The aviation safety prototype (AvSP) is a airline risk-assessing, parametric performance driven, collaborative development effort between Glenn Research Center (GRC) and Ames Research Center (ARC).

AvSP allows an Internet user the ability to execute and interact with a secure system that monitors and modes the air traffic over a major US airport. The AvSP processes flight data that was previously gathered for arrivals and departures through take-off and landing, as well as for weather information, aircraft models, GRC engine models, ARC wing models, and combined systems all executing within an integrated framework.

The AvSP combines various new technologies including GRC's Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) V1.0 to process engine data, Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), web technologies, Object Relational Database, Information Power Grid (IPG), Load Sharing Facility (LSF) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
