NASA LaRC InSITE (NOW-3790)

• The objectives of the Synthetic Vision
  Integrated Test and Evaluation (InSITE) program
  are to develop technologies with practical
  applications that will eliminate low visibility
  conditions as a causal factor to civil aircraft
  accidents. The technologies developed will
  replicate the operational benefits of flight
  operations in a bright, clear, sunny day,
  regardless of the outside weather condition. The
  concepts will emphasize the cost-effective use of
  synthetic/enhanced vision displays, worldwide
  navigation, terrain, obstruction, and airport
  databases and Global Positioning System
  (GPS)-derived navigation to eliminate
  visibility-induced (lack of visibility) errors
  applicable to all aircraft categories (Commercial
  Transport, Business, General Aviation, and
  Rotorcraft).

• NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC).

• The InSITE project is part of NASAs goal to
  develop breakthrough concepts and technologies
  for aircraft, airspace systems, safety, and
  security. The WFF portion of this activity
  includes project management and coordination, use
  of the WFF airfield and airspace, and operational
  support.
• Contract support is provided by CSOC, DynCorp
  and
• WICC.
• The Wallops budget for the project is
  approximately 35K.
