ATCA Blue Skies Initiative Roundtables at the Tech Symposium

ATCA Blue Skies Initiative Roundtables

Join us for three roundtable discussions to explore infrastructure, operations, and R&D in support of the future NAS. Registration is now open! You must be registered for the ATCA Tech Symposium to participate in the Roundtables, and you must register separately for each Roundtable.

ATM Infrastructure: Digital and Physical

Tuesday, May 18, 9 - 10:30 AM ET

The backbone of the aviation infrastructure is comprised of a network of safety critical, sensors, ground-based navigation facilities, communications towers, and networks. All of these elements work in concert to provide information to our air traffic controllers. This critical infrastructure is old and in dire need of replacement. READ MORE!

The Future ATM Operational Environment

Wednesday, May 19, 3:30 - 5 PM ET

The future NAS will enable seamless and agile operations for diverse users from surface to space. Operations that emerged seemingly "out of the blue" are poised to enter the NAS with recent rules taking effect for remotely identifying unmanned aerial systems (UAS), as well as enabling small drones to fly over people and at night.

New Approaches in R&D and V&V

Friday, May 21: 12:30 - 2 PM ET

Research and development (R&D) is supporting the burgeoning market of new aircraft and traffic management systems. More efficient flight routes and electric aircraft are making aviation more sustainable than ever before. To further realize these gains, however, we must focus our efforts on facilitating the transition from R&D to real-time operations. READ MORE!

Participate in the ATCA BSI Survey

ATTENTION AVIATION TECH COMMUNITY:

ATCA BSI is seeking Industry and government feedback to inform the BSI working group committee’s approach in the development of the national airspace system (NAS) Future-Ready Framework. Our latest engagement will inform decisions that prioritize investments in the areas of infrastructure, operations, and research and development (R&D) activities that will shape the NAS in a post-COVID-19 world. Participate in this short survey to have your inputs included in the Blue Skies ahead.

Session Spotlight

Charting Aviation's Future Fireside Chat

Tuesday, May 18, 11 AM ET

As 2025 draws closer, we have started to shift our focus on the mid- to long-term future of the National Aerospace System (NAS). The FAA and NASA are collaborating together and with industry and groups like the ATCA Blue Skies Initiative to ensure this next age of aviation continues to foster innovation, connectivity, and new workforce programs. Join RTCA President and CEO Terry McVenes as he sits down with Associate Administrator Bob Pearce, NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, and FAA Assistant Administrator for NextGen, Pamela Whitley. Bring your questions and be part of the conversation!
