At MITRE's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD), the department in charge of Traffic Flow Management Systems Engineering and Evolution represents a pool of some of the brightest minds in Systems and Software Engineering, not just in terms of the US but I believe globally. This department is developing software based on some of the most complex and intriguing multidisciplinary concepts. The Grand Challenge they face daily is to develop decision support and analysis tools that allow users to make better choices with regard to the use of our National Airspace System in an equitable manner within tight time constraints. The solutions that these individuals have created and are still producing could be applied to a much broader range of complex problems.
This team is comprised of many dedicated highly intelligent open minded professionals that continually embrace new ideas and approaches. They exemplify successful collaborative teamwork in research and development.
