Research Challenge: the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen)

Abstract

The Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD), operated by The MITRE Corporation, is the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAAs) Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC). CAASDs mission is to advance the safety, security, effectiveness, and efficiency of aviation in the United States and around the world. The center has over 50 years of experience in Air Traffic Management (ATM) modernization and focuses on anticipating the FAAs needs and developing timely solutions that guide transformation to the future global aviation enterprise. In support of its FFRDC missions, MITRE operates an independent research and development program known as the MITRE Innovation Program (MIP). This program funds research to explore new technologies and concepts to solve our sponsors problems both in the near-term and in the future. The MIP is organized around a set of investment areas, each targeting an area of critical sponsor need. The goal of one of these investment areas is to accelerate the FAAs Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).This brochure describes MITREs NextGen research strategy, our targeted research outcomes, and the NextGen research portfolio of investments.
