Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided observations on the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) acquisition of computer systems, focusing on: (1) technical risks of the new host computer system and their potential impact on program performance and milestones; (2) the desirability of full-scale acquisition of the Mode S system; and (3) the adequacy of the overall design and acquisition strategy for the Advanced Automation System (AAS). FAA is developing and acquiring a new host computer system to accommodate several long-term functional improvements in its air traffic control (ATC) systems. The project involves transferring existing software to modern computers, which is known as re-hosting software to a host computer. GAO believes that FAA: (1) may have underestimated the technical complexity of re-hosting software; and (2) is not planning to adequately test and evaluate software changes to ensure software reliability. The Mode S system is a secondary surveillance radar and computer-to-cockpit data link that may not become available until the early 1990's. GAO noted: (1) that several promising alternatives may become available before Mode S, and that such alternatives may offer better coverage, accuracy, and capacity than Mode S, at a lower cost to FAA; and (2) concerns that the extent to which Mode S will improve current ATC systems will not justify the investment in Mode S. AAS is intended to provide FAA with the computer capability to handle the expected increase in air traffic in the future. GAO believes that FAA may be proceeding with AAS system design efforts without fully defining the functional requirements for the system and noted certain inadequacies in the solicitation for potential system design contractors that was issued by FAA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates that it will need $13 billion over the next 7 years to continue its modernization program. However, persistent acquisition problems raise questions about the agency's ability to field new equipment within cost, schedule, and performance parameters. This report discusses how organizational culture has contributed to the persistent acquisition problems at the FAA. Presents a recommendation on the steps that FAA can take to strengthen its acquisition management by changing its organizational culture.
