3D-PAM Team Receives Prestigious FAA Award
June 12, 2013

On June 10, 2013, the Three-Dimensional Path Arrival Management (3D-PAM) Team was presented with the 2012 FAA Excellence in Aviation Research Award in a ceremony at the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City. The Excellence in Aviation Research Award is presented each year to worthy individuals or institutions conducting research that supports the FAA's core goals to enhance safety, improves efficiency, increases capacity in the national airspace system, and continues to lay the groundwork for the Next-Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Only one individual and one team were so recognized this year. The team was cited for conceiving, developing, and transferring to the FAA new technology and procedures to expand the capacity of the NextGen air traffic management system while simultaneously reducing the environmental footprint of aviation. Developed in concert with the FAA, Boeing and airline partners, this technology is a key element of the multi-agency NextGen effort to transform U.S. aviation operations. (POC: Rich Coppenbarger)
