CARO is envisaged to provide support to Research, Innovation and Development  activities in AAI which will include but not be limited to the following areas / activities:

 

  1. Airspace and Airport related Safety, Capacity and Efficiency improvement programs considering the Growth in Air Traffic with focus on

    • Addressing the major airspace challenges arising due to anticipated growth in  UAS operations, aircraft operations and space tourism

    • Addressing the major airport infrastructure challenges with focus on enhancing airport throughput

    • Developing technologies and products in identified fields for the futuristic airspace/airport  needs

  2. Development and use of computer based Modelling and Simulation techniques/tools for the concept design and development, operation, enhancement of ANS and Airports related procedures / processes / systems and emerging technologies.

  3. Conducting studies and addressing problems/challenges of ANS/Airports with regard to current operational procedures / practices and processes.

  4. Improvement in Airport Infrastructure

  5. Establishing Data Centre to support ANS / Airport performance measurement and  Aviation related modelling and research

  6. Improving availability, reliability and safety of Airport/ANS Equipment and systems.

  7. Developing comprehensive User requirements for ANS/Airport systems using scientific methods/user needs analysis/emerging technologies survey and research on existing system deficiencies

  8. Addressing Interoperability issues  of ANS/Airport Systems

  9. Conducting studies for Reduction in environmental impact with introduction of new technology/procedures or improving existing procedures/systems efficiency.
