Description

The growing global demand for airspace — driven by both traditional operations and an expanding array of new aircraft and mission types — necessitates a fundamental transformation in air traffic management (ATM). Future ATM systems must accommodate this surge while preserving the high levels of safety that currently exist and enabling seamless integration of crewed and uncrewed aircraft. This panel will explore how future ATM systems can harness (AI), support dynamic airspace management, and facilitate effective collaboration between human operators and highly automated systems to safely manage the complexity of tomorrow’s operations.
