When considered from a global perspective, the problems of developing solutions for anticipated increases in air traffic volume are not confined to NextGen. This year's ATCA/
FAA/NASA Technical Symposium will focus on major air navigation services providers' plans for their future air transportation systems. As industry thought leaders, ATCA intends to continue to make its annual Symposium the premier technical conference for industry professionals. The event will be held May 5-7, at the Resorts Hotel & Casino, Atlantic City, NJ. The symposium will offer a global overview of the key elements of transformation. It will explore research issues related to infrastructure, aircraft and flight vehicles, airports, the environment, and airspace technologies being developed to address system evolution, the workforce of the future, and the challenges of verification and validation of the National Airspace System.
