Explain how the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) will help air traffic controllers better manage airspace and aircraft separation.
a) NextGen will implement advanced satellite-based navigation systems, allowing for more precise aircraft tracking and routing.
b) NextGen will deploy automated conflict detection and resolution tools to assist air traffic controllers in identifying and resolving potential airspace conflicts.
c) NextGen will integrate real-time weather data and predictive analytics to help air traffic controllers anticipate and mitigate weather-related disruptions to air traffic flow.
d) NextGen will introduce collaborative decision-making platforms, enabling coordination between air traffic controllers, pilots, and other stakeholders to optimize airspace utilization and aircraft separation.
