Future airspace operations?• Scalable – increasingly autonomous• Cooperative – information needs, and technologies for
cooperation among vehicles, and operators, and service providers
• Digital – data exchanges and standardized application protocols
• Resilient – technologies and procedures for faster recovery from disruptions
• Manage by exception – flexibility where possible and structure where necessary
• Safety assurance – in-time data, prognostics, V&V of increasingly autonomous systems
• Air/ground/cloud integrated• Service oriented architecture – third party
airspace operations enabling beyond possible!

Workshop Structure • Collaborative Innovation • Four project overviews followed by program overview• Lunch time – Sign up for tours on Thursday (limited availability)• 11 Breakout sessions – 2-3 simultaneous
• Individual input – areas of collaboration – moderators will collect cards (all breakouts)• Report out sessions • Happy hour –Wednesday evening in building 3• Demonstrations and tours (Th)• One-on-one meetings with program, project, and other researchers (Th)• Collaboration – among each other and with NASA to maximize impact• Be vocal – we want to hear community needs so that research products are most relevant

Story of Airspace Operations and Safety Program motivation,Inter-center NASA cooperation,
Air-ground integration and roles distribution,Guarantees scalable, safe and efficient operation,
ATD, ATMx, SWS, and UTM execution,Some focus on airspace and airport optimization,Some focus on flight validation and simulation,Some focus on communication,Some focus on aircraft certification,That’s NASA’s inspiration,
Strategic relation with Federal Aviation Administration,It’s all about collaborative innovation,
To enable efficient and safe airspace operation,We must move towards higher levels of automation,By government, academia, and industry collaboration,
Let’s think beyond imagination, and assure all airspace users’ inclusion,Exploration, simulation, validation, integration, certification, collaboration, implementation will
lead to airspace transformation!
