FAA - Roadmap to the FutureJune, 2006
Navigation Assumptions• The FAA requires an aggressive transition to space-based service.
– Decisions needing to be made with the aviation community.• share burden with operators through equipage mandates• transfer costs to airports through statutory changes
• FAA will provide NAS-wide space-based service:– RNAV/RNP (GNSS – including augmentation systems)– Baseline approach service is Cat I or equivalent
• Policy determination on what is adequate backup– FAA will provide NAS-wide backup for RNAV/RNP– FAA will provide Cat I ILS as backup at OEP airports (~55 airports)– End State - Most Cat I ILS & all Cat II/III ILS will be divested (transferred or
decommissioned)• Fleet Equipage
– Today = Mixed Fleet – GNSS, D/D and D/D/I– Future = Fleet equipped with GNSS
• Decision/specification of “Backup/Redundant” systems• GPS dual-frequency (L5) service crucial

• Consolidate 200+ radar and some tower facilities into 15 GSDFs
• Keep ATCTs running until virtual ATCTs are viable (require a timeframe to modify this assumption).
• No new TRACONs will be built after 2012.• No new contract ATCTs will be built
after 2012.
