FAA Invests $875M in AI-Powered Air Traffic Management System
The FAA is investing $875 million in an AI-powered system called SMART to enhance air traffic management by predicting traffic flows and identifying potential flight conflicts. The cloud-based platform will initially deploy in the Washington, D.C. area to streamline airspace operations and improve safety.
A new AI-based software program is being launched to help air traffic controllers better navigate their jobs as the crossing guards of America's skies.
