MELBOURNE, FL — February 16, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Skymantics, LLC, a leader in systems engineering and data-driven federal solutions, will showcase its approach to bridging the gap between legacy infrastructure and next-generation technology at ATCA Connect 2026. The company will use its booth to demonstrate how mature Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-fidelity synthetic data can be used to improve operations.
Skymantics will participate in two sessions on Monday, March 2, addressing the strategic and technical challenges of National Airspace System (NAS) modernization. The sessions will feature the company’s experience in maturing the Flight Object and Flow Object concepts to create a unified, real-time picture of NAS operations.
During the Main Conference Panel at 1:50 PM, titled “Modernization in Motion: How Data, Automation, and New Tools Change Operations,” Skymantics will join other industry leaders to discuss how cloud-based architectures and shared data are altering workflows for controllers and pilots.
In the Industry Presentation at 3:00 PM, titled “Bending the Iron Triangle: Scaling AI-Enabled Engineering from the Skymantics Foundry to the FAA Research Development and Operating Environment,” Skymantics will detail how it uses AI to improve project management constraints and improve scope, cost, and schedule simultaneously.
At the heart of Skymantics’ exhibit is the Skymantics Foundry, an environment where AI-enabled workflows generate productivity gains. The Foundry includes:
Software Engineering: A 36% average productivity increase via AI-supported Test Driven Development (TDD).
Systems Engineering: “Requirements Multiplexing” that reduces feedback loops from weeks to minutes.
Data Science: Amplification factors as high as 70% by automating “data munging”.
The company reports that its metrics demonstrate a 12-person team can gain the equivalent of 3.07 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) capacity using the AI-enabled workflows.
Skymantics will also feature its work in Synthetic Data Generation, which was perfected during its prime contract with the IRS. By creating reliable synthetic data, Skymantics allows agencies to test approximately 200 applications while protecting sensitive information-a framework now being applied to the FAA’s Research Development and Operating Environment (RD-OE).
According to Charles Chen, CEO at Skymantics, integrating AI into the engineering culture can deliver a service-based NAS faster and more securely than previously thought possible.
Visit Skymantics at Booth 114 to see live demonstrations of AI-enabled DevOps and discuss the future of Info-Centric NAS.
