The aviation industry will experience changes in technology and operation over the coming years which will provide the Center with an opportunity to study the implications and implementation of these transformations. As funding becomes more robust, the Center will identify individual projects that will support FAA's strategic goals. |
The goal of the NextGen Air Transportation (NGAT) Center is to become the pre-eminent leader in exploratory research into airspace travel through technology innovation, air and noise quality analyses, and airspace system management. These activities are integral to the long-term success of the Center. Air transportation industries along with commercial operators, private aircraft owners, military, forest services, Civil Air Patrol, state highway patrols, the National Guard, and other users will see improvements in safety and efficiency, while ensuring that environmental issues are mitigated.
