Completed TRL 3 (started at 2, targeting 6)
Domestic Applied Traffic Flow Management develops and delivers air/ground technologies and procedures to the FAA and flight operators that enable reduced weather-induced delays through the integration of weather information to better manage aircraft, traffic flow, airspace and schedule constraints.
• Efficient re-routes that are traffic-manager friendly, avoid merging streams, weather proximity, and congestion. • Integrated solutions extend NASA domestic air/ground capabilities for individual aircraft and streams of aircraft to overcome traffic flow management challenges and achieve reduced lengths of conservative pre-flight routes.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 3) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
