Monday, July 1, 2024 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking insights into enhancing aviation safety by incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into its analysis methods. This initiative aims to leverage AI for a better comprehension of the factors contributing to safety incidents within the National Airspace System (NAS). Through market research, the FAA intends to pinpoint existing AI capabilities relevant to aviation safety and gather feedback from the industry on potential growth areas.
The collected data during this inquiry will help assess market interest and the industry’s capacity to integrate AI technologies into FAA operations. Currently, the FAA utilizes various systems within the Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) framework. These systems support the analysis and sharing of critical safety data across multiple platforms and stakeholders.
By introducing a new AI-driven safety system, the FAA anticipates broadening the scope of its current data sources, thereby enhancing the understanding of scenarios that predispose to high-risk operations. The ultimate objective is to develop a tailored analytics tool accessible to both direct and indirect aviation industry stakeholders. According to SAM.
GOV, the FAA’s goals include: Integration of AI will involve navigating challenges related to data sensitivity, diversity, timing, and the overall integration workflow. Consequently, the FAA is soliciting proposals from vendors who can dem.
