Extract

In May 1948 the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics, a cooperative association of United States government and industrial air telecommunication agencies, issued a report outlining a comprehensive scheme for the development of air traffic control facilities in U.S.A. for the next fifteen years. This report was prepared by a committee set up by the R.T.C.A., Special Committee 31, and it is generally known as the SC31 Report. It was the result of a study undertaken at the request of the Technical Division of the Air Coordinating Committee, an inter-departmental committee established by the Secretaries of State, War, Navy and Commerce, and directed by the President to examine aviation problems of mutual concern and to develop and recommend integrated policies and actions to be taken for their solution.
