Total system costs are still being developed but FAA estimates that for the first 10 years the cost will run between $8.7 billion and $9 billion, GAO recommends that FAA develop an integrated long- range plan addressing all aspects of the National Airspace System including use of the Nation's airspace and airports. Preliminary findings from ongoing airport and airspace reviews should be coordinated with equipment and facility decisions in the modernization plan. The modernization plan should be updated to identify priorities, subsystem costs, and interdependency of projects. Other GAO recommendations are aimed at reducing acquisition costs of the en route replacement computers and strengthening the management and development of automation and communications systems to alleviate problems identified and satisfy the increased management demands of the new system.
