Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2): Integrated Arrival/Departure/Surface (IADS) System Demonstration - Technology Transfer Document Summary (ReadMe) (Version 2.5 - Initial Phase 3 Metroplex IADS)

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 operational efficiency of the air traffic system in metroplex environments while maintaining or improving throughput by enhancing and integrating 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 industry stakeholders. This summary document and accompanying artifacts satisfy the next delivery of research transition products (RTPs) defined in the IADS research transition team (RTT) plan. With the ATD-2 project extended for another year, this Tech Transfer 2.5 constitutes an interim delivery of artifacts from the Phase 3 field demonstration. The final Phase 3 tech transfer delivery is planned for August 2021.
