The NASA Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) Industry Workshop was held September 4-5, 2019 in Dallas, Texas. The workshop objectives were to transfer the lessons learned from the field demonstration of NASA's ATD-2 technologies to National Airspace System (NAS) users, identify emerging needs for tools, services and platforms for the aviation market, provide a deeper understanding of the transformational potential of the future surface system, and enable industry operators to meet upcoming Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) requirements for their organizations while achieving benefits. Over 200 attendees participated in the workshop including representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Air Traffic Controller Association (NATCA), academia, airlines, airports and aviation industry solution providers. Three panel sessions focused on 1) capabilities the aviation community will need to be ready for TFDM, 2) communicating initial results from an ongoing field demonstration that is focused on the integration of surface and metroplex departures, and 3) providing an opportunity for formulation input into NASA’s future aviation research plans. NASA, along with other ATD-2 partners, presented over 20 hours of material in parallel tracks, on surface system capabilities, understanding and quantifying NAS performance and benefits, understanding TFDM from a multi-system decision support viewpoint, and the future vision and needs of the NAS. The ATD-2 Industry Workshop facilitated active engagement across various groups, and provided additional insights on any remaining tech transfer needs.
