This collaboration has recently led to a new Memorandum of Understanding between KARI and the Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC), signed on September 29, 2017, to develop and deploy KARI’s Airport Departure Management and Surface Management Capabilities at Incheon International Airport (IAC). KARI and IIAC will jointly develop system requirements and test plans, and KARI will develop software and algorithms. KARI will also conduct human-in-the-loop simulations prior to system installation which are scheduled to begin in early 2019. Shadow operations and field demonstrations will follow through 2020. Dr. Daekeun Jeon, Project Manager of the field demonstration project, congratulated and credited the NASA-KARI collaboration team on this MOU and wrote “…the field demonstration at IIAC would be a wonderful chance for us in that our technology can be applied to one of the best airports in the world. And also, there is no doubt that this chance was from the result of our research collaboration, so I would like to congratulate on this with you together.” (POC: Yoon Jung) + Back to Top
