TL;DR: The NASA Airborne Subscale Transport Aircraft Research Unmanned Aerial System project's capabilities were expanded by updating the system design and concept of operations as mentioned in this paper, and three successful test flights were conducted from runway 4-22 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Wallops Flight Facility.
Abstract: The NASA Airborne Subscale Transport Aircraft Research Unmanned Aerial System project's capabilities were expanded by updating the system design and concept of operations. The new remotely piloted airplane system design was flight tested to assess integrity and operational readiness of the design to perform flight research. The purpose of the system design is to improve aviation safety by providing a capability to validate, in high-risk conditions, technologies to prevent airplane loss of control. Two principal design requirements were to provide a high degree of reliability and that the new design provide a significant increase in test volume (relative to operations using the previous design). The motivation for increased test volume is to improve test efficiency and allow new test capabilities that were not possible with the previous design and concept of operations. Three successful test flights were conducted from runway 4-22 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Wallops Flight Facility.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of interval management operations is described that begin in en route airspace and continue to a termination point inside the arrival terminal area in the highly automated terminal environment that includes other arrival management tools such as arrival metering, ground-based interval management -spacing (GIM-S), and terminal sequencing and spacing (TSAS), the roles of Air Traffic and Pilots and the ground automation tools that are used by Air Traffic Controllers to enable the operations are explored.
Abstract: This paper presents the concept of operations for interval management operations to be deployed in the US National Airspace System (NAS) by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Interval Management Program. The arrivals and approach operations are explored in detail including the primary operation and variations. The use of interval management operations is described that begin in en route airspace and continue to a termination point inside the arrival terminal area in the highly automated terminal environment that includes other arrival management tools such as arrival metering, Ground-based Interval Management - Spacing (GIM-S), and Terminal Sequencing and Spacing (TSAS). The roles of Air Traffic and Pilots and the ground automation tools that are used by Air Traffic Controllers to enable the operations are explored.

TL;DR: The Next-Generation Incident Command System (NICS), formerly the Lincoln Distributed Disaster Response System (LDDRS), is described, an open, non-proprietary, distributed, scalable, web-based situational awareness system for First Responders.
Abstract: Large-scale disasters present significant incident management challenges due to their size and complexity. Organizations often introduce distinct Concepts of Operations (CONOPs), resources, and tools. Collecting and disseminating real-time information across all responders and organizations presents a difficult, but urgent, technical problem, exemplified by the responses to the 2010 Deep Water Horizon oil spill and the 2011 9.0 magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami in Japan. Web-based application capabilities have matured significantly and can provide a distributed, feature-rich, and standards-based collaboration environment for First Responders. This paper describes the Next-Generation Incident Command System (NICS), formerly the Lincoln Distributed Disaster Response System (LDDRS), an open, non-proprietary, distributed, scalable, web-based situational awareness system for First Responders. NICS is developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL), in partnership with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), under the sponsorship of the Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology Directorate (S&T).
