FAA's NextGen
FAA's NextGen is a modernization initiative that improves the efficiency, safety, and reliability of the air traffic control system. It replaces traditional radar and voice-based communication with advanced technologies like satellite-based navigation and digital data sharing. This allows for more precise tracking of aircraft, optimized flight routes, reduced delays, and increased capacity. NextGen also enhances safety through better situational awareness and communication between pilots and controllers. Overall, it makes air travel smoother, more predictable, and better equipped to handle growing air traffic demands.
