In response to federal budgeting and reporting requirements, the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) has developed a Portfolio Analysis package that includes the costs, benefits, and risks of an “initial alternative” for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), and the tradespace of portfolio alternatives for NextGen by 2025. The package was developed to inform business strategies and investment planning, provide an overview of NextGen metrics and goals, and provide decision makers with a complete portfolio analysis that shows the impact of an integrated NextGen in the long term. The Portfolio Analysis includes benefits, methodology, and results (based on modeling and simulation) of a future National Airspace System; development of strategic, operational, and financial performance metrics; estimations of lifecycle costs; analysis of environmental impacts; an initial risk analysis; and development of NextGen alternatives and their cost implications.
The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Integrated Work Plan (IWP) Fiscal Year 2013 Draft Release. Click this link to access the IWP FY13 Draft.
The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Integrated Work Plan (IWP) describes a transitional pathway from the present to NextGen. Accordingly, the IWP intends to be a master planning document that depicts the collaborative stakeholder efforts that are needed to implement the NextGen vision. It is important to note that the IWP describes numerous paths to realize the expected outcomes but not the specific program steps, resources or implementation activities such as facility rollout, training, or decommissioning of systems.
The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Enterprise Architecture (EA) represents a management tool for developing, documenting, and communicating the various near-, mid-, and far-term NextGen capabilities to achieve the concepts described in the Concept of Operations (ConOps). The NextGen EA is intended to provide consistency in defining the future operational and system environment and a common reference for NextGen stakeholders to leverage as they coordinate their respective architectures, investments, and implementation plans.
The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Concept of Operations (ConOps) provides an overall, integrated view of NextGen operations in the "end-state". The ConOps describes in prose form how the nine capabilities are envisioned to provide an integrated operational “curb-to-curb” vision of how NextGen will operate by 2025. It represents the transformations necessary to achieve the overall goals of NextGen.
The Joint Planning Framework (JPF) represents an evolution in the structure and analytical approach used by the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) to guide the development and application of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) ConOps, EA and IWP. It supports the identification of concept-driven capability needs, the evaluation of functional gaps and opportunities for collaboration, or the analysis of alternatives to inform stakeholder decision making and solution implementation. The JPF provides the framework to hierarchically relate and organize the content contained throughout the NextGen-related documentation.
JPE Reports provide additional methods for analyzing the data contained in the system. Many reports can be filtered, sorted, and exported for offline viewing. Example report types include visual timetables for elements contained in the IWP, relationship mapping reports, and reports that aggregate data by agency, capability, and planning year.
EA Changes from version FY12 to FY12 R1
The changes in this revision of the NextGen Enterprise Architecture are a result of the validation process that takes place in reviewing the JPDO's weather and surveillance operational scenarios. Since the October 2009 FY12 release additional information exchanges, information exchange relationships, system entities and operational activities were added. IWP Changes from version FY12 to FY12 R1
The majority of the changes included in this revision of the IWP are a result of the JPDO’s continued efforts to gain agency validation of the IWP elements. Since the release of the IWP FY12, additional enablers, policy issues, and research activities have gained agency acceptance, confirming the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) role. Other minor revisions include description updates to weather elements, policy issues, and enablers. Additionally, some elements have been deleted.

Quick Video Tutorial For Using the JPE Effectively!
Welcome to the JPDO NextGen Joint Planning Environment (JPE)
The JPDO NextGen Joint Planning Environment (JPE) is a web-accessible application which serves as a foundation for collaboration, alignment, analysis and integration of NextGen related activities among the JPDO's partners and NextGen stakeholders. This application allows the JPDO to communicate NextGen planning information in a clear and concise way to partner agencies and stakeholders more quickly, with additional features not possible via paper based publications.
IWP FY12R1 Commenting Closed (July 02, 2010)
In preparation for this year’s release of the Integrated Work Plan the commenting capability on version FY12R1 of the IWP has been closed. Commenting capability will resume when IWP Version FY13 has been released at the end of September.
