NASA ANNOUNCES CALIFORNIA AERONAUTICS RESEARCH AWARDS
NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, Airspace Systems
Program, Washington, has announced the following aeronautics research
awards to California academic institutions:
University of California-Berkeley
Proposal Title: A Unified Approach to Strategic Models and Performance
Evaluation For Traffic Flow Management.
Approximate Amount: $331,000
Stanford University, Stanford
Proposal Title: Integrating Collision Avoidance and Tactical Air Traffic
Control Tools.
Approximate Amount: $507,000
University Of California-Santa Cruz, Moffett Field
Proposal Title: Concepts and Algorithms for Automated Separation
Assurance.
Approximate Amount: $189,000
California State University at San Jose, San Jose
Proposal Title: Computational Models of Human Workload: Definition, Refinement,
Integration, and Validation in Fast Time National Airspace Simulations.
Approximate Amount: $417,000
California State University at Long Beach, Long Beach
Proposal Title: Metrics for Operator Situation Awareness, Workload and
Performance in Automated Separation Assurance Systems.
Approximate Amount: $750,000
The awards are designed to foster close collaboration with and to
facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among researchers at
NASA, industry, academia, and other government agencies to benefit the
nation's aeronautics community.
The Airspace Systems Program conducts cutting-edge research that will
enable the Next Generation Air Transportation System. In partnership
with the Joint Planning and Development Office, the program will help
develop the concepts, capabilities and technologies that will lead to
the significant enhancements in capacity, efficiency and flexibility
needed to meet the nation's airspace and airportal requirements for
decades to come.
