Aviation: FAA's Use and Management of Communications Resources.
Abstract
At the request of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, Subcommittees on Transportation and Related Agencies, the General Accounting Office identified the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) communications resources. GAO's objectives were to (1) identify communications systems and ascertain their functions and costs, and (2) identify the agency's organizations that manage the operation and acquisition of communications resources. To accomplish these objectives, GAO gathered descriptive information on FAA communications services, supporting resources, and associated costs; FAA'S communications management and acquisition processes; and planned communications projects. Examined were key communications documents such as current and future telecommunications plans, the National Airspace System (NAS) Plan, budget submissions, contractor reports, and telecommunications management and operations studies. GAO met with FAA headquarters and regional officials responsible for communications requirements formulation, budgeting, acquisition, management, and operations to discuss their efforts in these areas. GAO also discussed communications planning efforts with Martin Marietta, the contractor responsible for NAS systems engineering and integration. ?KAR) p. 11
