• TASAR is an example of an early NextGen application — Enabled by network-centric data communications — Information management for a pilot decision aid for operational efficiency — Leverages extensive NASA research on traffic conflict detection using ADS-B • Cost savings of reduced fuel and/or reduced flight time through agile in-flight re-planning while en route during changing airspace environmental conditions • TASAR is amenable as a Type B software application hosted on a Class 2 EFB • TASAR designated as “Minor” failure effect classification (per FAA feedback) — Significantly reduces certification/operational approval requirements and associated costs • Initial pilot feedback from TASAR Usability Study has been positive — Both on Human Machine Interface and Operational Usability; detailed analysis in process • Additional refinement of TASAR cost benefits; synergy of TASAR with flight re-planning procedures with Dispatch and Air Traffic Control clearance requests • NASA “Out Reach” to industry to transition TASAR into the flight deck
