Public award description

NASAS NEXTGEN AIRPORTAL PROJECT WAS FORMED TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOP TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCEDURES THAT SAFELY INCREASE THE AIRSPACE SYSTEMS CAPACITY AND EFFICIENCY IN THE AIRPORT AND TERMINAL AIRSPACE DOMAINS. CAPACITY ENHANCING CAPABILITIES ENABLED BY THE PROJECTS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, INTEGRATED APPROACHES FOR ENHANCED RUNWAY BALANCING, SURFACE OPTIMIZATION, AIRPORT SURFACE MANAGEMENT, ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE MANAGEMENT AND SEQUENCING AIRCRAFT INTO THE OVERHEAD STREAM FROM MULTIPLE AIRPORTS WITHIN A METROPLEX. SURFACE OPERATIONS FROM THE GATE TO DEPARTURE, DEPARTURE MANAGEMENT, AND SEQUENCING AIRCRAFT INTO THE OVERHEAD STREAM MAY BE UNDER REPRESENTED IN THE CURRENT NEXTGEN AIRPORTAL PROJECT RESEARCH PORTFOLIO. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE WORK DESCRIBED HEREIN IS TO FURTHER EXPLORE THIS SEGMENT OF METROPLEX SYSTEMS AND TO RE-EXAMINE THE PROJECT S 10 AND 20 YEAR RESEARCH ROADMAPS.
