NASA ANNOUNCES MASSACHUSETTS AERONAUTICS RESEARCH AWARDS
NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, Airspace Systems
Program, Washington, has released two awards to the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., for work described in their
NASA research announcement proposals:
"Cognitively Based Traffic Complexity Metrics for Future Next Generation
Air Transportation System Concepts of Operation"
Approximate Amount: $239,000
"Optimization of Super-Density Multi-Airport Terminal Area System in the
Presence of Uncertainty"
Approximate Amount: $450,000
These 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, in a manner
that benefits 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.
