Aviation Safety: Integrated Intelligent Flight Deck Technologies Banner


PARTNERSHIPS
The interior of a typical Airport Traffic Control Tower. The controllers here keep aircraft safely separated as they take off, land, and move along runways and taxiways. Nationwide, terminal air traffic controllers handle roughly 75,000 flights per day. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
IIFD collaborates with the FAA primarily in the area of database development and management. The Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) collects, analyzes, and responds to voluntarily submitted aviation safety incident reports. ASRS data are used to identify deficiencies and discrepancies in National Airspace System (NAS) operations so that remedies can be developed; to support policy formulation and planning for improvements to the NAS; and to support research such as that being done in IIFD.

Joint Planning Office Logo Joint Planning & Development Office (JPDO)
The Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) envisions a safe, efficient, and reliable air transportation system for 2025 that removes many of the constraints in our current system, supporting a wider range of operations, and thus delivering overall system capacity up to three times that of current operating levels. The concept requires that safety be approached in a prognostic fashion and promotes a new safety culture that exploits risk from a predictive perspective. IIFD collaborates with the JPDO’s Safety Integrated Product Team (IPT) to develop a National aviation safety strategic plan, to coordinate IPT activities with IIFD research, and to conduct analyses in support of the strategic planning.

IIFD collaborates with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to address common emergent safety problems, operational problems, and communications problems related to flight deck systems. As the NAS operations are becoming more complex and demanding, military missions are also becoming more complex and demanding. Each newly-developed system or function attempts to push more information at the pilot, perhaps eventually passing the point where the pilot can adapt positively. AFRL is pursuing many of the same objectives as IIFD; applying flight deck technologies to enable vastly improved human-machine interfaces and providing integrated technology solutions. Joint work to improve on-board sensing capabilities and crew interface technologies will increase operational safety, enable new operational capabilities, and allow more efficient use of both civil and military aircraft.
