NextGen
Next Generation Air Transportation System
A system that is based on satellite navigation and control,
digital non-voice communication, and advanced networking,
along with sharing of decision making between the ground
and the cockpit.

Why NextGen ?
• The U.S. air transportation system is the
largest in the world.
• Over 2 million people, fly every single day,
on average.
• Approximately 61,000 people are airborne,
on average, over the U.S. in an hour.

Why NextGen ?
• 181 million pounds of air cargo is carried
daily in the U.S.
• 600,000 Americans hold a pilot’s certificate
and fly one or more of the 200,000 aircraft in
the U.S.
• Over 18,000 air traffic controllers handle 39
million flights each year.

NextGen Fundamental Capabilities
• System Wide Information Management (SWIM)
– Infrastructure that allows for network enabled
information sharing of all NAS related data
• NextGen Network Enabled Weather (NNEW)
– Provides a common integrated weather
picture to participating stakeholders
– Integrates weather into more decision making
processes

NextGen Fundamental Capabilities
• NextGen Data Communications
– Routine communications moved from voice
to data allowing a single air traffic controller
to safely handle more traffic
• All Weather Operations
– Enhanced flight vision systems (EFVS) &
synthetic vision systems (SVS) enable
equivalent visual operations

NextGen Fundamental Capabilities
• Trajectory Based Operations (TBO)
– Aircraft will fly negotiated trajectories
using advanced flight management
systems and advanced air traffic
automation
– Airspace and aircraft will be managed
and not controlled

NextGen Fundamental Capabilities
• Automatic Dependent Surveillance –
Broadcast (ADS-B)
– Enables highly precise and accurate
surveillance information
• Performance – Based Navigation (PBN)
– Area navigation (RNAV) & required
navigation performance (RNP)
procedures increase airspace efficiency
and capacity
