Summary:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has undertaken an ambitious program to modernize its air traffic control system--one estimated to cost $26.5 billion through fiscal year 2004. FAA is buying new surveillance, data-processing, navigation, and communications equipment in addition to new facilities and support equipment. 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. In light of continuing congressional concerns about FAA's modernization effort, this report addresses the extent to which FAA, through its Acquisition Management System, (1) has established a structured approach for selecting and controlling its investments; (2) incorporates all investments, including those now in operation, in the agency's portfolio; and (3) selects, controls, and evaluates its investments with complete and reliable information.
