Sensis To Analyze NASA NextGen Airportal Concepts,
Technologies
NASA has selected Sensis Corporation for the NASA Research
Announcement (NRA) NextGen Airportal Project Technologies: System
Analysis, Integration and Evaluation (SAIE). Sensis will perform a
cost-benefit analysis of select NASA concepts and technologies
(C&Ts) for the airportal environment (defined as terminal
airspace down to the airport gate) and investigate the integration
of the concepts into the National Airspace System (NAS). The
program will provide NASA with a roadmap for the integration and
simulation of C&Ts that will affect the safety, efficiency and
capacity of airportal operations.
For this project, Sensis will first evaluate C&Ts by
identifying benefit-creation mechanisms and appropriate evaluation
metrics, perform evaluations using modeling and simulation tools
and estimate costs associated with implementing the C&Ts. The
C&Ts will be evaluated in terms of their potential benefit to
increase airportal capacity and efficiency. Once the evaluation is
complete, Sensis will identify critical work that is not currently
being done to enable the most promising C&Ts to quickly move
forward.
"This project draws on extensive Sensis experience in airportal
concept design and analysis to help NASA mature the most promising
NextGen concepts and technologies from research concepts into
fielded solutions in the NAS," said Ken Kaminski, vice president
and general manager of Sensis Air Traffic Systems. "These NextGen
concepts and technologies will enable future capacity, efficiency
and safety improvements in the airportal."
