The FAA manages and operates the National Airspace System (NAS), a significant national resource. However, the demands on this system are continuously growing, and changing technologies provide the opportunity to dramatically improve system effectiveness and efficiency. To this end, the FAA's Research, Engineering, and Development (RE&D) Program is an investment in the future that will sustain the United States' preeminence in aviation throughout the world. Without this investment, the United States leadership would erode. Thus, the importance of aviation to the Nation mandates a comprehensive RE&D program to ensure both the safety of public air transportation and the fulfillment of national priorities and policy goals. Various aspects of the RE&D Program plan are discussed.
