2 Jan 2005 Jahr - 2005: ICMS® Earmark Enacted

Beschreibung:

2005: Integrated control and monitoring system.—The Committee recommends $3,500,000 for continued procurement and installation of the integrated control and monitoring system (ICMS). FAA is currently using ICMS in Denver, Seattle, Newark, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix. The agency’s statement to the Committee that it has not ‘‘validated a requirement’’ for ICMS is curious given the widespread approval for use within the national airspace system. The Committee believes this system would offer significant benefits to other operational evolution plan (OEP) airports as well as others with substantial landing aids and lighting systems. The Committee expects the agency to obligate these funds within six months of enactment, and to install such systems at airports with the highest need.
