Project Elements
The Virtual Airspace Modeling and Simulation (VAMS) Project is divided into three areas or sub-projects, each dealing with a specific portion of the overall development process:
The SLIC element supports the VAMS Project by managing the conceptualization and definition of revolutionary ways to operate the National Airspace System (NAS) that will lead to a significant increase in system capacity to meet the ever-increasing demands on the NAS at an affordable cost and no reduction in safety. The SLIC element includes work at Langley Research Center to develop and analyze an operational concept based on Wake Vortex Avoidance Systems technologies. The VAST element is developing virtual airspace environments with modeling and simulation capabilities to assess both the individual and integrated behavior of current and future air transportation system concepts and technologies at the NAS-wide level and at the detailed human-in-the-loop level. The VAST element includes work at the Glenn Research Center to develop communications, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) models. The SEA element is responsible for the identification, development, and oversight of the common scenario sets, methods, and metrics used within the VAMS Project for assessment of the proposed air transportation concepts being developed by SLIC and of the modeling and simulation tools being developed by VAST. The VAMS Project also maintains a Systems Engineering and Integration element, which provides management support systems and daily project operational support. The final element of the organization includes a Chief Blending Architect, whom provides recommendations for blending processes and assists in architecting a NAS-wide capacity-increasing concept. |
