NAS Automation Equipment Operating Cost Estimates, FY 1978-1984,
Abstract
This report provides summary information related to the cost of maintenance and support of certain system elements of the National Airspace System. Specific equipments for which support costs were developed include the major automation equipments of the enroute and the terminal air traffic control systems. The reader is reminded that this study effort was initiated prior to the formal establishment of the Computer Replacement Program and that the equipment under consideration for replacement is only partially matched by the list of equipment addressed in the study. The information developed should prove useful, however, in evaluating equipment common to both sets. The equipments which are the basis for this report cost about $137 million in support and maintenance during FY 1979. Of this total, about $112 million (82%) was labor, $9 million (6%) was material and $16 million (12%) was services. Of the total $112,218,000 of FAA labor AIRWAY FACILITIES cost $78,947,000 (70%), AIR TRAFFIC software support was $30,027,000 (27%) and other labor was $3,244,000 (3%). Support of the Enroute equipments cost $79,647,000 (58%) and Terminal equipments cost $57,339,000 (42%). (Author)
