In 2021, MIT Lincoln Laboratory is celebrating its 70th year of operation as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center and its 50th year of support to the Federal Aviation Administration. The Laboratory has developed and transitioned a range of technologies to industry to improve aviation safety and efficiency in areas including aircraft surveillance, collision avoidance, weather sensing and forecasting, traffic management, and logistics optimization. Recent thrusts have been focusing on safely increasing autonomy, developing innovative AI/machine learning capabilities, and enabling growth in unmanned aircraft operations.
In this webinar, we will engage with several researchers from Lincoln Laboratory who will provide an outline of recent advances in air traffic control technology and some of the key challenges and opportunities for the future.
