FAA awards ASI a 12-year $875 million national air-traffic modernization contract
99 FOMOASI was selected to deploy FMDS and SMART as central components of the FAA's air-traffic management modernization. FMDS will provide the underlying flow-management data and services, while SMART will coordinate schedules and trajectories to prevent congestion before departure. The system is designed to integrate weather, airport capacity, airline schedules and operational constraints into a unified platform. ASI said it had invested nearly $100 million of its own resources in developing the underlying technology.
Why it matters
