Over the past five years, NASA’s Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) project, which ends Thursday, Sept. 30, has demonstrated numerous benefits using new Integrated Arrival, Departure, and Surface (IADS) technology at both the Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The agency has transferred technology and knowledge from these demonstrations to the FAA for nationwide implementation. The ATD-2 IADS system improves the predictability and efficiency of surface operations at the nation’s busiest airports through time-based metering of departures, tools for scheduling departures into busy overhead traffic flows, and improved sharing of flight operations information among various airport stakeholders.
