The armed services face a difficult environment as they attempt to balance diminishing resources with growing missions. This environment is particularly problematic for the military air traffic control community due to increases in its dual mission of providing nearly one-fifth of all air traffic services in the National Airspace System and supporting military readiness as a major component in the force training and sustainment base. Current oversight mechanisms have recently allowed individual service air traffic systems to develop pervasive problems, indicating they may be inadequate to ensure consistent performance and safety--whether or not in turbulent times. Most of the services do not conduct routine analysis of system safety indicators and air traffic has not consistently been an area of emphasis for the service safety centers. Sharing of information between the services and with the FAA is limited and does not best support efforts to improve system safety, learn from diverse experiences, or optimize resources. Current oversight of the DOD air traffic system does not ensure consistent performance or safety as effectively as it could and does not provide assurance that degradation of system safety will be identified early. In order for the Department of Defense air traffic system to most effectively identify hazards early and seek continuous system improvement, a centralized, risk management based approach to safety that views the individual service communities as a single system must be adopted.
