8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap:

WAAS is an extremely accurate navigation system for aviation, providing precise navigation and landing guidance to equipped aircraft in any weather. WAAS provides coverage to the entire U.S., overcoming obstacles to ground-based systems, such as mountainous terrain. WAAS results in safety and capacity improvements in the national airspace and will reduce FAA operations costs by enabling the removal of some of the ground-based navigation infrastructure. WAAS uses a network of precisely located ground reference stations across the U.S. with locations in Canada and Mexico to monitor GPS satellite signals. This information is processed and sent to user receivers via leased navigation transponders on geostationary satellites. The WAAS-provided messages improve the accuracy, availability, and safety of GPS-derived position information. WAAS addresses the following performance gaps: - Lack of precise navigation capabilities that can handle continued air traffic growth - Lack of stable vertical guidance in all weather conditions - Aging navigation systems that are expensive to maintain. WAAS became operational July 10, 2003 and is in a mixed life cycle. Development Modernization and Enhancement continues in conjunction with operations and maintenance through four remaining segments: 1) Full LPV Performance 2004-2008 - Evaluate and Control Phase 2) GLS (Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Landing System) scheduled to begin in 2009 and be completed in 2013 - Select Phase 3) Technical refresh 2014-2028 - Select Phase 4) Operations and Maintenance 2003-2028 - Evaluate Phase The Full LPV performance segment will expand service to almost 100% availability to the continental U.S. and most of Alaska. The GLS upgrade will leverage the improvements the Department of Defense will make as part of its GPS modernization program. As WAAS moves to the end of its current phase, FAA plans to update the WAAS Alternatives Analysis in the next segment due to known delays in GPS modernization. GLS will provide better operational capability during periods of severe solar storm activity, additional protection against interference to the GPS, and enable FAA to decommission numerous ground-based navigation aids. Following GLS development, O&M includes technical refresh due to the COTS nature of most of the system hardware. The WAAS Summary of Spending increased by $33.5M due to surveys and procedures that were not initially planned in the May 2004 APB.

To effectively balance the development and management of the DOT Transition Strategy, the first version was scoped to include those investments with development activities (non O&M). Additionally, as the NAS Architecture was publicly available, it was also not fully integrated with the materials forwarded to OMB in February 2006. However, the NAS is considered part of the DOT Transition Strategy and will be more fully integrated within the next revision. Future revisions are set to expand upon that scope and include both steady state (O&M) investments and expanded linkages to the NAS Architecture. Since this FAA investment does not appear to be specifically mentioned within the DOT Transition Strategy or the FAA Modernization Blueprint, please refer to the following public NAS websites which document the plan for the FAA's target architecture where the investment can be found as well as a sequencing plan showing the dependencies. FAA NAS Architecture Website www.nas-architecture.faa.gov NAS Operational Improvement Report http://www.nas-architecture.faa.gov/nas5/downloads/full_oi_long_report.pdf NAS Executive Views (Roadmaps/Sequencing) http://www.nas-architecture.faa.gov/nas5/view_exec/home.cfm

11

Use existing SRM Components or identify as "NEW". A "NEW" component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.

A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.

'Internal' reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. 'External' reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.

Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.

Exhibit 300: Part II: Planning, Acquisition and Performance Information

II.A. Alternatives Analysis

Part II should be completed only for investments identified as "Planning" or "Full Acquisition," or "Mixed Life-Cycle" investments in response to Question 6 in Part I, Section A above.

In selecting the best capital asset, you should identify and consider at least three viable alternatives, in addition to the current baseline, i.e., the status quo. Use OMB Circular A- 94 for all investments, and the Clinger Cohen Act of 1996 for IT investments, to determine the criteria you should use in your Benefit/Cost Analysis.

1. Did you conduct an alternatives analysis for this project?

Yes

   a. If "yes," provide the date the analysis was completed?

5/3/2004

   b. If "no," what is the anticipated date this analysis will be completed?

   c. If no analysis is planned, please briefly explain why:

II.B. Risk Management

You should have performed a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of this investment's life-cycle, developed a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?

Yes

   a. If "yes," what is the date of the plan?

6/2/2006

   b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?

Yes

c. If "yes," describe any significant changes:

WAAS has a proactive iCMM level 3 capable risk management process in compliance with the FAA's Acquisition Management System. The methodology focuses on mitigation of risks versus assumption and consists of identifying risks before they become critical; analyzing risk data to determine probability and impact to the program; proactively handling the risks by building mitigation plans to reduce, eliminate, or transfer the risks; incorporating mitigations into risk adjusted cost estimates and program schedules, and monitoring risk status and tracking mitigation plans throughout the risk lifecycle. Our risk identification methods are team initiation, quarterly risk inquiries, and semi-annual independent risk assessments. WAAS tracks and documents risk information utilizing the Automated Risk Management System (ARMS). ARMS supports metric analysis and measurement of the performance and quality of work performed. A monthly report provides status and risk activity. Risk Management Board meetings are held periodically to brief the current risk items. ARMS permits entering risks as they are identified, attaching both risk owner and subject matter expert for each risk, quantifying and prioritizing them, and documenting the required risk information. It is also a risk archive storing previous risks, activities strategies performed to close them, and lessons learned. WAAS employs the Satellite Navigation Automated Program Information Tool (SNAPIT) to combine contractor provided and government status data and facilitate review and analysis of contractor and government performance. These analyses identify potential problem areas and surface them to management for corrective action. Cost and schedule reserves have been identified and evaluated. Risks for the added useful segments were identified for a Joint Resources Council decision and are being evaluated. Lessons learned from ARMS are also reviewed and cost and schedule related mitigations are continually evaluated. We are currently tracking 10 risk items: 1 high, 3 medium and 6 low risks.

2. If there currently is no plan, will a plan be developed?

   a. If "yes," what is the planned completion date?

   b. If "no," what is the strategy for managing the risks?

3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:

In order to calculate the risk adjusted estimates a thorough risk assessment was conducted for all WAAS life cycle activities. The cost and schedule impact of each identified risk was either fully absorbed or a mitigation identified and costed. These risks and associated costs and schedule impact were documented and included in the WAAS cost basis of estimate. The inclusion of risk in the cost basis of estimate follows a 3 step process. First the calculation of the most likely cost is made as an initial point estimate. Second, all mitigation activities are costed and added to the initial point estimate. Third, a statistical model is established for yet unidentified risks based on accepted program management practices. LPV development activity assumes a PERT distribution with a minimum multiplier of 1, most likely of 1.1, and a maximum multiplier of 1.2. This model is included in @RISK simulation along with statistical models for known cost uncertainty to calculate the risk adjusted cost estimate.
