I. Description of Operations Financed: The Air Force Air Traffic Control, Approach and Landing System (ATCALS) combines Air Force
ground facilities and equipment with associated avionics, personnel and procedures to provide safe, orderly and expeditious support to combat,
mobility, and training air forces worldwide. The program encompasses those navigation and control systems common to the DoD mission and not
provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the following major functional areas: enroute and terminal navigation, approach and
landing, air traffic control communications, airfield management, combat flight inspection, airspace management and air traffic control training.
The Weather Program supports the operations, management, readiness, and sustainment of the Air Force weather forces and space environmental
support system. It ensures that general and specialized support is provided to Air Force and Army combat operations worldwide. It provides for
the centralized strategic support services of the Air Force Weather Agency (Offutt AFB, NE), the USAF Combat Climatology Center (Asheville,
NC), the 55th Space Weather Squadron (Schriever AFB, CO), and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (Andersen AFB, Guam). The Air Force
weather support system also provides a space environmental observation and forecast capability required to continuously monitor solar activity
and to assess its potential impact on military space systems and communications.
II. Force Structure Summary:
Air Traffic Control, Approach and Landing Systems (ATCALS) maintains 77 fixed-base visual flight rules (VFR) air traffic control towers and
45 instrument flight rules (IFR) radar facilities. In the tactical environment, 17 expeditionary air traffic control towers and 18 tactical Radar
Approach Control systems are maintained. Within the National Airspace System (NAS), hundreds of navigational aids (Tactical Air Navigation
System (TACAN), Instrument Landing Systems, Non-Directional Beacons (NDBS) and mobile microwave landing systems) are commissioned.

approved special salary rates for critical skills (Air Traffic Controller (ATC)
Premium Pay and Information Technology (IT) Special Salary Rates) and annualized
FY01 increases in Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) rates. These increases
are offset by a reduction in the programmed civilian pay raise percentage and
expected salary savings due to workforce restructuring. In addition, Airfield
Management has been realigned to multiple groups and Airfield Operations has been
restructured. Finally, there are 261 compensable calendar workdays in FY 2002
versus 260 days in FY 2001.
