The Project

Project Bluebird

Project Bluebird is a pioneering research programme developing the first autonomous AI agents for air traffic control, alongside a probabilistic digital twin of UK airspace for training, testing and evaluation. Our work spans three core pillars — a digital twin of UK airspace, AI agents for air traffic control, and the assurance research needed to trust them.

Research Pillars
