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
Outline • Background • 2025 Concept for “Block-to-Block” Aircraft Operations • Private Sector Involvement / NGATS Institute • Schedule
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 Integrated National Plan Download .pdf version of the plan at www.jpdo.aero
Inter-agency Governance • Senior Interagency Policy Committee • Guides and approves the National Integrated Plan • 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
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
Outline • Background • 2025 Concept for “Block-to-Block” Aircraft Operations • Private Sector Involvement / NGATS Institute • Schedule
2025 NGATS Capabilities “Block to Block” • 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
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
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
“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”
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”
