Research, Engineering and Development Advisory Committee (REDAC)
Established in 1989, the FAA's Research, Engineering and Development Advisory Committee (REDAC) provides advice and recommendations to the FAA Administrator on the needs, objectives, plans, approaches, content, and accomplishments of the aviation research portfolio. The REDAC also assists in ensuring FAA present and future aviation research activities are coordinated with similar research being conducted outside the FAA.

The REDAC considers aviation research needs in five areas:
- National Airspace System (NAS) Operations,
- Airport Technology,
- Aviation Safety,
- Human Factors,
- Environment and Energy.
REDAC membership is composed of a representative body of subject matter professionals from aviation, aerospace and related emerging technology focused corporations, universities, associations, consumers, and government agencies. The Director of the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center serves as the Agency's Research and Development Executive and communicates collaboratively with the Chair of REDAC to fulfill objectives in the review of the FAA research and development (R&D) portfolio.
REDAC meetings occur twice per year, in the fall and in the spring. During the fall session, the REDAC provides guidance and advice on how the FAA should invest its R&D resources for the fiscal year (FY) +3 R&D portfolio. During the spring meeting, the REDAC reviews proposals for the R&D portfolio and provides additional recommendations. During this review cycle, the FY+2 portfolio is addressed. The FAA tracks the implementation of these recommendations in the REDAC Database.

Public Law 100-591, dated November 3, 1988, established the REDAC to provide advice and recommendations to the Administrator regarding the needs, objectives, plans, approaches, content, and accomplishments of the aviation research program; and, also, to assist in assuring that such research is coordinated with similar research being conducted outside of the FAA. Public Law 101-508 dated November 5, 1990, expanded the REDAC's duties to review the research and training to be carried out by the regional centers of air transportation excellence. Public Law 104-264, dated October 6, 1996, added an annual review of the allocations made to the major categories of R&D to provide advice and recommendations to the Administrator on whether the allocations are appropriate to meet the needs and objectives of the aviation research program.
REDAC reports are approved at the Full Committee meetings. Reports are transmitted to the FAA Administrator by letter from the Committee Chair.
