As air travel continues to expand and aviation networks become increasingly complex, Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research’s Institute for Infocomm Research (A*STAR I²R) are joining forces to advance air traffic management (ATM) technologies aimed at helping the aviation sector manage future demand.
As part of the collaboration, the two organizations will establish a joint laboratory in Singapore, operated by A*STAR I²R. The facility will concentrate on developing next-generation ATM technologies and aviation solutions, particularly in areas such as automation, digital operations, and the integration of emerging technologies with both existing and future aviation systems.
Jim Preaskorn, Leidos vice president of ATM, said the collaboration demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to the Indo-Pacific region while supporting the development of aviation systems that are more efficient, resilient and sustainable. He noted that as aviation infrastructure becomes increasingly interconnected and sophisticated, controllers will require advanced tools to make quicker and better-informed decisions.
The partnership brings together Leidos’ experience in air traffic management, artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity with A*STAR I²R’s strengths in data analytics, advanced communications and applied research.
Dr. Sun Sumei, executive director at A*STAR I²R, highlighted the institute’s experience in turning advanced research into practical technologies. She said the partnership will enable both organizations to jointly develop next-generation ATM solutions by combining expertise in AI, communications and data technologies for the aviation industry across the Indo-Pacific region.
With annual global passenger traffic expected to move toward 10 billion passengers, the collaboration forms part of Leidos’ broader efforts to modernize aviation infrastructure. It also reinforces the company’s expansion strategy in the Indo-Pacific, one of the world’s rapidly developing aviation markets.
