Efficient Air Operations

Dynamic Airspace (DA) is part of the vision for tomorrow where the National Airspace System is agile and flexible, more performant, and more reliable. Dynamic Airspace allows airspace management facilities to fully or partially hand a portion of airspace to another facility to mitigate against high traffic levels or technical issues. This allows the system to be more resilient to anomalies and more efficient overall.

Instead of each Center’s operation and configuration being set locally and in isolation, facilities can more easily share their configurations and coordinate with others in a shared ecosystem. Flight, voice, and surveillance data can be redirected to other facilities to allow them to remotely manage the traffic outside of their normal jurisdiction. ATC services can more easily be distributed evenly across controller workstations as needed.
