November 29, 2011

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently received two prestigious awards and thanked The MITRE Corporation for the analysis and modeling work that helped make these wins possible.

The more significant honor, the Partnering for Excellence Award by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, is among the highest honors the department bestows. The FAA received it “for outstanding technical, financial and legal support” of the O'Hare Modernization Program, wrote Joseph Post, director of NextGen Systems Analysis at the FAA, in an email announcing the win. He went on to explain the specific work his team performed. “We estimated the delay implications of the O'Hare Modernization Program, with and without NextGen air traffic management improvements.” Mr. Post then made a special point to add, “I would like to thank the MITRE CAASD team who helped us with the airport capacity estimates.”
