About Air Traffic Management and Safety (ATMS) Project

The Air Traffic Management and Safety (ATMS) project defines, validates, and transfers advanced requirements and technologies to shift air traffic management from tactical to strategic. This change enables efficient, productive, and resilient operations while reducing safety assurance and compliance costs for highly automated systems.

ATMS researches and develops technologies that safely integrate new air vehicles with traditional aviation operations to meet growing demand. Through close collaboration with the FAA, ATMS delivers actionable automation solutions, advanced operational concepts, and proactive safety management frameworks that accelerate airspace modernization.

The project strengthens system resilience and expands human capacity by reducing cognitive workload, minimizing airline delays, and lowering operating costs while enhancing terminal safety and optimizing operational performance. ATMS tackles barriers in the increasingly complex and diverse airspace by focusing its research on three areas.
