Raytheon-Led Team Wins NASA Award for NextGen Research

Simulations Evaluate Possible Aircraft Movements

NASA has selected a team led by Raytheon Company to develop enhancements to the system-wide modeling and simulation capability in the Airspace Concepts Evaluation System, or ACES.

The plug and play models will help NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration and other researchers better understand the tools and concepts needed to support the impacts of NextGen on the National Airspace System. Simulations will increase efficiency by evaluating and analyzing new concepts for future air traffic management operations.

"Raytheon innovation is propelling industry efforts to deliver the NextGen solutions that modernize and transform the National Air Space," said Andy Zogg, vice president of Raytheon Network Centric Systems Command and Control Systems. "Our partnership with NASA will lead to transformational results that accelerate the benefits of increased safety and maximized airspace capacity."

ACES is NASA's real-time computer simulation tool that analyzes local, regional and nationwide factors that contribute to the dynamics of aircraft operations from gate departures and flight paths to landings and gate arrivals. The result is a flexible environment for researchers to identify and test new NextGen air traffic management concepts.

The total contract value of this competitively bid, cost-plus-fixed-fee award is $29.1 million.
