FAA's efforts to implement initiatives in five key areas-air traffic control modernization, procurement and personnel reform, aviation safety, aviation and computer security, and financial management-have met with limited success. For example, FAA has established an acquisition management system to reduce the time and cost of fielding new products and services. However, in many of the five areas, FAA has frequently not developed comprehensive plans, thus underestimating the complexity involved in developing new systems, and has often not adequately overseen the development and implementation of these systems. As a result, although progress has been made in each of these areas, cost overruns, delays, and/or performance shortfalls have occurred.
