May 3, 2017
On April 25, 2017, the NASA North Texas Research Station (NTX) team hosted executives from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), including the Executive Vice President of Operations, Vice President for Environmental Affairs, and Vice President of Operations. The visitors received an orientation to the NTX Research Station, and reviewed the data-sharing arrangement between DFW Airport and NASA, established through a non-reimbursable Space Act Agreement. The NTX team presented an overview of the Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) project including the concept, technologies, and plans for the Phase 1 Field Demonstration that will begin this fall at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (Charlotte, North Carolina). Phase 3 of the ATD-2 demonstration, scheduled to begin in September 2019, will include an evaluation of the ATD-2 system capabilities in the DFW metroplex environment. The DFW Airport leaders expressed their support for this ongoing collaboration. (POC: Paul Borchers)
