Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addresses the extent to which the FAA Acquisition Mgmt. System provides a comprehensive approach for managing the agency's investments in air traffic control information technology. FAA plans to spend billions of dollars to replace data-processing, navigation, communications, and other systems under its air traffic control modernization program but has a history of poor performance in delivering systems on time and within budget and performance parameters. The report found that FAA has established a structured approach for managing its modernization investments, but weaknesses in this approach limit its effectiveness.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has undertaken an ambitious and costly program to modernize its air traffic control system. Under this program, FAA is acquiring new surveillance, data-processing, navigation, and communications equipment in addition to new facilities and support equipment. Totaling 126 active projects, the modernization effort is estimated to cost $26.5 billion from fiscal year 1982 through fiscal 2004.' Of this total, FAA estimates that it will need $12.9 billion for 59 information technology projects-the software/intensive and complex information and communications systems supporting the air traffic control system. Given the large expenditures required to carry out FAA'S modernization effort, the past problems, and the continuing concerns about key projects funded under the program, the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation's Subcommittee on Aviation and the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure's Subcommittee on Aviation asked GAO to review FAA'S investment management approach as carried out through the Acquisition Management System (AMS), which was implemented in April 1996. GAO evaluated the processes, data, and decisions that FAA uses to select, control, and evaluate its investments. This report addresses the extent to which FAA, through AMS, (1) has established a structured approach for selecting and controlling its investments; (2) incorporates all investments, including those currently in operation, in the agency's portfolio; and (3) selects, controls, and evaluates its investments with complete and reliable information.

Book excerpt: In FY 2008, the FAA plans to spend $2 billion on info. technology (IT) investments -- many of which support FAA¿s air traffic control modernization. To more effectively manage such investments, in 2005 the Office of Mgmt. and Budget required agencies to use earned value mgmt. (EVM). EVM is a project mgmt. approach that provides objective reports of project status, produces early warning signs of impending schedule delays and cost overruns, and provides unbiased estimates of a program¿s total costs. This report: assesses FAA¿s policies for implementing EVM on its IT investments; evaluates whether the agency is adequately using these techniques to manage key IT acquisitions; and assesses the agency¿s efforts to oversee EVM compliance.

To this end, FAA is modernizing its air traffic control systems, a multibillion dollar effort that has been designated as a high-risk program. Research into the practices of successful public- & private-sector organizations has shown that developing & using an enterprise architecture, or blueprint, to guide & constrain systems investments is crucial to the success of such a modernization effort. This report determines whether FAA has established an effective processes for managing the development & implementation of an enterprise architecture. Includes recommendations. Charts & tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fed. Aviation Admin. began to modernize the ATC system in 1981 under a 10-year $12 billion program that comprised 80 projects. In 1991, the modernization effort was redefined incorporating the original projects and about 150 additional ones. Currently, the program is estimated to cost $32.8 billion through the year 2000 and will require an additional $1.3 billion for 2001. This report provides information on the status of modernization of the ATC system. Also contains information on overall costs of air traffic control modernization. Tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the status of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) air traffic control (ATC) system modernization efforts, focusing on: (1) projects funded through the FAA facilities and equipment (F&E) appropriation account under the Capital Investment Plan (CIP); (2) changes in total modernization costs, number of completed projects, and trends for unobligated funds; and (3) cost and schedule estimates for the 15 major projects that account for over 40 percent of the FAA fiscal year (FY) 1996 F&E budget request. GAO found that: (1) FAA estimates that ATC modernization costs will total $37.3 billion from FY 1982 through FY 2003, a $1.5 billion decrease from the 1994 estimate; (2) although Congress has appropriated $19.8 billion through FY 1995 for ATC modernization, FAA expects lower funding levels and will have to extend development schedules beyond FY 2003 or terminate some projects; (3) 18 of the current 158 projects under CIP will extend beyond FY 2003 and cost an additional $842 million; (4) FAA has completed 64 projects at a cost of $3.8 billion and has decreased its unobligated F&E balance for the second straight year, partly due to appropriation expirations and rescissions; (5) FAA has added 5 new projects to CIP at a cost of $232 million; (6) estimated F&E costs for 11 of the 15 major project have increased by $219 million in the past year; (7) FAA has made progress in fielding equipment for some of its projects, but implementation schedules for 9 projects have slipped by an average of 5 years; (8) because of substantial cost increases and schedule slippages, FAA has restructured its Advanced Automation System (AAS) into 3 more manageable projects that are expected to cost less, but these projects will provide lesser capabilities; and (9) although FAA has strengthened its control of the restructured AAS, it continues to experience software problems.

Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the organization and provision of air traffic control (ATC) services has been dramatically transformed. Privatization and commercialization of air navigation has become commonplace. Far-reaching reforms, under a variety of organizational structures and aviation settings, have occurred across the world, most notably in Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. In contrast, innovations have lagged behind in other countries - including the United States. In addition, much recent attention has been given to aviation infrastructure and safety in Africa, in some parts of Asia and Latin America, and in rapidly growing air markets including India and China. In response, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and multilateral banks and institutions have launched a major effort to improve the performance and safety of civil aviation in developing economies. Managing the Skies has been written to provide a guide to what has been tried in air traffic management, what has worked, and what lessons might be learned. The book starts with an introduction to air navigation, its development and current state, as well as trends in aviation activity. It examines in detail the experiences of ATC in both mature and emerging markets across the world, considering many alternative models, efforts to restructure and comparisons of performance. The book contains several in-depth case studies to provide a truly global perspective of ATC practices. Particular attention is given to the FAA and its efforts and challenges in reforming ATC in the US, both historically and in the current climate. It addresses the issues of finance, organization, investment, and safety restructuring and reform options that are at the core of current debates involving air traffic control in the United States. Further to this, the authors discuss the alternatives available for future change. The book concludes by examining the cross-cutting issues of labor relations and organizational structures, presenting the lessons learned and considering what the future may hold. As the world experiences a resurgence in air travel and civil aviation, the issues discussed in Managing the Skies are particularly timely not only for industry and government leaders, but for the world's air travelers.
