The Aviation Innovation Research (AIR) Lab
Established in Nov 2019, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Thales launched a research lab in Singapore as a key nexus to accelerate the innovation and collaboration between CAAS and Thales for the next generation of Air Traffic Management (ATM).
Co-steered by the senior management from CAAS and Thales, AIR Lab is leveraging open and advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to develop and demonstrate future ATM Proof-of-Concepts (POCs). The POCs in AIR Lab will allow quick integration of the new innovations that are developed into an ATM System. AIR Lab is also co-located with the Thales Digital Factory to synergise with the digital transformation efforts in Thales.
Strategically sited in the vibrant WeWork’s flagship in Suntec, the AIR Lab aims to accelerate the development of the next-gen of local ATM experts and nurture their talents. ATM domain experts, software developers/engineers and Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) from CAAS and Thales would also be working in concert and in an agile fashion on the POCs. Supported by the Aviation Transformation Programme (ATP) under the National Research Foundation, AIR Lab provides an open platform for multiple stakeholders in the ATM value chain; including AI experts, software engineers, local start-ups, and enterprises, to collaborate and overcome technological challenges faced by conventional aviation management.
The AIR Lab also provides an opportunity for innovative start-ups to participate in the excellence of Singapore’s own ATM ecosystem and to jointly develop solutions that can be scaled at a global level.
