Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) acquisition of the Advanced Automation System (AAS) to determine whether it is a technically and economically sound investment. GAO found that: (1) the current AAS acquisition strategy does not adequately mitigate technical risks and does not provide for suitable operational simulation of the advanced automation features; and (2) AAS, as currently planned, may not be economically justified. GAO believes that the FAA strategy has unacceptably high risks and may result in significant cost increases, schedule delays, and performance deficiencies. GAO also believes that: (1) a fixed price for untested hardware may result in higher costs because the contractor's risk may be reflected in higher fixed prices to compensate for the system's unproven producibility; (2) requirement changes to correct performance problems can lead to significant additional costs even in a fixed-price contract; (3) software, which constitutes a major portion of AAS development, and cost risk will be developed using a cost-plus type contract; and (4) having only one contractor during the concurrent development, test, and production phase limits risk-reduction opportunities typically achieved through cost and technical competition.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are pleased to be here today to discuss the air traffic control (ATC) automation program of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Automation and other functional areas such as communications, navigation, and surveillance are the main elements of FAA'S overall plan for modernizing the air traffic control system. The automation program, which began in the early 1980s, involves FAA'S acquisition of modern workstations and computers that process radar and flight data for controllers' use. Because of severe cost, schedule, and technical problems, FAA restructured the automation program in 1994. The Advanced Automation System (AAs) project, divided into 5 separate segments, was the centerpiece of the program before its 1994 restructuring. In 1983, FAA estimated the cost to develop AAS to be $2.5 billion and completion was scheduled for 1996. When International Business Machines (IBM) was awarded a development contract in 1988, after a 4-year design competition, FAA estimated the project would cost $4.8 billion and be completed in 1998. By 1994, when FAA restructured the automation program, FAA estimated the cost to develop AAS to be as much as $7.6 billion with completion as late as 2003.
