Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 1981, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began a modernization program to replace and upgrade the National Airspace System's (NAS) equipment and facilities to meet the expected increase in traffic volume, enhance the margin of air safety, and increase the efficiency of the air traffic control system-the principal component of the NAS. historically, the modernization program has experienced many problems in meeting cost, schedule, and performance goals. As a result, many of the promised benefits from using new equipment have been delayed, and the aviation community's confidence in FAA'S ability to manage the modernization program has been weakened. Because of the complexity, cost, and problem-plagued past of FAA'S modernization program, we designated it a high-risk information technology initiative in 1995 and again in 1997.' In light of past problems and continuing concerns about key projects being funded under this program, you asked us to provide current information on the status of the modernization program. As agreed with your offices, this report provides information on the (1) status of the overall modernization program, including its cost; (2) status of 18 key modernization projects; and (3) challenges facing the overall modernization program. (See app. I for specific information on these 18 projects. A listing of projects completed from 1983 through August 1998 is included in app. II.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the status of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) overall air traffic control modernization program and selected individual major systems. GAO found that FAA: (1) experienced increases in the overall cost of the modernization effort, and estimated that it would require about $31 billion in facilities and equipment appropriations through 2000, a $4 billion increase over its April 1990 estimate; (2) completed 30 modernization projects through 1990, accounting for 2 percent of the $31 billion, and had 203 active and planned projects in its Capital Investment Plan; (3) continued to experience cost increases ranging from $0.2 million to $504 million and schedule delays ranging from 8 to 23 months, for 12 major systems; (4) completed only one of six projects it anticipated completing in 1990; (5) redefined its major acquisitions to include those procurements exceeding $50 million, resulting in an increase in the number of major acquisitions from 11 in 1990 to 44 in 1991; and (6) made several efforts to increase its compliance with federal requirements to reevaluate major projects at critical points in the procurement process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) program to modernize its National Airspace System (NAS), focusing on: (1) the status of key modernization projects; (2) FAA's actions to implement recommendations to correct modernization problems; and (3) the opportunities and challenges facing FAA as it embarks upon its new modernization approach. GAO noted that: (1) since 1982, Congress has appropriated over $25 billion to the modernization program; (2) while FAA has fielded some equipment, historically, the agency has experienced considerable difficulty in delivering systems with promised cost and schedule parameters; (3) as a result, FAA has been forced to implement costly interim projects; (4) meanwhile, two key systems--the Wide Area Augmentation System and the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System--have encountered cost increases and schedule delays; (5) GAO's work has pinpointed the root causes of FAA's modernization problems and has recommended actions to overcome them; (6) most recently, GAO found shortcomings in the areas of systems architecture or the overall modernization blueprint, cost estimating and accounting, software acquisition, and organizational culture; (7) although FAA has begun to implement many of GAO's recommendations, sustained management attention is required to improve the management of the modernization program; (8) FAA is collaborating with and seeking commitment from users in developing a new approach to make the modernization less costly and to provide earlier user benefits; (9) the challenge for FAA is to have disciplined processes in place in order to deliver projects as promised; and (10) FAA will also need to quickly address the looming year 2000 computer crisis to ensure that critical air traffic control systems do not malfunction or produce inaccurate information simply because the date has changed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the status of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Airspace System Plan (NAS), focusing on the: (1) overall status of the program; and (2) program's 12 major systems' projected cost and schedule as of January 1990. GAO found that: (1) FAA had completed 28 projects, or about 32 percent of all NAS projects, but the completed projects represented only 4 percent of total NAS costs; (2) FAA had not remedied delays it experienced in the 12 major systems; (3) FAA made two additional NAS changes, which increased the estimated NAS cost to nearly $24 billion; (4) original NAS projects accounted for about 55 percent of the total number of air traffic control (ATC) modernization programs; (5) from fiscal year (FY) 1982 to FY 1989, FAA received about $7.2 billion in appropriations for ATC modernization; and (6) due to its high level of unobligated funds, FAA planned to increase facilities and equipment appropriations and obligated balances.
