MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. – NASA’s Ken Freeman has been awarded the Air Traffic Control Association (ATCA) Award for his work on the ATM-X Digital Information Platform (DIP). The award recognizes Freeman’s significant contributions to the advancement of air traffic management (ATM) through the development and implementation of innovative digital technologies.
The ATM-X DIP is a next-generation ATM platform that is designed to improve the safety, efficiency, and capacity of the National Airspace System (NAS). The platform is based on a service-oriented architecture (SOA) that allows for the seamless integration of new and legacy systems. The DIP also provides a common set of data services that can be used by all ATM applications.
Freeman has been instrumental in the development and implementation of the ATM-X DIP. He has led the team that has developed the platform’s core services, including the data services, the messaging services, and the security services. Freeman has also worked closely with industry partners to ensure that the DIP is interoperable with existing ATM systems.
The ATM-X DIP is a major step forward in the modernization of the NAS. The platform is expected to improve the safety, efficiency, and capacity of the NAS by providing a more flexible and scalable ATM infrastructure.
Freeman’s work on the ATM-X DIP has been recognized by numerous organizations. In addition to the ATCA Award, Freeman has also received the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal and the NASA Exceptional Service Medal.
Freeman is a senior research scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center. He has over 30 years of experience in the development and implementation of ATM systems. Freeman is a Fellow of the IEEE and a member of the ATCA Board of Directors.
