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.
