Abstract

The Joint Planning and Development Office manages a unique public/private partnership in developing a sweeping vision that will guide the evolution of the National Air Space to meet the needs of the 21st century. This Next Generation Air Transportation System initiative will bring transformation to the U.S air transportation system by 2025. Satellite-based navigation is a key capability for transforming the NAS. This Satellite Navigation Backup Study was performed for the NGATS Institute to identify an appropriate set of “area navigation”satellite backup solutions for operation in the NextGen in 2015 2020, and 2025. The study includes a requirements analysis for a backup system, development of evaluation criteria, and a comparative cost assessment for each proposed backup solution supporting the overall evaluation of candidate solutions.
