The report evaluates the Federal Aviation Administration's proposed acquisition of 14 minicomputers. This acquisition was proposed without adequately considering a formal long-range plan for Federal Aviation Administration computer systems, quantification of benefits, functional or user requirements, and costs of alternatives. The agency has not yet established strong centralized management over the planning and development of computer based information systems. This has resulted in (1) prolonged system development cycles; (2) significant cost overruns; and (3) unnecessary or non-cost-effective system development efforts. The Administrator Federal Aviation Administration, should centralize authority and responsibility for managing computer based information systems to improve control.
