CSC has supported FAA mission systems for more than 35 years. Together, CSC and the FAA are building new capabilities to modernize the National Airspace System. These capabilities include —
- Air traffic flow optimization
- Integration of precision approaches into the Terminal environment via time-based flow management
- Voice and digital network monitoring for complete operational situational awareness
- Application-oriented research and development in airspace and traffic flow management modeling.
- Technology insertion into every aspect of controller and technical training
CSC is pioneering efforts to better manage air traffic across the nation, and we have introduced the next generation of simulation technology -- CSC’s Air Traffic Control (ATC) Next-Generation Simulation Technology, or NexSim. NexSim is an advanced, cost-effective virtual-training solution that dramatically improves ATC readiness, safety and performance. In addition, due to NexSim's unique gate-to-gate capabilities, it is the emerging cost-effective R&D platform for airspace modeling and human-in-the-loop demonstrations. See NexSim simulated ATC workstation at the bottom of this page.
Additionally, we are uniquely positioned to draw on our global expertise in all facets of the transportation market to provide best practices in voice and data communications systems design, cybersecurity, cloud computing, logistics and identity management.
Experience That Counts: Successes in Air Traffic Management
Air Traffic System Guides Planes in for Landing. Systems developed by CSC have meant fewer flight delays, lower fuel consumption, and a reduction in workload for air traffic controllers. At the same time, peak arrival capacity at airports has increased by 3 to 5%..
Flight Planner Preps Pilots for Lift-Off. The FAA provides the latest weather and navigational data for free to private pilots. CSC has helped keep this initiative on the cutting edge.
CSC Gives FAA Safety Inspectors Access to Critical Data. The FAA’s 3,500 Flight Standards Aviation Safety Inspectors around the world monitor the performance of global aviation entities to enforce FAA safety standards.
