Background:
The mission of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is to provide the safest, most
efficient aerospace system in the world. A major initiative in support of this mission is
NextGen – the Next Generation Air Transportation System. NextGen is a transformation
of the National Airspace System (NAS) using 21st century technologies to ensure that
future safety, capacity and environmental needs are met.
The NAS Voice System (NVS) is one of five transformational NextGen programs. The
NVS program will allow the FAA’s air traffic control to achieve a network-based
infrastructure. NVS will support a more flexible voice communications system that
includes dynamic re-sectorization, resource reallocation, and airspace redesign. The
NVS program will replace current voice switches and radio control equipment with new
equipment capable of operating in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) mode.
Purpose:
In this RFI, the FAA is seeking industry comments and insights to the EUROCAE
WG-67 documents noted above as they relate to FAA-centric voice communication
requirements. RFI responders should consider the following questions:
