Abstract	Rockwell Collins Advanced Technology Center has recently begun a new research project with NASA Langley to understand the certification implications of the use of adaptive/intelligent algorithms in aircraft flying in civil airspace. The goal of this project is to identify effective means to ensure, with a high level of confidence, that adaptive/intelligent systems used in airborne or air traffic management applications are safe, and determine changes, if any, needed to existing system safety standards and FAA certification guidance to assure their safety. We believe that this topic may be of great interest to many ACGSC members. Furthermore, we believe that ACGSC could be an important source of information in understanding the state of the art in adaptive/intelligent algorithms for use in aircraft control systems. If there is interest among the members and the Planning and Advisory Board, I would like to help organize a special session at the 113th meeting in March. The objectives of this session would be to understand 1) what adaptive or intelligent algorithms people are really planning to use in aircraft flying in civil airspace, 2) what functions those algorithms are performing on the aircraft, and 3) what are the certification and safety assurance implications for those functions and algorithms.
