MITRE (SMS courseware developer)
FAA names MITRE as a resource in the SMS
"Read-Me-First"
Document" Reference Link - #9) MITRE Center
for the Advanced Aviation System Development is a
non-profit research organization used by the USA
Government (IRS, Dept. of Defense, FAA, etc...)
for a variety of projects.
MITRE CAASD has a longstanding relationship
(since 1958) with the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). Since 1958, the year MITRE
first opened its doors, MITRE has helped the FAA
address the nations most critical aviation issues.
MITRE's role was enhanced in 1990 when the FAA
created a Federally Funded Research and Development
Center and selected MITRE to operate it. The new
entity is the Center for Advanced Aviation System
Development (CAASD). MITRE has years of experience
in researching, teaching and implementing SMS at
airlines, airports, ATC providers, maintenance shops
and Civial Aviation Authorities worldwide.
In addition to supporting the
FAA,
MITRE CAASD collaborates with civil aviation
authorities around the world, all of which face
similar challenges in the areas of safety, security,
and efficiency. These relationships enable MITRE to
increase their knowledge of best practices in
aviation and share these with their customers.
As the federally-funded research and development
center for the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), CAASD is dedicated to improving aviation
system safety, security, and performance. In
addition to the FAA, customers include the
Transportation Security Administration, NASA, the
Federal Communications Commission, and other
government organizations. CAASD also performs work
for international clients and conducts collaborative
research with industry. Ultimately, MITRE serves the
aviation community around the world.
CAASD is a world-class research, engineering, and
development center. Their laboratories combine the
newest information technology with systems
engineering, modeling, and simulation to produce
results that are both operationally viable and award
winning. The work of the technical staff can be seen
in a variety of settings -- at conferences, in
journals and books, and on numerous patents. MITRE
CAASD most significant achievements are the systems
operating in the field that have resulted from their
collaboration and technology transfer to private
industry and air traffic management organizations
around the world.
