Since September 1996, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been developing the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) project to replace the outdated computer equipment that air traffic controllers currently use in some facilities to control air traffic within 5 to 50 nautical miles of an airport. Persuant to a Congressional request, this report addresses the following questions: How do the currently projected cost and deployment schedule for STARS compare with the original cost and schedule. How often has FAA changed its approved estimates. How has FAA responded to the Department of Transportation Inspector General's concerns about the agency's plans for deploying STARS in Philadelphia. What has been the impact of changes in the schedule for deploying STARS.
