The document provides a descriptive overview of the FAA's engineering and development programs, indicating long-term directions and highlighting progress during FY 1973 and expected achievements during FY 1974. Most of the programs are directly related to obtaining improved air traffic control systems and subsystems. The programs include such diverse projects as the use of satellites for air traffic control oceanic communications, improved concrete for runways, and the Quiet Short-haul Air Transportation System (QSATS). Technology areas addressed in the program include radar, navigation, communications, automatic data processing, weather prediction and data processing, anti-hijacking devices, aircraft safety, and noise abatement.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently undertaking a broad program known as Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) to develop, introduce, and certify new technologies into the National Airspace System. NextGen is a fundamentally transformative change that is being implemented incrementally over a period of many years. Currently, the FAA is putting into place the foundation that provides support for the future building blocks of a fully operational NextGen. NextGen is a challenging undertaking that includes ground systems, avionics installed in a wide range of aircraft, and procedures to take advantage of the new technology. Transformation in the Air assesses the FAA's plan for research on methods and procedures to improve both confidence in and the timeliness of certification of new technologies for their introduction into the National Airspace System. This report makes recommendations to include both ground and air elements and document the plan's relationship to the other activities and procedures required for certification and implementation into the National Airspace System.
