The Next Generation Air Transportation System's (NextGen) goal is
the transformation of the U.S. national airspace system through
programs and initiatives that could make it possible to shorten
routes, navigate better around weather, save time and fuel,
reduce delays, and improve capabilities for monitoring and
managing of aircraft.

A Review of the Next Generation Air
Transportation provides an overview of NextGen and examines
the technical activities, including human-system design and
testing, organizational design, and other safety and human factor
aspects of the system, that will be necessary to successfully
transition current and planned modernization programs to the
future system. This report assesses technical, cost, and schedule
risk for the software development that will be necessary to
achieve the expected benefits from a highly automated air traffic
management system and the implications for ongoing modernization
projects. The recommendations of this report will help the
Federal Aviation Administration anticipate and respond to the
challenges of implementing NextGen.
