One of MITRE’s newest video productions, “Advancing NextGen: MITRE-FAA Partnership at Work,” demonstrates the new capabilities that CAASD is developing to transform the national airspace to meet the future demands of air travel. CAASD works hand-in-hand with the Federal Aviation Administration to create the Next Generation Air Transportation System known as NextGen. The vital components of NextGen include:

• Area Navigation and Required Navigation Performance.
• Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast or ADS-B.
• Air-Ground Data Communications.
• Air Traffic Management Systems.

Using these emerging technologies, MITRE continues to work closely with the aviation community to create safer, more efficient air transportation.
