Wasteful Duplication in Military Mapping Exposed by Subcommittee
A House panel reports up to 750000 dollars yearly wasted by duplicating maps and charts. The Air Force runs 43 visual country charts worth over 200000 annually and buys radio facility charts already held by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Army pilots use no Survey charts yet buys a third set from a private firm costing about 200000 annually. The survey could standardize needs but lacks authority to end duplication.
