Security Annex Concept of Operations for the Next Generation Air Transportation System, Version 2.0
Abstract
The Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) is developing a concept of operations (ConOps) for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). The final version of the ConOps will provide an overall and integrated view of NextGen operations in the 2025 timeframe, including key transformations from today's operations. The overall document also identifies key research and policy issues that need resolution to achieve national goals for air transportation. The development of the ConOps is an iterative and evolutionary process that will progress using input and feedback from the aviation community. This document provides the aviation community with a preview of the NextGen ConOps and receive their comments for improvements. Details of the JPDO comment and review process can be found at the Tech Hanger at www.jpdo.aero. The full version of this document will include accepted comments for the NextGen concepts related to the following; * Airport operations and mission support * Air traffic management planning and mission support services * Flight operations planning and mission support services * Layered adaptive security services * Network-enabled infrastructure services * Shared situational awareness services * Safety management services * Environmental management services * Compliance, regulation, and harmonization services. Often, this document presents "aggressive" concepts that have not been validated but are envisioned as attainable goals to maximize benefits and flexibility for NextGen users of 2025 and beyond. Many potential futures are possible, and much will depend on the insights gained by the evolution and increasing specificity of the ConOps.
