Digital Information Platform (DIP) Flight Operators Collaborative Demonstrations Announcement of Collaborative Partnership Opportunities (ACO)

NASA’s Digital Information Platform (DIP) sub-project under the Air Traffic Management – eXploration (ATM-X) project plans to establish industry partnerships to participate in designing, developing, and demonstrating a digital data ecosystem to enable improved air traffic decision making. The overall goal of DIP sub-project is to accelerate transformation of the National Airspace System (NAS) and airspace operations through the development of a foundation for advanced, data-driven, digital services for both conventional and emergent operations.

The primary focus of DIP is to develop a reference implementation of an easily accessible cloud-based Digital Information Platform utilized by a community of data and service providers and operators to gather and access real-time and historical data upon which data-driven services for NAS users are developed and operated, with the goal of ultimately transferring that implementation to the public. The DIP platform will facilitate a one-to-many shared services model rather than traditional one-to-one services model. The DIP sub-project would like to establish partnerships with flight operators to collaborate on data-driven services that improve efficiency, predictability, and scalability of airspace operations.

Through this Announcement, DIP seeks partnerships to establish an aviation community to collaboratively support the development of the DIP ecosystem by collaboratively developing concept requirements, use cases, and demonstrations to improve the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of National Airspace System (NAS) operations.
