Aerospace Commission Commissioners

Recommendation #2: The Commission recommends transformation of the U.S. air transportation system as a national priority. The transformation requires:

• Rapid deployment of a new, highly automated Air Traffic Management system, beyond the Federal Aviation Administration’s Operational Evolution Plan, so robust that it will efficiently, safely, and securely accommodate an evolving variety and growing number of aerospace vehicles and civil and military operations;

• Accelerated introduction of new aerospace systems by shifting from product to process certification and providing implementation support; and

• Streamlined new airport and runway development.

Air Transportation Exploit Aviation’s Mobility Advantage

• Fast, efficient mobility improves our economy, quality of life, and national defense

• Our current air transportation system is not adequate to meet future needs or open new opportunities for the future

• Transforming the nation’s air transportation system needs to be a national priority

Objective Delivering People and Goods Quickly and Affordably -

When and Where Needed

A new highly automated air traffic management system operating with precision weather, traffic, terrain, navigation,

and shared information


U.S. Air Traffic Management Infrastructure – vulnerable and not scalable

• Deploy a new, highly automated air traffic management system

• Develop an integrated government plan to transform system

Certification Process, Procedural Regulation and Airborne Equipage – innovation needed

• Shift to process certification • Solve airborne equipage problem

New Runway and Airport Development – takes too long

• Expedite new runway and airport development as a national priority

What is ASA

• ASA is a bi-‐parCsan organizaCon of state Lt. Governors and other top-‐ranking state leaders.

• ASA represents states’ interests in federal aerospace and aviaCon policy development.

• ASA advocates on behalf of states for: – R&D funding, – workforce training, – economic development in aerospace and aviaCon, – excellence in math and science educaCon in every state, and – keeping states compeCCve in a global marketplace.
