FAA unveils SMART platform to consolidate airspace data streams
The FAA has introduced a tool intended to bring roughly 200 data streams, including weather, flight paths, traffic flow and controller staffing, into a single platform.
US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy and Federal Aviation Administrator Bryan Bedford have introduced a tool called Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes and Trajectories, or SMART. According to the announcement, the platform is meant to centralise about 200 data streams — weather patterns, flight paths, traffic flow and controller staffing metrics among them — into one unified system.
An AI-supported engine then synthesises that material, the agency said. No further details on deployment, timing or cost were given in the source material.
