More than half of the Department of Defense's major acquisition programs have been delayed, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office.

The GAO’s latest assessment, released on Wednesday, included a review of 63 of the department’s costliest weapon systems acquisition programs and 29 that have yet to deliver capabilities. Eight of the 29 MDAPs had reported a delay within the past year, and nine more had reported a delay during that time and in the GAO’s prior assessment, while the remaining 12 reported no such problems.

Areas of concern highlighted in the report include space and undersea operations, cyber, artificial intelligence, and"area-denial," which is described as China’s expansion of its capabilities to “counter third party intervention during a large-scale, theater campaign such as a Taiwan contingency.”The Pentagon transmitted its classified 2022 National Defense Strategy to Congress in late March.
