A contract has been awarded to Air Space Intelligence for cutting-edge technologies to improve flight scheduling and management.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Bryan Bedford announced that a contract has been awarded to Air Space Intelligence for cutting-edge technologies to improve flight scheduling and management in the National Airspace System.
“The Flow Management Data and Services (FMDS) will be the new technological backbone of the FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center. It balances air traffic demand with capacity and provides the data that underpins traffic management,” the Transportation Department explained.
“Every day, our air traffic professionals knowingly manage thousands of scheduling conflicts across the National Airspace System, which ultimately end up as delays for the traveling public,” said Administrator Bedford. “FMDS with the SMART capabilities will help us address that challenge by improving how we manage airspace before flights depart, reducing congestion, easing controller workload, and directly cutting down delays across the system.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Duffy as he oversees the updating and improvements of national transportation technology.
- For Administrator Bedford as he manages the FAA and facilitates the implementation of system upgrades and modernization.
