Air Traffic Management

The FAA awarded Air Space Intelligence a 12-year, $875 million contract to replace its traffic-flow management system and expand the SMART decision-support tool to en route centers nationwide. The award establishes ASI as the single prime for Flow Management Data and Services and SMART; it does not signal an open competition, while the November 13 ground stop was attributed to overloaded communications equipment—not SMART.

The U.S. Department of Transportation began using its SMART decision-support tool at three Washington-area airports in September 2026. DOT says it has helped reroute 110 flights while reducing flight time and fuel use, and plans to expand the tool nationwide; the announcement does not identify a new solicitation or contract opportunity.
