The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a firm fixed price contract to Robust Analytics, Inc., a woman-owned small business, to develop a detailed process and architecture for Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) concept negotiation and data exchange. TBO represents a major change in air traffic management with potential for substantial performance and safety benefits. Robust Analytics will build on the understanding that various stakeholders, including the FAA, airlines, and aircraft, possess superior information in different areas. The $124,807 contract, awarded under NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, aims to facilitate timely negotiations to determine trajectories that meet both airline business objectives and air traffic management requirements, while addressing uncertainties and constraints in the National Airspace System (NAS).
