Addresses the extent to which the FAA Acquisition Mgmt. System provides a comprehensive approach for managing the agency's investments in air traffic control information technology. FAA plans to spend billions of dollars to replace data-processing, navigation, communications, and other systems under its air traffic control modernization program but has a history of poor performance in delivering systems on time and within budget and performance parameters. The report found that FAA has established a structured approach for managing its modernization investments, but weaknesses in this approach limit its effectiveness.
Contains recommendations describing the need for a Federal Aviation Admin. (FAA)-wide systems architecture in modernizing Air Traffic Control (ATC), and assesses FAA's efforts to develop and utilize one. Reviews FAA's ATC modernization to determine (1) whether FAA has a target architecture(s), and associated subarchitectures, to guide the development and evolution of its ATC systems; and (2) what, if any, architectural incompatibilities exist among ATC systems, and the effect of these incompatibilities. Charts, tables and photos.
