Award Description: TAS::80 0125::TAS RECOVERY - THIS ACTION IS FUNDED THROUGH THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009. TASK 093-R.1 IS A FACULTY AND STUDENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORT THAT IS ALIGNED TO THE CORE WORK OF TASK 093-R. THIS WORK IS PART OF THE ALIGNED RESEARCH PROGRAM (ARP) UNDER THE CONTRACT. TASK 093-R IS A RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORT SPONSORED BY NASA+S AERONAUTICS RESEARCH MISSION DIRECTORATE AND THE AIRSPACE SYSTEMS PROGRAM. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DEVELOP, TEST AND ANALYZE A PROTOTYPE VERSION OF CTAS THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO UTILIZE AN AIRCRAFT DATABASE MODEL WHICH MAY PROVIDE GREATER FIDELITY THAN THE EXISTING AIRCRAFT DATABASE MODEL. WITH GOVERNMENT APPROVAL, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL IMPLEMENT ELEMENTS OF THE MODEL THAT IMPROVE OVERALL CTAS PERFORMANCE. THIS TASK REQUIRES THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INTERFACE TO THE BADA AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE MODEL DATABASE WITHIN THE CTAS TRAJECTORY SYNTHESIZER (TS). THE INTERFACE WOULD CONSIST NOT ONLY OF THE ACTUAL DATA BUT ALSO THE EQUATIONS OF MOTION. |

Award Description: TAS::80 0125::TAS THIS TASK SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AUTOMATION TO ENABLE FUEL-EFFICIENT ARRIVAL OPERATIONS DURING ALL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, PARTICULARLY DURING BUSY AIR TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WHERE DEMAND EXCEEDS AVAILABLE AIRSPACE OR AIRPORT CAPACITY. THE OPERATIONS ENABLED BY THE EFFICIENT DESCENT ADVISOR (EDA) ARE CHARACTERIZED BY CONTINUOUS AIRCRAFT DESCENTS AT LOW ENGINE POWER. FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS TO EDA ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO REDUCE CONTROLLER AND PILOT WORKLOAD BY MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS REQUIRED IN THE ARRIVAL DOMAIN. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS BEING DEVELOPED AS A KEY CAPABILITY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION AIR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (NEXTGEN). EDA IS AN EXISTING SOFTWARE-BASED, DECISION-SUPPORT TOOL INTENDED FOR USE BY CONTROLLERS WORKING IN FAA EN ROUTE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL FACILITIES. EDA GENERATES SPEED, ALTITUDE AND ROUTE ADVISORIES TO ALLOW AIRPLANES TO FLY ARRIVAL TRAJECTORIES THAT MINIMIZE FUEL BURN AND ENVIRONMENTAL EMISSIONS, WHILE KEEPING THEM SAFELY SEPARATED FROM OTHER TRAFFIC AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS. UNDER THIS TASK, THE EXISTING EDA SOFTWARE WILL BE EXPANDED TO INCORPORATE A CONCEPT CALLED 3D-PATH ARRIVAL MANAGEMENT (OR 3D-PAM).
