The MITRE Corporation has formalised its partnership with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) during the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) 12th Air Navigation Conference in Montreal.
Since 2006, The MITRE Corporation has been working closely with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to provide solutions to meet India’s significant aviation growth. That relationship was further strengthened in April, when MITRE and AAI signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for developing a long-term partnership in which MITRE agreed to provide technical support to AAI for establishing an in-house research and development capability to improve the aviation infrastructure and to meet air traffic management challenges in India. On November 20, leaders of the two organisations formally exchanged signed agreements.
“MITRE has been a trusted partner in the Air Traffic Management (ATM) developmental programme in India since 2006. Technology and knowledge transfer are key elements of cooperation,” said V.P. Agrawal, Chairman, Airports Authority of India.
“India is the major Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) in the Asia Pacific Region; AAI having proven its capability to lead regional implementation activities has taken a strategic move to develop a long-term partnership with MITRE for technical support in the areas of Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) and ATM system planning and implementation strategy, specialized competence-based management training, technology transfer activities and adopting industry best practices, and software development. These efforts will help place AAI in a leading role for facilitating global harmonization and seamless ATM across the regions,” said V. Somasundaram, Member (ANS), Airports Authority of India.
