MITRE has a longstanding relationship with the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). Since 1958, the year MITRE first opened its
doors, we have helped the FAA address the nation’s most critical
aviation issues.
Our role was enhanced in 1990 when the FAA created a Federally
Funded Research and Development Center and selected MITRE to operate
it. The new entity is the Center for Advanced Aviation System Development
(CAASD).
In addition to supporting the FAA, CAASD collaborates with civil
aviation authorities around the world, all of which face similar
challenges in the areas of safety, security, and efficiency. These
relationships enable us to increase our knowledge of best practices
in aviation and share these with our customers.
