1. Next Generation Air Transportation System Presentation to the Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee (COMSTAC) May 26, 2005 Robert A. Pearce Deputy Director Joint Planning & Development Office

2. Outline Background 2025 Concept for “Block-to-Block” Aircraft Operations Private Sector Involvement / NGATS Institute Schedule

3. Integrated National Plan Establishes National Goals Sets context for Transformation Sets direction for Transformation (8 Transformational Strategies) Creates governance model for multi-agency cooperation Delivered to Congress in December, 2004 –Cleared through the Administration –Signed by the Secretary of Transportation and the FAA Administrator Download.pdf version of the plan at www.jpdo.aero

4. Inter-agency Governance Senior Interagency Policy Committee Senior Interagency Policy Committee Guides and approves the National Integrated Plan Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) Develops and oversees implementation of the National Integrated Plan Inter-Agency Integrated Product Teams Develops and oversees implementation of Action Plans

5. The Integrated Product Teams Develop Airport Infrastructure to Meet Future Demand - FAA Establish an Effective Security System without Limiting Mobility or Civil Liberties - DHS Establish an Agile Air Traffic System - NASA Establish User-specific Situational Awareness - DOD Establish a Comprehensive Proactive Safety Management Approach - FAA Environmental Protection that Allows Sustained Aviation Growth - FAA Develop a System-wide Capability to Reduce Weather Impacts – DOC/NOAA Harmonize Equipage and Operations Globally - FAA

7. 2025 Concept for “Block-to-Block” Aircraft Operations

8. 2025 NGATS Capabilities Global Secure Access to Net Centric Information Airborne Information Web Broad-Area Precision Navigation Required Total System Performance – Equip for Service National Dynamic Airspace 4D Trajectory Management Seamless Weather Assimilation Into Decision Loops Equivalent Visual Operations Super Density Operations Distributed Airport Operations “Block to Block”

9. National Dynamic Airspace Airspace configuration driven by user needs, national security requirements, safety, overall efficiency of operations Single mechanism for implementing SUA, TFR’s, etc. Applying resources where the demand warrants Reconfigurable hourly

10. Management-by-Trajectory Users have 4D trajectories which are the basis for planning and execution 4D trajectories exchanged and conflicts resolved among users and ATM service providers – “The Evaluator” Strategic traffic management and separation assurance

11. “Equivalent Visual” Operations Enable aircraft to “see” operations in non-visual conditions Allow controllers to delegate “maintain separation” function to aircraft Independent operations to converging and closely-spaced parallel runways System-wide availability at all “air portals”

12. Weather Information in ATM System Stable fusion of weather observations and forecasts from multiple sensors and prediction models into one national database Dynamic updating and support for all push/pull operations Seamless assimilation of weather information in ATM system “decision loops”
