The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) is an evolutionary upgrade of our national airspace system to satellite-based and state-of-the-art technologies, along with new procedures that combine to make air travel more predictable, efficient and environmentally friendly. The U.S. aviation system is the busiest and safest in the world, and serves as a driver for the national economy and within local communities. NextGen provides the foundation to keep pace with a growing demand for air travel, more complex airspace use (including unmanned aircraft and commercial space launches), and the need to reduce noise and emissions. Initial NextGen implementation is already reaping benefits in and around major airports but the looming fiscal constraints will impact planned investments.

In the words of President Obama, "Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation...is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you're flying high at first, but it won't take long before you feel the impact." With this perspective in mind, the panel will discuss how we achieve the important goal of transforming our national airspace system in today's budget environment.

Featuring:

Steve Dickson, Senior Vice President, Flight Operations, Delta Air Lines
Gisele M. Mohler, Director, NextGen Performance and Outreach, Federal Aviation Administration
Sandra Samuel, Vice President of Transportation Solutions, Lockheed Martin Corporation
Heidi Williams, Vice President Air Traffic Services and Modernization, AOPA
Holly E. Woodruff Lyons, Republican Staff Director and Senior Counsel, House Subcommittee on Aviation (Invited)

Moderated by: Lillian Ryals, Sr. Vice President and General Manager, The MITRE Corporation Center for Advanced Aviation System Development

The criticality of cyber security in the federal space continues to grow both from a national security and also economic perspective. The significant rise in the number and diversity of threats and attacks - whether failed or successful - is making this one of the top issues in national security today. The operational impacts have evolved significantly for both the battlefield and for Wall Street. Implications of both defensive and now offensive activities will challenge and strain the military and the civilian work force. Cyber Security is driving an direct increase in requirements for skilled contractor and government staff with resulting training and hiring demands. Success for Cyber Security requires an industry and government shared partnership in a team approach and also includes academia and our international parties. The purpose of this panel is to articulate some of the critical discussion areas around today's Cyber Security domain, determine likely operational impacts, and consider the most effective approach going forward. Considering this topic from both a military and civilian perspective - and especially concentrating on the differences between them - will be a major aspect of this discussion.
