The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority has launched a new artificial intelligence-led programme that will help manage airspace-related incidents. The system, called Integrated Investigation and Notification (IIAN), will be a virtual manager and push through notifications to concerned people at the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) once any kind of incident occurs, including airspace and ground-related incidents. The IIAN has been launched to help the DCAA respond faster to problems and improve efficiency among staff in the authority. Part of the system functions using artificial intelligence (AI) and will also help predict what the root of the problem is. Abdulla Mohammed Al Blooshi, head of accidents investigations section at the DCAA, told Khaleej Times: "The system is born from our weakness. We had weaknesses in the system itself which delayed the process and made it very difficult to follow up certain investigations to a level we wanted to. However, we turned our weaknesses to strengths by using this system. We created a specific feature to target every weakness that we have and each feature is quite unique and innovative. Basically, the air control tower usually calls us if they need to notify us, but through the system, they will be able to type in the notification and they can send it to our duty investigator, who in turn will verify the information before pressing the submit button."
