WASHINGTON – NASA’s Aeronautics
Research Mission Directorate, Aviation Safety Program, has awarded
approximately $246,000 to the University of Michigan for a project called Proactive
System Design and Evaluation: Supporting Pilot-Automation Interaction
Through Empirical and Modeling Analyses.
The award will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the
exchange of ideas and information among researchers at NASA, industry,
academia, and other government agencies to benefit the nation’s aeronautics
community.
The Aviation Safety Program conducts cutting-edge research dedicated to
improving the safety of current and future aircraft operating in the
National Airspace System. The research will focus on the way vehicles are
designed, built, operated, and maintained. Scientists and engineers in this
program will develop principles, concepts, tools, methods, and technologies
to address four areas: aircraft aging and durability, integrated
intelligent flight deck technologies, integrated vehicle health management,
and integrated resilient aircraft control.
