The Next Generation Air Transportation System Joint Planning and Development Office

1. The Next Generation Air Transportation System • Joint Planning and Development Office • “Where new ideas are welcome” October 13, 2004

2. Establishes the requirement for an integrated plan Plan must meet air transportation safety, security, efficiency and capacity needs beyond those currently included in the Operational Evolution Plan Establishes the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) Establishes a multi- agency Senior Policy Committee Requires the JPDO to Operate in conjunction with relevant programs in specified government agencies Consult with the public and ensure the participation of experts from a broad range of entities within the private sector Public Law 108-176 December 12, 2003

3. Senior Policy Committee (SPC) Joint Planning and Development office (JPDO) Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) Integrated framework of architectures Robust systems engineering process Governance and Execution

4. Harmonize Equipage and Operations Globally - FAA Develop Airport Infrastructure to Meet Future Demand - FAA Integrate Air Transportation Security Activities - DHS Establish an Agile Air Traffic System - NASA Establish User-Specific Situational Awareness - DOD Establish a Comprehensive Proactive Safety Management Approach - FAA Environmental Protection that Allows Sustained Aviation Growth - FAA Develop a System-Wide Capability to Reduce Weather Impacts – DOC/NOAA The Integrated Product Teams

5. Weather impacts present day operations during all phases of flight—approximately 70% of all air traffic delays are attributed to weather – annual cost estimated at over $4B Weather strategy IPT will act to better coordinate USG and industry efforts utilizing end to end program management concepts Capability to Reduce Weather Impacts

6. Improve NGATS aviation weather services through formation of weather IPT to coordinate USG, industry, and private sector efforts/interests with specific charge to: Define and document NGATS aviation weather requirements (100% requirement) Map out existing research efforts across partners/agencies Synchronize existing weather research activities – identify gaps against 100% requirement Transformation Direction

7. Streamline research to operations processes Development and implementation of 5-dimensional aviation weather database (spatial, temporal, and probability) key transformation enabler Changes role of weather providers from product delivery to information management Ensure weather information is accounted for in future NGATS command and control systems Transformation Direction (cont)

8. Team developed draft national weather plan document during past 12 months Team consists of DOC/NASA/FAA/DOD/association/industry members Breakout groups examining observations/forecasts/ dissemination/integration/training with charge to list first order estimates of cost, schedule, risk, and major milestones by October 31st NASA/FAA/NOAA conducted kickoff meeting to explore agency roles in developing aviation weather database Status

9. Budget wedge asked for in FY07 DOC/NOAA submission, however difficult to augment FY05/06 Role and mission of IPT not well understood throughout participating agencies Development of aviation weather database major enabler to weather vision, however, significant technology investments/risk involved Issues
