Description
Work Location: NASA Ames Research Center (Mountain View, CA)
Minimum Citizenship: U.S. Citizen (position requires access to ITAR and/or EAR protected data)
Clearance: US Government
JOB DESCRIPTION
The Intelligent Systems Research and Development Support (ISRDS) contract supports NASA Ames Research Center in developing and infusing advanced information systems technology into NASA missions. Our scientists, engineers and information technologists support research and development of critical enabling intelligent technologies for all of the NASA Mission Directorates. This team has supported technology development for NASA space exploration missions such as LADEE and TESS, supports payload development for the International Space Station, and develops robotics and autonomous operations technologies for lunar and planetary exploration. ISRDS engineers provide support in aeronautics for autonomous operations of unmanned systems and for meeting the challenges of expanding capacity in the aviation industry.
NASA is developing the concepts for integrating the next revolution in Air Traffic Management, Urban Air Taxis into the NAS. This system will be taking a fast demonstration approach to developing these new concepts similar to the approach taken in developing NASA’s UTM systems.
The UTM Project has key deliverables to the FAA and industry via a Research Transition Team established with the FAA. The project is currently slated to be in effect through 2019.
The ATM-X project has a key deliverables of the Grand Challenge to the Aeronautics Associate Administrator in 2020.
