Air Space Intelligence (ASI) 是近期部署的联邦航空管理局 (FAA) AI 工具背后的公司，该公司否认与周五下午发布的全国性停飞令有任何关联。
Air Space Intelligence (ASI), the company behind a recently deployed Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) AI tool, denied any link to the nationwide ground stop issued Friday afternoon.
“目前的停飞令并非基于 SMART 系统、ASI 的任何产品，也非我们与 FAA 和空管部门的整合所致，”该公司在美东时间下午 5:34 于社交平台 X 发帖称，当时停飞令仍在生效中。
“The current ground stop is not based on or a result of the SMART system, any product of ASI or our integration with FAA and ATC,” the company said in a 5:34 p.m. EST post to social platform X, while the stoppage was still in effect.
全国性停飞始于周五下午，持续约四小时。交通部长肖恩·达菲 (Sean Duffy) 在美东时间下午 4:16 于社交平台 X 发文称，FAA 发布该指令是“因影响所有航路管制中心的通信问题”。达菲在 15 分钟后开始的白宫简报会上表示，空域于晚上 8:15 左右开放，停飞令随即解除。部长称，事故是由路由器数据过载导致的。
The nationwide grounding began Friday afternoon and lasted for around four hours. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wrote in a 4:16 p.m. post on social platform X the FAA made the order “following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers.”The airspace was opened at around 8:15 p.m. and the stop was lifted, Duffy said during a White House briefing that began 15 minutes later. The secretary said the incident resulted from an overload of data on routers.
“我们的交换机、路由器实际上因数据过载而超负荷运转，”达菲说。“它们开始给我们提供来自那些……路由器的不一致数据。因此，我们关闭了系统。”FAA 于 9 月在华盛顿特区部署了新的战略空域管理、航路与轨迹系统——即 SMART 工具。达菲当时表示，这套耗资 8.75 亿美元的 AI 系统旨在摄取实时数据以及当前和未来的天气状况，向空管人员推荐必要的航路变更。
“Our switches, our routers, actually got overloaded with data,” Duffy said. “They started to give us inconsistency in the data from those … routers. And because of that, we shut the system down.”The FAA deployed the new Strategic Management of Airspace, Routing and Trajectories — or SMART — tool in September in Washington, D.C. The AI-powered system, which cost the Transportation Department $875 million, is meant to ingest real-time data as well as current and future weather conditions to recommend necessary flight path changes to air traffic controllers, Duffy said at the time.
在周五的简报会上，部长断言SMART工具与停飞令无关，称该系统“根本没接通电源”。
During Friday’s briefing, the secretary asserted the SMART tool had nothing to do with the ground stop, saying the system “isn’t plugged in.”
“这是完全断开的，我喜欢有些人说这会是根本原因。顺便说一句，如果真的是，我会告诉你们，但这甚至没接通电源，”他说。“所以，SMART不可能产生任何影响。”
“This is completely disconnected, and I love that some people have said this would be the root cause. By the way, if it was, I’ll tell you that, but this is not even plugged in,” he said. “So, there’s no possible way SMART would have impacted.”
达菲还向国会请求500亿美元，用于重建他所描述的“极其陈旧”的空管系统，这与他持续推动的美国航空旅行现代化努力一致。国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林呼应了达菲的呼吁，表示：“必须对系统进行彻底大修。”9月，达菲曾向国会请求300亿美元，用于资助全国范围内的新技术、管制塔和机场改善项目。
Duffy also asked Congress for $50 billion to rebuild what he described as an “incredibly old” air traffic control system, aligning with his ongoing efforts to modernize U.S. air travel. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin echoed Duffy’s call, saying, “It has to be a complete overhaul of the system.”In September, Duffy had asked the Congress for $30 billion to fund new technology, control towers and airport improvements across the country.
