Daniel J. Brudnicki
Director
Transportation Systems |
Mr. Brudnicki is Director of Noblis’ Transportation Systems Mission Area, a diverse group of engineers, scientists, and analysts focused on improving the safety, reliability, and efficiency of our nation’s transportation system through technology innovation, practical system engineering, and objective advice. Principal clients include the Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Federal Transit Administration, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the Research and Innovation Technology Administration.
Mr. Brudnicki has extensive experience in system engineering and analysis, strategic planning, modeling and simulation, and leadership in developing practical solutions for large-scale, complex problems. His group supports its clients principally in the areas of systems acquisition, management of technology portfolios, concept development, systems evolution planning, policy analysis, traffic operations analysis, and strategic planning. Examples include the Intelligent Transportation System initiatives at the U.S. Department of Transportation and the FAA’s Telecommunications Infrastructure and Air/Ground Data Communications programs.
Prior to joining Noblis, Mr. Brudnicki led efforts to develop advanced automation capabilities for air traffic management and controller training at The MITRE Corporation. There, he was most responsible for defining and validating concepts for future air traffic operations, developing advanced simulation technologies for training air traffic controllers, and providing support for the FAA’s En Route Automation Modernization program, a $1.2B effort to architect and instantiate a modern en route infrastructure for the National Airspace System.
Prior to joining MITRE in 1990, Mr. Brudnicki developed real-time software on advanced military aircraft simulators for Link Flight Simulation.
Mr. Brudnicki has published papers in peer-reviewed journals and symposia, and has served on a number of conference panels. He holds a masters degree in computer science from Johns Hopkins University and a bachelor’s degree in computer science from The Pennsylvania State University, where he graduated with distinction and Phi Beta Kappa.
