ByKenDilanian The Associated Press WASHINGTON The Army's $5 billion intelligence net- work has largely failed in its promise to make crucial data easily accessible to soldiers and analysts in the field. But for a select group of companies and individ- uals, the system has been a bonanza. Designed to provide a common intelligence pic- ture from the Pentagon to the farthest reaches of Af- ghanistan, the Distributed Common Ground System has proven crash-prone, un- wieldy and "not survivable," in the words of one mem- orable 2012 testing report. Meanwhile, the defense companies that designed and built it continue to win multi-million-dollar intelli- gence contracts. And a re- volving door has spun be- tween those and the mil- itary commands that continue to fund the sys- tem, records show. Several people who worked in key roles in Army intelligence left for top jobs at those companies. In the world of government con- tracting, that's not illegal or entirely uncommon, but critics say it perpetuates a culture of failure. "The Defense Depart- ment and the Army are not going with companies that have proven solutions," said Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Ca- lif., a critic of DCGS-A who serves on the House Armed Services subcommittee on intelligence. "What they are going with are people who know government and the government acquisition process." In one case, someone from the private sector ended up in government. Russell Richardson, an engineer and businessman who was an architect of the program, made millions as a contractor, then joined the Army intelligence com- mand as a senior employee. Richardson was paid more than $13 million in 2011 after he helped sell a small military intelligence business, Potomac Fusion, to a larger intelligence con- tractor, he said. He also re- ceived stock valued at nearly $1 million in the buyer, Sotera Defense Solutions, he said, though he said that the stock later became worth- less. Both Potomac and Sotera Defense had long counted on work on DCGS- A and related programs as an important source of rev- enue, records show. Having signed a non- compete agreement with Sotera Defense, Richard- son took a job as a senior civilian official with the U.S. Army Intelligence and Se- curity Command, known as INSCOM, in June 2012. Among the command's as- signments was improving DCGS-A. Army officials de- clined to disclose Richard- son's salary but said the job paid between $120,800 and $181,500 a year. Richardson, whose title was science adviser, said he wrote requirements for services that resulted in subcontracts for a variety of companies, including Sotera Defense, although he continued to own its stock. It was all perfectly legal, an Army spokesman, My- ron Young, said in a state- ment, because Richardson didn't play a direct role in awarding the contracts to Sotera. But Richardson said he properly acknowledged a conflict of interest and re- moved himself from direct participation in Sotera-re- lated decisions in 2012. In May 2014 he went further, disqualifying himself from any involvement in any matter that touched the company. He left the Army in July 2014 to join a cyber- security company headed by former National Secu- rity Agency chief Keith Al- exander. "I followed the rules," Richardson said. Still, some critics see Richardson's seamless move from contractor to government decision-maker and back as problematic. "He never should have held the job," said John Wei- ler, vice chairman of the IT Acquisition Advisory Coun- cil and a critic of military procurement. "He was a walking conflict of inter- est." Richardson says his po- sition may have hurt Sotera by making Army contrac- tors more cautious about awarding work to the com- pany. He rejects the criticisms of DCGS-A and doesn't apol- ogize for the wealth he has reaped helping to build the system. The taxpayers got a good deal for the millions they paid the two contract- ing firms he led and sold, he said.
