The Next Generation Air Transportation System
September 2009
Aviation Challenge• The Nation’s aviation system is broadly utilized
– Commercial transportation of passengers and cargo
– Military and Homeland Security training and operations
– Personal and business general aviation
– Law enforcement, fire-fighting, weather monitoring and other public use operations
• But the current aviation system
– is not performing adequately
– is not scalable
• And new opportunities are on the horizon – unmanned aerial systems
• Cost of business as usual – billions annually
Origin of NextGen
Vision 100 –
Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act
(Public Law 108-176), December 12, 2003
– Established goals and performance characteristics
– Established the NextGen Senior Policy Committee
– Established the NextGen Joint Planning and Development Office
NextGen System Goals*
“ To achieve our vision…, we aim to:”• Retain U.S. leadership in global aviation• Expand capacity• Ensure safety• Protect the environment• Ensure our national defense• Secure the Nation
*NextGen Integrated Plan, December 2004
NextGen: Transformation Strategy• NextGen System Goals will be achieved by researching,
developing and implementing:– Modernized, High-Performance Communications, Navigation
and Surveillance (CNS)
– Automation-Assisted Trajectory-Based Air Traffic Management (ATM)
– Clean, Efficient Aircraft Operations
– Efficient, High-Throughput Airport Operations
– Net-Centric Information Sharing (NCIS) between all System Elements
– Integrated and Proactive Risk Management for Safety, Security and Environmental Protection
NextGen is a Multi-Agency Initiative
