One of CAASD's goals is to actively participate in the aviation community.
We share our knowledge and work on building consensus across the community
in an effort to achieve modernization of domestic and international aviation
systems. We are frequently invited to contribute to conferences, professional
journals, and other industry initiatives.
The following are past events that CAASD participated in. View current conferences.

December 9 - December 11, 2008
Ten years ago, New Mexico State University held its first UAS conference, focused on civil applications. This conference was one of a just a few UAS conferences held in the United States at the time. Since then, we have seen explosive growth in the application of UAS, primarily in the defense sector. We have continued to see strong interest in achieving access to the national airspace system. Our goal ten years later continues to provide a forum for DoD, DHS, other federal agencies and aerospace entrepreneurs to promote this revolution in the aerospace industry.

Airport SMS: From FAA Pilot Program to Implementation
Baltimore, MD
October 30 - October 31, 2008
The American Association of Airport Executives, The MITRE Corporation and Airports Council InternationalNorth America, in collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration are pleased to present the conference, Airport SMS: From FAA Pilot Program to Implementation to be held October 30-31, 2008 in Baltimore, Maryland.
In November 2006, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) amended Annex 14, Volume I (Airport Design and Operations) to require member States to have certificated international airports establish a Safety Management System (SMS). In February 2007, the FAA released Advisory Circular 150/5200-37 which begins the process of introducing SMS into the U.S. airport community. The FAA intends to propose new rules to Part 139 in 2009. Over the past year, pilot programs funded by the FAA have been testing the SMS Concept at various airports. The results of the pilot program will be released at the conference.
What is SMS? SMS is a systematic, proactive and well-defined safety program, allowing an organization to incorporate safety and productivity, to fully understand and mitigate the safety risks of actions and activities at the airport. It is essentially a tool for all users of the aviation system to be aware of the risk and to be actively engaged in minimizing the risk while flying. The key to any successful SMS program is that it is data driven, and relies on a non-punitive system of self-reporting.
This conference brings the leadership of the FAA to explain the goals and objectives for SMS at U.S. airports. The conference will also incorporate other aviation sectors that are already moving forward with SMS, such as air traffic and air carriers, in order to learn from their experiences.
Finally, the conference will give participants the unique opportunity to hear first-hand from pilot airports what challenges, successes and findings they have achieved.

There has been much recent work exploring new paradigms for the operation of the future National Airspace System (NAS). One common element explored is the sharing of separation responsibility between the ground controller and pilot. This concept explores placing the controller into a more strategic role to identify issues and resolutions and relying on the flight crew to implement the resolution and maintain separation during the maneuver. This paper briefly describes the analysis of the communications, navigation, surveilland and avionics implicatioins of operating with aircraft separation responsibilities shared between the controller and pilot. Primary focus is on pair-wise crossing maneuvers and merging operations. Particular attention in the analysis was given to identifying missing enabling technologies to accomplish the new operational concepts.
