Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date March 25, 1999
Report No. T-RCED/AIMD-99-137
Subject
Summary:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began a multibillion dollar modernization effort in 1981 to improve the safety, the capacity, and the efficiency of the nation's air traffic control system. FAA's most recent estimate is that it will spend about $41 billion on this effort through 2004. Despite some successes in deploying new modernization systems during the past 20 years, FAA has often failed to deliver major systems on time and within budget. Implementing disciplined acquisition management practices is crucial if agencies are to consistently deliver new systems within established cost, schedule, and performance goals. In light of past problems and continuing concerns about key projects funded under this program, this testimony discusses the (1) causes of the problems that have plagued FAA's modernization program for nearly two decades and (2) agency's recent efforts to overcome these problems. GAO also raises concerns about the readiness of FAA and others to meet Year 2000 requirements.
