Welcome to the Crew Systems and Aviation Operations Branch!
The Crew Systems and Aviation Operations Branch (CSAOB), located in the Research Directorate at NASA Langley Research Center, conducts research to enable safe and efficient operations of aerospace vehicles and systems in the National Airspace System through the pioneering of new flight-deck concepts, technologies, and operational procedures in support of transformational flight, autonomous operations, and on-demand air transportation.
CSAOB researchers develop innovative aerospace concepts, technologies, and procedures that are easy to understand and use by leveraging multidisciplinary expertise in:
- Air Traffic Management and Aircraft Operations
- Automated and Autonomous Systems Design
- Crew/Vehicle Interaction Technologies
- Human and System Performance Measurement
- Human Factors and Human-System Interaction
- Physical and System Modeling
- Simulation and Flight Testing
- Synthetic and Enhanced Vision Systems
- Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Operations
