6. Separation responsibility will remain shared between air traffic services and flight crews. In high density operations the airplane will provide a separation monitoring function. The report discusses the human factors issues that lie at the heart of most of the proposed system modernization initiatives, and makes recommendations regarding the nature and extent of the human factors involvement in the system evolution. A detailed overview of current and emerging communication, navigation and surveillance technologies is included in the report, along with an overview of aviation weather technology. The current lack of consensus in the industry on the details of the NAS modernization path are discussed in the report. The need for a disciplined systems engineering approach to the NAS evolution is detailed, with a particular focus on preliminary design activity that is essential to focus the effort on the critical mission needs. The report calls for a collaborative development and validation of the operational concept, and of the system architecture, to ensure consideration of total system performance and minimize political risk. iv
