As the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) evolves,
researchers must address the national challenges of mobility, capacity,
safety, security, energy and the environment in order to meet the
expected growth in air traffic.
The Integrated Systems Research Program (ISRP) focuses on maturing and
integrating NextGen technologies into major vehicle/operational systems
and subsystems that will address these national challenges.
Using a system-level approach, NASA researchers explore, assess and
demonstrate the benefits of those technologies in an operationally
relevant environment.
By focusing on technologies that have already proven their merit at the
fundamental research level, ISRP will help transition them more quickly
to the aviation community, as well as inform future fundamental research
needs. The program will focus on integrated system-level research of
interest and importance to the aviation stakeholder community.
The program synchronizes its work with the long-term, foundational
research conducted by other programs within the directorate, and closely
coordinates with research efforts of other federal government agencies.
ISRP organizes its research under two projects. The Environmentally
Responsible Aviation Project focuses on selecting vehicle concepts and
technologies that can simultaneously reduce aircraft fuel burn, noise
and emissions. The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integration in the
National Airspace System (NAS) Project contributes capabilities that
reduce the technical barriers related to the safety and operational
challenges associated with enabling routine UAS to the NAS.
