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.

Key Elements That Should Appear in the Integrated Plan

Where These Elements Appear in the Integrated Plan

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.

In 2003, Congress directed the Secretary of Transportation to establish the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS) Joint Planning and Development Office (JDPO) to plan the development of an air transportation system capable of meeting potential air traffic demand for 2025. All federal agencies involved in aviation participate in the JDPO providing the opportunity overcome many of the major barriers to developing an effective NGATS. To assist this process, the NRC was asked to examine the first NGATS Integrated Plan prepared by JPDO and submitted to Congress in 2004. This report provides a review of the vision and goals, the operational concepts, and the R&D roadmap developed by the plan; an analysis of the JDPO integrated product teams created to carry out the planning; and an assessment of the implementation process.
