United States Army
In September 2007, NASA and the U.S. Army formalized a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) that expands the longstanding relationship between
the two organizations and focuses on research to enable revolutionary
capabilities in rotorcraft. The MOU covers rotorcraft aeronautics
including flight dynamics and control, vehicle structures, propulsion,
avionics, aeromechanics, safety and airspace management. The agreement
is designed to ensure the free exchange of research information, reduce
duplication and enhance long-term research planning for both
organizations.

United States Air Force
In August 2006, NASA and the U.S. Air Force signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) to formalize a new aeronautics research partnership.
The MOU ensures the free exchange of research information, reduces
duplication of research, and enhances long-term research planning on
advanced aircraft design, propulsion development, materials development,
and aviation safety.

Department of Defense
NASA and the Department of Defense have signed an agreement to develop
an integrated national strategy for managing their respective
aeronautical test facilities. The agreement expands the dialogue beyond
the test and evaluation communities to include industry, academia and
the science and technology interests from both agencies.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Under the terms of a 2006 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), NASA and
the FAA will pursue complementary goals in aviation and space
transportation. These goals include aviation and space transportation
safety, airspace system efficiency, environmental compatibility,
international leadership, and others.

White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)
NASA is a member of the Aeronautics Science & Technology Subcommittee of
the National Science & Technology Council's Committee on Technology. The
Subcommittee was responsible for developing the National Aeronautics R&D
Policy that was established by Executive Order in December 2006. The
Subcommittee has just completed developing the National Plan for
Aeronautics R&D and Related Infrastructure.

Joint Planning & Development Office (JPDO)
NASA is a member of the JPDO along with the Department of
Transportation, FAA, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland
Security, Department of Commerce, and the White House Office of Science
and Technology Policy (OSTP). The JPDO was established in 2003 to carry
out the mandate for the Next Generation Air Transportation System
(NextGen) initiative laid out in P.L.108-176 (VISION 100 - Century of
Aviation Reauthorization). The NextGen is expected to be more flexible,
resilient, scalable, adaptive and highly automated than today's air
transportation system.
