Abstract

This study describes and analyzes military and FAA liaison efforts which impact on the management of the National Aviation System. It begins with the historical development of the National Airspace System (NAS), The system is evolutionary in nature and most innovations have come from user demands and outside sources, Long term government responsibility to manage the system has been secondary to the operation and maintenance functions, There has been duplication of effort due to poor coordination on developing common goals, The military has been the leader in developing technology that led to improvement of the system.
