Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) efforts to acquire a more automated air traffic control system, including: (1) the Advanced Automation System (AAS) computer hardware and software replacement program; (2) the Automated En Route Air Traffic Control (AERA) program; and (3) the Mode S program. GAO found that: (1) FAA will not perform some planned simulation tests of the advanced automated functions of AERA prior to including the specifications in the AAS acquisition contract; (2) FAA plans to test and validate AERA specifications are uncertain at this time; and (3) FAA lacked adequate information to make a sound and objective AAS production decision. GAO also found that: (1) FAA selected an acquisition strategy which called for concurrent full-scale development, testing, and production; (2) awarding the acquisition contract without adequately validating advanced automation functions could lead to higher costs, schedule delays, and deployment of a system that does not perform in an operational environment; (3) problems in developing test software prevented most of the simulation tests; and (4) FAA does not plan to complete development of the AAS or its subsystems or demonstrate system performance capabilities because it will base its acquisition decision on information the contractors develop during the design competition phase.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) plans to modernize its air traffic control computer system. GAO noted that FAA plans to acquire the Advanced Automation System (AAS) to: (1) increase controller productivity; (2) reduce its operating costs; (3) save fuel and passenger time; and (4) replace its aging air traffic control computer systems. GAO also noted that the FAA proposal for implementing AAS: (1) involved closing 180 terminal control facilities and moving their functions to 23 large centers; (2) did not fully analyze or properly compare a range of alternatives for AAS program elements; (3) had disadvantages in terms of increased vulnerability to loss of services in the event of catastrophe, personnel relocation problems, and the need for additional controllers during transitions from old to new facilities; and (4) used an unsound methodology to estimate AAS benefits. In addition, GAO noted that an alternative proposal involving replacement of equipment and new workstations: (1) reduced costs by over $750 million; and (2) alleviated many of the FAA proposal disadvantages. GAO believes that FAA should: (1) not award the multi-billion dollar AAS contract until it has identified the number and types of equipment necessary for a non-consolidation approach; and (2) fully analyze other terminal control facility alternatives.
