ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May 24, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The state of Alaska has awarded Woolpert a three-year,
$1.5 million contract to provide
statewide aviation safety, advocacy, and GIS modernization
services.
The contract will support significant advancements in aviation
safety for the state, including the full digitization of weather
information, pilot communications, and flight planning to provide
real-time information for pilots and dispatchers.
This contract is an expansion of services provided under an
advanced air mobility infrastructure analysis contract completed
last year. Woolpert Program Director Greg
Dyer said that the expansion will support the development of
the Alaska Aviation System Plan (AASP).
"Under this new contract, we'll be building executable plans in
response to issues identified during last year's gap analysis
contract," Dyer said. "By leveraging Woolpert's GIS and air traffic
control expertise, we are now focused on helping Alaska take its next steps in modernizing its
aviation infrastructure, enhancing statewide operational
efficiency, and formulating the best possible service for its
aviators, both commercial and private."
Woolpert also will support the development of real-time GIS
dashboards designed to help enhance transparency among Alaska's aviation advocacy stakeholders
including the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Alaska
Airmen's Association, Alaska Air Carriers, and the Federal Aviation
Administration.
"We will be assisting with the planning, design, and preliminary
stages of a real-time outage reporting system created in
collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration and in
alignment with Alaska's statewide
aviation goals," Dyer said. "We are incredibly proud and excited to
continue our work supporting the great state of Alaska and the future of its growing and vital
aviation infrastructure."
The contract is underway.
