The Airspace Systems Program (ASP) is responding to our nation's urgent
need to transform its air transportation system. The transformation
includes both the operational management of our National Airspace System
(NAS), as well as the types of aircraft that fly within the NAS. The
primary research role for ASP is the operational aspects of the airspace
system, while the Fundamental Aeronautics Program and Aviation Safety
Program will make contributions primarily to the vehicles and vehicle
safety.
ASP will be responsible for developing concepts, capabilities, and
technologies for high-capacity, efficient, and safe airspace and
airportal systems. This work is to enable transformation to the Next
Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS), as defined by the Joint
Planning and Development Office (JPDO). NGATS is a multi-agency vision
and plan to meet serious challenges facing the U.S. air transportation
system, and projected to operate by the year 2025.
