  1. USAF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIC PLAN FOCUS 2000 AND BEYOND

  2. USAF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIC PLAN • OVERVIEW • Vision • Mission • Organization • People • Equipment • Goal Timelines

  3. USAF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIC PLAN VISION To remain the world leader in air traffic control services in support of the war-fighter. To continually improve our ability to lead United States Air Force aviation efforts into an effective Aerospace Force.

  4. USAF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIC PLAN • MISSION • Facilitate the launch and recovery of tactical and strategic aircraft supporting national objectives. • Differs from FAA • FAA strives to minimize risk • AF/DoD manages risk • Influenced by combat environment, technology, as well as national objectives

  5. USAF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIC PLAN • ORGANIZATION • Ensure we have the right number of combat ready air traffic controllers to support Air Force needs (2MTW, Expeditionary Aerospace Force, overseas fix base operations, pilot/controller training requirements) maintaining the flexibility to handle dynamic changes. • Must address: • CONUS/Overseas basing • Review base by base ATC requirement • Schoolhouse training requirements • MAJCOM/Air Staff staffing needs

  6. USAF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIC PLAN • ORGANIZATION • Train as we fight • 2MTW/AEF support • Required skills (Tower/RAPCON/GCA/RFC, etc) • What’s needed in a combat environment • Stateside basing • Prioritize allocation of assets • Requires Total Force perspective

  7. USAF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIC PLAN • PERSONNEL • Recruit - Train - Retain • Specialized training • Blue suit versus civilian • Evaluate return on investment of the air traffic controller from BMTS through retirement • Reengineer air traffic control training to reflect advances in simulation and learning technology

  8. USAF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIC PLAN • PERSONNEL • Tailor air traffic control retention programs with emphasis on what skills are necessary to support national objectives • Evolve air traffic control operations and training to compliment advances in technology (air traffic control evolving to air traffic management)

  9. USAF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIC PLAN • EQUIPMENT • Modernize fixed-based ATCALS to ensure ATC facilities can provide a level of service comparable to FAA and host nations; ensures locations are maintained to train controllers for contingency operations. • Modernize deployable ATCALS infrastructure to ensure an effective capability to support contingency operations. • Compatibility with fixed ATCALS a must (train as we fight) • Participate in research and development efforts to ensure war fighting requirements are addressed in all facets of air traffic control operations.
