<strong>CSC</strong>’s Air Traffic Management Center of Excellence supports the worldwide aviation community with air traffic<br />

management (ATM) solutions that range from the research of new concepts and decision support tools to the development,<br />

deployment and operation of ATM systems. With more than 30 years of experience in ATM, <strong>CSC</strong>’s unique capabilities span<br />

areas such as air traffic flow optimization, regional metering, air-ground data link and tactical air traffic control for all<br />

phases of flight. The Center’s labs in New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts and California demonstrate <strong>CSC</strong>’s capabilities not<br />

only as a product-independent ATM systems integrator but also as a systems and applications developer.<br />

The Center is active in both developing enhancements to today’s ATM system and exploring new operational concepts for<br />

future ATM. ATM encompasses the broad range of systems that interact with air traffic control, including traffic flow<br />

management systems, airline operations systems and techniques, and aircraft systems. The Center specializes in applying the<br />

latest information technologies to ATM. This includes business rules, system-wide data and metadata approaches, and <strong>CSC</strong>’s<br />

e4 SM methodology for developing new decision support tools and integrating them with legacy ATM systems.<br />

Activities at the Center include research, design, development, and deployment of<br />

new computer systems for:<br />

• Air traffic flow management<br />

• Near-real-time operations and control of air traffic using ground-based and aircraft-based technologies<br />

• Strategic planning (several hours in advance) for near-real-time operations<br />

• Analysis and modeling of potential future operational concepts and future decision support tools<br />

• <strong>Security</strong> enhancement of the air transportation system<br />

• Modeling of predicted future air transportation loads and potential benefits from new operations concepts and new<br />

decision support tools<br />

• Enhanced human-computer interfaces<br />

• Simulation, testing and data analysis of decision support tools<br />

Resources<br />

The Center is an active participant in NASA research efforts, developing new concepts and prototypes for<br />

ATM systems of the future. Products developed by <strong>CSC</strong> under this research model are being prototyped and<br />

used in ATM operations.<br />

Center employees are active participants in the Air Traffic Control Association and regularly provide papers<br />

and conference briefings at the annual ATCA Conference. Center specialists also actively participate in RTCA,<br />

the industry-wide standards organization for ATM. Many Center specialists are former professors or<br />

currently serve as adjunct professors at colleges and universities.<br />
