Abstract	A number of significant events have occurred in the last several months – 10 Year Controller Staffing Plan announced, Domestic Reduced Vertical Separation implemented, contract to operate Flight Service Stations awarded, the FAA’s FY06 system acquisition budget reduced 3% from FY-05, and the Next Generation Air Transportation System Integrated Plan delivered to Congress. Vision 100 – Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (PL 108-176) directed that an integrated plan be developed to “… ensure that the Next Generation Air Transportation System meets air transportation safety, security, mobility, efficiency and capacity needs beyond those currently included in the FAA’s Operational Evolution Plan.” As a result of this Act, a Senior Interagency Policy Committee was formed and a Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) was established. (The director of this office is also the FAA’s Air Traffic Organization’s Vice President for Operations Planning.) The JPDO is a small and focused office, independent from the FAA, which works in close collaboration with experts in government and the private sector. The JPDO and these experts developed the Next Generation Air Transportation Integrated Plan. The plan contains 8 Integrated Strategies and corresponding areas of research. Some of the research areas of interest to our committee include: service/function allocation between ground/air, requirements determination and candidate architectures, capacity improvements, UAV accommodation, data sharing and net-centric architecture. One area of net-centric research in the FAA is the use of an “Airborne Internet” as an enabling technology for a system-wide Collaborative Information Environment. This technology will permit the near real-time exchange of data among several users.
