Next. Gen Goal Achieve a Next Generation Air Transportation System that meets the nations’s future air transportation safety, security, mobility, efficiency, and environmental needs SESAR Goal To achieve a performance-based European ATM System, built in partnership, to best support the ever increasing societal and States’ (including military) expectations for air transport with respect to the growing mobility of both citizens & goods and all the other aviation activities, in a safe, secure & environmentally sustainable & cost-effective manner For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 4

Similarity in Regional Environment • Pressures – Growth-Capacity Conflict – Environment – Affordability • Commercial Customers • Obligations – ICAO Oversight • Opportunities – Advances in Technology – Procedure Improvement For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 5

Differences in Regional Environment • Geography – Weather problem – Traffic distribution/density • ATM Service – Number of Service Providers – Source and methods of Finance • Market – General Aviation • Culture and Politics – Number/Diversity of States For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 6

Next. Gen & SESAR Objectives are Similar • • • Expand Capacity Global Aviation Harmonization Ensure Safety (with increasing capacity) Protect the Environment Improve Service for Aviation Customers For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 7

Next. Gen Construct differs from SESAR • • Institutional – U. S. Government is ANSP (won’t change any time soon) – FAA funding is not cost-based – FAA includes regulation and service provision Different stakeholder balance – Major lobbies for GA and business users, single military presence Scope: – Next. Gen curb-to-curb, security, … Industry involvement different – Next. Gen is more government owned and driven – Industry participation is through the NGATS Institute to avoid competitive issues For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 8

Airport Operations and Support Improved surface Information Potential use of Virtual Towers VFR-like operations when using instruments For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 17

Safety Management Ø Integrated evaluation, rather than relying on post-accident data analysis Ø Identify emerging threats through improved collection and analysis of safety data For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 18

Environmental Management Framework Holistic approach to impact on environment Fuel savings and reduced emissions & noise are central goals to Next. Gen Continuous Descent Approach will be an early demonstration program for Next. Gen For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 19

Surveillance Services Migration from ground-based surveillance to satellite-based systems For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 20

The Integrated Work Plan • Provides the integrated framework to achieve the Next. Gen vision across all major development partners. • Builds upon the framework presented in the 2004 Integrated Plan • Describes the transition from the current to the end state defined in the Next. Gen Concept of Operations and the Enterprise Architecture. • A dynamic instrument continually refined and enhanced to reflect current priorities, budgets and programs IWP will be the JPDO plan to achieve Next.

Summary of Key Characteristics for Next. Gen and SESAR • Shift to increase User Focus – User preferences and business models • Distributed and Collaborative Decision-Making – Distributed, but optimize on Network Plan • Implement Just Safety Culture/Safety Management • Take advantage of Automation; Tailor automation to assist humans – Human role will shift to ATM, with less emphasis on tactical control • Reduce Impact of Weather – Equivalent Visional Ops for Next. Gen – 80% equivalence for SESAR – Common weather picture and improved decision support • Migrate to digital and satellite-based technologies For Official Use Only Federal Aviation Administration 22
