Numerous Lessons Learned documents from Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Hurricane Katrina have detailed the need for more timely and effective airspace coordination during planning and execution phases. Better coordination between components, agencies, and allies has the potential to reduce fratricide and promote air safety. The Joint Airspace Management and Deconfliction (JASMAD) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) is an effort by the Air Force Research Laboratory to address these challenges. The JASMAD In-House team was formed to support the JASMAD ATD. This paper addresses the technical and operational issues related to airspace management and the work by the JASMAD In-House team to provide solutions to this ever-changing problem space.
