1. 1. 1. 1. Scope:Scope:Scope:Scope: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) uses Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) software to manage their existing buildings and facilities nationwide and in American territories. The FAA has been using the technology since the early 1990’s to reduce their drafting backlog and provide support for other analytical requirements. The current CADD software has been able to meet the FAA’s current needs, however, future efficiencies are needed to offset the increase in workload and the anticipated reduction in the workforce brought on by reductions in funding. The current CADD software will continue to be needed for existing facilities. The FAA will need to evolve to improve productivity for all new facilities (towers and next generation facilities) to accommodate the changing workload. The FAA is seeking to sustain current CADD operations while evolving to accommodate industry embraced Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions. These capabilities will be utilized nationally within the FAA.
