Supplementary Information
The FAA Office of System Architecture and Program Evaluation invites public comment on the National Airspace System (NAS) Architecture. The NAS Architecture is a comprehensive plan for modernizing the NAS well into the 21st century through effective and efficient use of equipment, software, services, facilities, procedures, and resources. Version 2.0 represents a proposed NAS Architecture through the year 2015. This proposed NAS Architecture is being coordinated within the FAA and with the entire aviation community with the goal of establishing a baseline NAS Architecture (Version 3.0) in 1997. In developing Version 2.0, the NAS architects faced the challenge of accommodating the forecasted increase in airspace usage while addressing the issues of an aging NAS infrastructure and shrinking Federal budgets. Version 2.0 strives to balance users' needs and the realities of technology and funding availability. This Architecture incorporates comments to the prior release (Version 1.5, issued in February 1996). For more information on Version 2.0, please visit the NAS Architecture Home Page (asd.orlab.faa.gov) or write to the Federal Aviation Administration, Office of System Architecture and Program Evaluation, ATTN: ASD-1, requesting the Version 2.0 document. A comment form is included in the Version 2.0 document. Feedback is encouraged. While the FAA cannot guarantee a response to each and every comment received, each comment that is received by December 16, 1996, will be considered in developing the next version of the NAS Architecture.
