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.

The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Air Traffic Organization (ATO) provides air traffic control (ATC) services within U.S. and certain international airspace. U.S. airspace is the most expansive in the world, covering roughly 30.2 million square miles that make up more than more than 17 percent of the world's airspace.3 Within that airspace, FAA air traffic controllers handle roughly 50,000 operations daily.4 As the demands on the air traffic system have changed over time, Congress and several presidential administrations have sought reforms to improve safety and efficiency and to accelerate modernization projects. Over the past two decades, U.S. aviation stakeholders have debated whether the FAA should be the entity in the United States that operates and modernizes the ATC system. During this period, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported on challenges FAA has faced in operating and modernizing the ATC system. FAA reorganized several times in attempts to improve its performance and implement an initiative to modernize the ATC system, known as NextGen. Recent budgetary pressures have rekindled industry debate about FAA's efficiency in operating and modernizing the ATC system. This book provides perspectives from a wide range of stakeholders on the performance of the ATC system and the NextGen modernization initiative and any challenges FAA may face in managing these activities and potential changes that could improve the performance of the ATC system, including the NextGen modernization initiative.

GAO discussed the status of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Airspace System Plan. GAO noted that: (1) 12 projects that the Department of Transportation considered crucial to the plan's success were experiencing major implementation delays; (2) FAA was not following established guidelines for reviewing each acquisition phase to reduce cost overruns, schedule delays, performance problems, and premature production; (3) FAA did not have an independent test group to ensure unbiased system evaluation and testing; (4) because project delays and new requirements have expanded the plan's original scope, modernization costs will total an estimated $27 billion, more than double the initial FAA projection; (5) in November 1988, FAA revised the plan to include new requirements, but still needed to set project priorities; (6) FAA needed to determine how to finance higher modernization costs and how increasing financial reliance on the modernization trust fund will affect user fees and modernization activities; (7) expanded FAA use of support contractors may affect the role of the prime contractor in integrating modernization projects; (8) inadequate regional management information systems and a lack of well-defined requirements and time frames were causing major field implementation problems; and (9) FAA was experiencing difficulties with integrating new technology into hazardous weather detection operations.
