NEXTGEN
• Why Invest in NEXTGEN Technologies now?– Near term investment is critical as Demand and Delay will return – Aviation is key to our economy and global competitiveness
• What is NEXTGEN?– NEXTGEN focuses on technologies and procedures to increase
capacity, safety, and reduce delays and emissions – Biggest challenges in today's system are during weather events where
h diffi lti di t h i ditiwe have difficulties responding to changing conditions – NEXTGEN infrastructure being put in place to improve Air Traffic
Management information accuracy, transmission speed, and provide a shared view to controllers pilots and airline dispatchersshared view to controllers, pilots, and airline dispatchers
– Key technologies are ADS-B, DataComm, SWIM, and NNEW

NEXTGEN
• What are NEXTGEN Risks?– Many opportunities exists to build off commercial technologies but
i l t ti i th A i ti I f t t i limplementation in the Aviation Infrastructure is complex as implementation is real time and safety level must remain highest
– FAA NEXTGEN plan is to focus on Near Term improvements that have high certainty of success and provide platform for additionalhave high certainty of success and provide platform for additional future improvements
• How does NEXTGEN tie into the Global ATM system?How does NEXTGEN tie into the Global ATM system?– NEXTGEN requires Collaboration with Global Partners as we serve
the same airlines– FAA has established key partnerships around the world including with y p p g
the European SESAR program, Asia and the South Pacific through ASPIRE, and continued partnerships with ICAO and CANSO.

NextGen Defined
Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen)(NextGen)
A system that is based on satellite navigation and control digital non-voice communication and advancedcontrol, digital non voice communication and advanced networking, and a sharing of decision making between
the ground and the cockpit.

• The benefit pool represents a theoretical optimum. Safety and capacity constraints limit the practicality of ever fully recovering these “inefficiencies”
• Similar total estimated excess times in US and Europe but with differences in the distribution along the phase of flight. Inefficiencies have a different impact (fuel burn, time) on airspace users, depending on the phase of flight (airborne vs. ground) and the level of predictability (strategic vs. tactical).

NextGen Transformational Programs
Automatic Dependent Surveillance –Broadcast (ADS-B)
• Infrastructure includes ground stations and• Infrastructure includes ground stations and aircraft avionics.
System Wide Information Management (SWIM)
Stages of readiness:
I l t ti• IT infrastructure program that makes it easier for FAA to create interfaces between systems.
Data Communications
Implementation
Investment Analysis
Data Communications• Most functionality will flow through ERAM.
Expect there would be COTS boxes hosted in ARTCCs and/or TRACONs.

RTCA Task Force 5 Report
• Task Force report was delivered to the FAA on September 9th
– Documented commitments by the FAA and Operators– Prioritized the Operational Capability Sets– Defined “What,” “Where,” “Who,” and “When,” for each capability– Recommended strategies and means to accelerate NAS-wide
operational benefits– Recommended business strategies to ensure delivery of benefits and
iencourage equipage• The FAA Response was delivered in January of 2010• The updated changes are included in the FY10 NextGen
