Abstract	The Newark Demonstration Project, the Teterboro Demonstration Project, and the Vertical Flight Demonstration project represent a complex and integrated effort to expand the use and benefits of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology and services. These projects are underway as a major collaboration of the FAA’s GNSS Operational Implementation Team (OIT) and government industry partnerships. GNSS is the international term for a worldwide satellite-based navigation system. The Global Positioning System (GPS), the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), and the Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) are U.S.-provided components of this system. The strategic objective of these projects is to demonstrate the operational capabilities and significant benefits of LAAS and WAAS in a complex airspace environment along with the ability to provide airport airspace separation in a highly congested area. The lessons learned from these demonstration projects can be applied to similar airspace environments around the U.S. National Airspace. The mission of the Newark Demonstration Project is to conduct an operational demonstration using satellite navigation technology and the operational capabilities of LAAS in a complex airspace environment to achieve efficiency, safety and capacity enhancements. The goal is to support aircraft and airspace separation in a highly congested area with a single LAAS unit installed at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to serve all runway ends. This project is designed to offer an air traffic control tool that can provide flexibility, adaptability, reliability, and environmental benefits.
