The FAA's Research, Engineering and Development (R,E&D) Program is very forward looking, and concentrates on the known needs of the aviation system and it constituency. The FAA has published a vision of the future system which has been broadly accepted by the industry. The vision is rooted in the pursuit of a safe system that does not constrain flight. The system that results from this work will be more capable, efficient, and economical to operate. Increased automation will involve the controller, pilot, and maintenance technicians in different roles than today's system requires. Specific areas of this project which are discussed at length include the following: quality control; R,E&D goals; past lessons learned; planning for future aviation systems; R,E&D plan components; and system engineering.
