The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has embarked on a major effort to revitalize its Research, Engineering, and Development (RE&D) program. It is committed to providing a renewed focus and direction for RE&D, with the following objectives: Enhance the capability of the FAA and aviation community to meet future challenges. Strengthen partnerships with international organizations, other government agencies, industry, and academia to better understand and respond to future needs and opportunities. Provide for full compliance with legislative direction, including the Aviation Safety Research Act of 1988. Establish a careful balance between support for the National Airspace System (NAS) Facilities and Equipment (F&E) Plan, Impact 88 objectives, and the agency's other high-priority programs. Meet the short-term needs of the air transportation system as well as plan for tomorrow.
