The Pentagon is investigating evidence that General Dynamics Corp. overcharged the Defense Department at least $1 million during its development of a prototype anti-aircraft gun, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Government sources told the paper that the investigation concerned evidence that one of the company’s divisions spent the extra money on the prototype DIVAD anti-aircraft gun in 1980 and 1981 and then charged the expenditure illegally to another Pentagon contract.
