At present, there is more innovation and investment advancing aviation than any time since the Wright Brothers first flight in 1903. This effort is preparing the USA's National Airspace System (NAS) for air taxis, small-package delivery drones, air cargo logistics drones, autonomous aircraft and commercial space transportation among other novel air transport operations. The Center is also helping to develop and test Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) traffic management concepts and technologies. The Technical Center's cybersecurity laboratory is working constantly to protect the info-centric systems that continue to increase in importance for air traffic controllers. Pilots, controllers, dispatchers as well as airport and airline managers are digitally connected in ways almost unimaginable sixty years ago. Satellite communications, navigation and surveillance now complement the ground based systems. The Technical Center's contributions to air traffic management are continuing in the modern, digital age. Those decades have seen aviation breakthroughs in air traffic control and management as well as in crash and fire safety, energy-absorbing runway overruns, aircraft structures, pavement design, weather sensors, the hazard of lightning strikes on aircraft and other areas. Hughes Technical Center at Atlantic City International Airport has been designing, testing and supporting new ways of controlling and managing air traffic for more than six decades.
