Overview

Air traffic control is one of the most safety-critical roles in modern transport, relying on the expertise of highly trained controllers to guide aircraft safely to their destinations. Project Bluebird, a Prosperity Partnership between NATS, The Alan Turing Institute, and the University of Exeter, is exploring whether machine agents could support or perform aspects of this task.

This talk will introduce the research behind Project Bluebird, showcasing the machine agents developed so far and examining the technical and operational challenges of deploying them in such a high-stakes environment.
