely affecting these small contractors.

AN/SQR-17A acoustic pro- cessor—The Navy had requested funding to procure eight units in FY 1987. The House committee recom- mends an increase to 20 units. Rea- son given is more efficient produc- tion and quicker delivery which would result.

AN/BLD-I microwave inter- cept receivers—The House com- mittee recommends adding procure- ment of eight AN/BLD-I units in

FY 1987. Navy had not requested this procurement. Reason given for the recommendation is to encourage more efficient production and quicker delivery.

RESEARCH AND

DEVELOPMENT

The Navy requested $10.6 billion for RDT&E programs in FY 1987.

The House committee recommends a program totaling $9.1 billion and the Senate authorizes a $9.5-billion program. Details are in Exhibit 4.

Penguin missile—The Senate refused to authorize the Penguin missile program, citing program costs and anticipated marginal ben- efits:

Penguin is a Norwegian designed, infrared homing, anti-ship missile which would provide LAMPS

MK-III helicopters with a capa- bility to attack ships and surfaced submarines.

The Committee believes that in today's funding climate, Penguin is a program whose costs ($112.7 million) exceed its marginal bene- fits. Integration costs for Penguin have almost doubled ($36.0M to $66.0M) and the entire program will convert only 33 ships and 28 helicopters to employ the missile.

Each ship will store only 4 mis- siles. Moreover, each helicopter will carry only one Penguin. That single missile will afford too low a probability of ship kill to warrant risking the helicopter against modern shipboard AAW defenses.

Finally, the FFG-7 class ships scheduled to receive Penguin ca- pable helicopters already have the 60-mile range Harpoon anti-ship missile. Penguin, with its 20-mile range, would only marginally en- hance those ships' warfighting ca- pability.

The committee recommends au- thorization of $3,994 million for the LAMPS program. No funds are provided for Penguin. Re- maining funds provided for Pen- guin should be used for helicopter modifications necessary to accom- modate the Mark-50 torpedo.

A news account in Aviation Week & Space Technology predicts con- gressional approval of Penguin for

FY 1987. Involved in this program are Kongsberg Vapenfabrikk in

Norway and Grumman Corp.

Rankine Cycle Energy Re- covery (RACER) system—The

Navy has canceled RACER develop- ed for the DDG-51—a program that has support in the House. The

House committee has recommended authorization of $20 million for

RACER development, citing the fol- lowing:
