NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, Airspace Systems Program, has awarded approximately $497,000 to San Jose State University, Calif. The award covers work described in the university’s NASA research announcement proposal entitled, “Integrated Approaches for Surface Traffic Optimization in the Presence of Uncertainties.”

The award will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among researchers within NASA, industry, academia and other government agencies to benefit the nation’s aeronautics community.

The Airspace Systems Program conducts cutting-edge research to enable the Next Generation Air Transportation System. In partnership with the Joint Planning and Development Office, the program helps develop the concepts, capabilities and technologies that will lead to the significant enhancements in capacity, efficiency and flexibility needed to meet the nation’s airspace and airportal requirements of the future.
