NASA ANNOUNCES VIRGINIA AERONAUTICS RESEARCH AWARD
NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, Airspace Systems
Program, Washington, has awarded approximately $352,000 to George Mason
University, Fairfax, Va., for work described in their NASA research
announcement proposal entitled “Analysis of Next Generation Air
Transportation System Sensitivity to Gaming."
The award is designed to foster close collaboration with and to
facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among researchers at
NASA, industry, academia, and other government agencies, in a manner
that benefits the nation’s aeronautics community.
The Airspace Systems Program conducts cutting-edge research that will
enable the Next Generation Air Transportation System. In partnership
with the Joint Planning and Development Office, the program will help
develop the concepts, capabilities and technologies that will lead to
the significant enhancements in capacity, efficiency and flexibility
needed to meet the nation’s airspace and airportal requirements for
decades to come.
