A recent report by the Transportation Research Board of the National Research Councils outlined seven alternative strategies for accomplishing long-term increases in capacity at the nation's airports. These range from incremental improvements of existing systems to complete reconfiguration of the current systems to incorporate advanced management techniques and technology.

Although the Committee is concerned with airport terminal buildings and landside facilities, a literature review showed that previous work done by the National Research Council and others in this area, has been more than adequate. In particular, attention is directed to the Workshop on Future Airport Passenger Tenninals.2 That report outlined 15 needs for the future of airport terminals.

Promptly and aggressively addressing these issues will ensure a continually improving safety record while at the same time increasing system capacity. In particular, implementation of the maximum practical global radar coverage would greatly reduce oceanic separation requirements, vastly increasing the capacity of that part of the system.

NASA should focus its efforts, ~ cooperation with the FAA and industry, to expedite: fun integration of on-board communication, navigation, and flight management systems; control and standardization of software for both on-board and ground-based computer systems; development of a minion monitor to address any unacceptable developments that occur on board the aircraft, In the satellite system, or In the communication system, whether in flight or on the ground; development of a satellite communications system along with a global inf~ructure to ensure clear and redun~nt communications; and refinement of inertial navigational systems, including the use of fibber optics.
