ARMD NRA AWARDS: AVIATION SAFETY PROGRAM
Integrated Intelligent Flight Deck Project
The Integrated Intelligent Flight Deck (IIFD) Project will pursue flight deck related concepts and technologies that will ensure the human contribution to safety in the future operational environment as envisioned within NextGen. The scope of IIFD includes the following: development of crew/vehicle interface technologies better inform the pilot in an increasingly information-rich operating environment; development of fail-safe methods for changing the operator/automation roles in response to context; and development of a comprehensive surveillance system design that enables robust detection of external hazards with sufficient time-to-alarm for safe maneuvering to avoid the hazards. The products of the IIFD Project should enable system designers to eliminate the safety risk of unintended consequences when introducing new and advanced systems into an operational environment. Because of the potential broad applications for the IIFD products to include commercial, military, and space vehicles, ARMD will be working with the FAA, DOD, and the NASA space directorates to develop these technologies.
