Abstract	Congress directed 7 departments and agencies to ensure that the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS) meets safety, security, mobility, efficiency and capacity needs well into the future. Congress also directed the departments and agencies form a Senior Policy Committee to direct this effort. In response, this committee has established a Joint Program Development Office (JPDO). In December 2004, the JPDO published an “Integrated Plan for the Next Generation Air Transportation System” that contains 8 transformation strategies. One of these strategies is to “Establish an Agile Air Traffic System” that accommodates future requirements, technologies and improvements; is readily responsive to shifts in demand and supports the wide range and number of operations tailored to customer needs. To meet these goals, a number of major NGATS characteristics have been identified that require an accurate 4 dimensional model of aircraft trajectory. Independent of the JPDO, the FAA, NASA, Eurocontrol and the Civil Aviation Authority of France are working jointly to define a common methodology for the validation and improvement of trajectory prediction capabilities.
