Abstract :
Good Evening, I am Mike Harrison, the Chair of Sponsorships and Exhibits for the ICNS Conference. In my regular life, I am the National Airspace System Evangelist, promoting development of concepts, operational procedures and working with aviation companies to align their technologies with useful applications within the NAS. My presentation tonight is to provide insight into the creation of the NAS and its parallels with changes that need to be made in getting to NextGen, the Next Generation Air Transportation System.
