Airspace Technology Demonstration 2(ATD-2)

Abstract

This ATD-2 presentation was prepared for the AOSP R&D Partnership Workshop held at Ames April 10-12, 2018. It covers a top-level view of the ATD-2 sub-project, the IADS system architecture, the IADS system capabilities, and potential partnership opportunities.

Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2): Integrated Arrival/Departure/Surface (IADS) System Demonstration, Technology Transfer Document Summary (ReadMe)

Airspace Technology Demonstration - 2 (ATD-2) is part of NASA's Airspace Technology Demonstrations (ATD) Project under its Airspace Operations and Safety Program (AOSP). ATD-2 is a multi-year research and development effort to improve the predictability and the operational efficiency of the air traffic system in metroplex environments, through the enhancement, development, and integration of the nation's most advanced and sophisticated arrival, departure, and surface prediction, scheduling, and management systems. In order to ensure that the products of this knowledge and technology transfer are relevant and useful, NASA has created strong partnerships with the FAA and key industry stakeholders. This summary document and accompanying artifacts satisfy the first of three Research Transition Products (RTPs) defined in the IADS Research Transition Team (RTT) Plan. This transfer consists of NASA's ATD-2 Phase 1 Baseline IADS System capabilities.

Flight Deck Implications for the Implementation of an Integrated Arrival, Departure, and Surface (IADS) Traffic Management System

NASA's Airspace Technical Demonstration-2 (ATD-2) Integrated Arrival, Departure, and Surface (IADS) traffic management system integrates strategic and tactical scheduling tools for traffic sequencing from the gate to the overhead stream and back again for multi-airport, metroplex environments. The system is expected to increase airport efficiency, predictability, and throughout while improving information sharing among all airport operators. A series of knowledge elicitation sessions were conducted with commercial airline pilots and general aviation pilots to characterize airport operations and procedures. This presentation describes ATD-2 IADS-enabled Information Sharing impacts on the Flight Deck, benefits of that Information Sharing, pilot procedural changes, our pilot engagement/outreach efforts, use of a Mobile App to faciliate information flow in GA operations, and future IADS efforts at other airports/metroplexes.
