Technology Pathways: Assessing the Integrated Plan for a Next Generation Air Transportation System
C Integrated Plan Inventory
The following table lists key elements that should appear in the Integrated Plan according to the Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, Public Law 108-176, Section 709, Part b. The table also shows where these elements appear in the Integrated Plan.
Key Elements That Should Appear in the Integrated Plan
Where These Elements Appear in the Integrated Plan
1.
National vision statement for an air transportation system capable of meeting potential air traffic demand in 2025
See Chapter 2, A National Vision for Air Transportation in2025.
2.
Description of system demand and performance requirements (e.g., safety, security, mobility, efficiency, capacity, quality, affordability, noise, and emissions)
See Chapter 3, System Goals and Performance Characteristics. System goals are as follows:
•
Retain U.S. leadership in global aviation
•
Expand capacity
•
Ensure safety
•
Protect the environment
•
Ensure our national defense
•
Secure the nation
a.
How system performance requirements were derived
A justification for each system goal is described, but there is no explicit description of how they were derived.
b.
National goals, objectives, and policies the national vision would support
These are generally included in the justification for each system goal described in Chapter 3. See also Chapter 1 discussion of three factors that “threaten the ability of aviation to grow and continue to serve the nation”:
Security
Gridlock
Global leadership
c.
Underlying socioeconomic determinants
Socioeconomic determinants that underlie the system goals are not mentioned in the plan.
d.
Associated models and analyses
Models and analyses associated with the system goals are not described in the plan.
Below are the first 10 and last 10 pages of uncorrected machine-read text (when available) of this chapter, followed by the top 30 algorithmically extracted key phrases from the chapter as a whole. Intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text on the opening pages of each chapter.
Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.
Do not use for reproduction, copying, pasting, or reading; exclusively for search engines.

3.
Operational concepts with the potential to meet system performance requirements for all system users
See Chapter 4, Operational Concepts.
a.
Scale to accommodate and encourage substantial growth
Not explicitly addressed in Chapter 4, but see
Section 7.1, Develop Airport Infrastructure to Meet Future Demand
Section 7.3, Establish an Agile Air Traffic System
b.
Build on current initiatives
Not explicitly addressed in Chapter 4, but see Chapter 6, Approach to Transformation.
c.
Integrate data streams from multiple agencies and sources (e.g., ground-based and space-based communications, navigation, and surveillance systems) to improve situational awareness and facilitate seamless global operations
Not explicitly addressed in Chapter 4, but see
Section 7.4, Establish User-Specific Situational Awareness
Section 7.8, Harmonize Equipage and Operations Globally
d.
Use the design of airport approach and departure flight paths to reduce public exposure to noise and emissions
Not addressed in the plan.
4.
A multiagency research and development roadmap
See Chapter 5, The Next Generation Air Transportation System Roadmap for Success, and Chapter 7, Transformation Strategies.
a.
Timelines through 2025 to develop and deploy the system
See Chapter 5, pages 18 and 19, for a very high-level timeline.
b.
Most significant technical obstacles and the research and development activities necessary to overcome them, including the role of each federal agency, corporations, and universities for each activity
Information at this level of detail is not included in the Integrated Plan.
c.
Technical milestones that will be used to evaluate activities
Information at this level of detail is not included in the Integrated Plan.
