Metron Aviation Garners Best-of-Session Paper at 28th Digital Avionics Systems Conference

The paper addresses strategic planning horizons, for which weather forecasts are significantly less accurate. An ensemble of forecasts provides better guidance about the spread of possible future weather scenarios, directly enhancing efficiency and capacity for aviation stakeholders. This Best-of-Session award is a great honor for Metron Aviation, said Jack Kies, President. This research advances predictive mechanisms that can enhance airspace capacity when its needed mostduring adverse weather conditions. DASC also selected Metron Aviations paper, A Critique of an Operational Concept for Managing Traffic in Super Dense Operations Airspace, written by Jimmy Krozel, in conjunction with Ohio State Universitys Philip J. Smith, Ph.D., Interface Analysis Associates Anthony D. Andre, Ph.D., Cognitive Systems Engineerings Amy Spencer and Consultant, Mark Evans. The paper describes a concept for the functioning of airspace operating under Super Dense Operations (SDO). DASC provides a forum for the exchange of new knowledge, ideas and procedures in digital avionics in the fields of commercial, military, general aviation and space applications. Specifically, the 28th DASC focused on presenting solutions to modernize avionics and improve future flight operations.
