Human Systems integration Division Researcher Briefs on NASA Efforts in Higher Airspace Traffic Management
On November 20-21, 2025, Human Systems Integration Division researcher Jeff Homola participated in the High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) Alliance Member Meeting in New York, NY. This meeting is the premiere industry event for higher airspace operators, associated technologies, and government stakeholders. Given NASA’s leading role in the research on integrating these unique aircraft into the airspace and the Human Systems Integration Division’s central role, Jeff attended and presented at the member meeting to brief attendees on NASA’s recent accomplishments and potential paths ahead. Much of this briefing focused on the successful real-time simulations that were conducted this past summer with partners Aerostar (Aerostar International LLC), Sceye, and AV utilizing the NASA-developed Higher Airspace Traffic Management architecture.
The impact of participating in this meeting was: 1) the continued solidification of NASA and US leadership in the approach to airspace integration in domestic and international airspace; and 2) define key points of reference and identify emerging needs with current and new collaborative stakeholders in charting a path toward operational implementation of new higher airspace technologies.
