Key Nextgen Achievements in the First 10 Years

摘要

Nextgen was born on the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' flight when Congress and President George W. Bush established an inter-agency office to "manage work related to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS)." We've accomplished quite a bit since 2003. The vision for NGATS, as it was known for the first few years, included improved aviation safety, security, efficiency, quality, and affordability using new ground- and space-based communications, navigation, and surveillance technologies to accommodate and encourage "substantial growth." All by 2025.
