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.

• 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 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

ARAST 2011
• 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

ARAST 2011
• 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
