The Next Generation Air Transportation System “The Near Term and Beyond” Presented by Charles Leader, Director Joint Planning and Development Office

Expected Growth in the Aviation System Expected Growth in the Aviation System

Airport Landing, Weather, Lighting Radar Air/Ground Communications NAVAIDs Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Systems Today’s Air Transportation System has evolved to a primarily ground based, human centric communications, navigation and surveillance system

Doubling of Demand Quickly Overwhelms Near-Term Capacity (Current Sector Capacity Limits, 2010 Airport Capacities) 2X Demand

What is NextGen? SatNav Constellation (Positioning) SatComm Constellation (Data & Voice Digital Comm) Aeronautical Information & Curb-to-Curb 4-D Trajectory Air Traffic Management Facilities Airborne & Surface Airport Ground-Based Users AOC, FBO, Business, Private, Etc. ADS Dynamic Airspace ADS Scheduling Automation User Plans Data Base ANSP Plans Data Base EVALUATOR NETWORK CENTRIC INFORMATION Communication Constellation Navigation Constellation Secured Net-Centric Access Responsive to Needs

NextGen Goes a Long Way to Meeting Growth in Demand ( 3x Current Monitor Alert Parameter (MAP) Values, 1.3x 2010 Airport Capacities)

The Cost of “Not” Moving to NextGen Demand by Year

Building the NextGen System: An Evolution  Deploy ADS-B, DataCom, RNP, NEO, SWIM Establish equipage rules Airspace/Route access based on RTSP Establish NextGen Infrastructure Develop: FY 06-11Implement: FY All aircraft equipped for NextGen Increased capacity, improved safety, a lower controller workloads Primary NextGen Operations Develop: FY 12-17Implement: FY Airports network expanded 4DT Management (Gate-to-Gate) Restructuring of NAV & surveillance infrastructure Implement: FY NextGen Super Density Operations Develop: FY 18-21
