2025 Concept for “Block-to-Block” Aircraft Operations
2025 NGATS Capabilities
• Global Secure Access to Net Centric Information
• Airborne Information Web
• Broad-Area Precision Navigation
• Required Total System Performance – Equip for Service
• National Dynamic Airspace
• 4D Trajectory Management
• Seamless Weather Assimilation Into Decision Loops
• Equivalent Visual Operations
• Super Density Operations
• Distributed Airport Operations
“Block to Block”
National Dynamic Airspace
• Airspace configuration driven by user needs, national security requirements, safety, overall efficiency of operations
• Single mechanism for implementing SUA, TFR’s, etc.
• Applying resources where the demand warrants
• Reconfigurable hourly
Management-by-Trajectory
• Users have 4D trajectories which are the basis for planning and execution
• 4D trajectories exchanged and conflicts resolved among users and ATM service providers – “The Evaluator”
• Strategic traffic management and separation assurance
“Equivalent Visual” Operations
• Enable aircraft to “see” operations in non-visual conditions
• Allow controllers to delegate “maintain separation” function to aircraft
• Independent operations to converging and closely-spaced parallel runways
• System-wide availability at all “air portals”
Weather Information in ATM System
• Stable fusion of weather observations and forecasts from multiple sensors and prediction models into one national database
• Dynamic updating and support for all push/pull operations
• Seamless assimilation of weather information in ATM system “decision loops”
