Established in 2010, the NAC is tasked with exploring solutions to NextGen challenges involving concepts, requirements, operational capabilities and technologies. The NAC examines these considerations in support of the FAA’s ongoing modernization of the nation’s air traffic management system. Bolen is a longtime member of the government-industry group.

The NAC currently provides input to the FAA and DOT on topics related to data communications, multiple runway operations, surface and data sharing, performance-based navigation and airspace optimization across the Northeast Corridor, among other areas.
