Mirza Faizan is an Indian-American aerospace scientist who developed the Ground Reality Information Processing System (GRIPS).[1][2]

Biography

Faizan attended St Karen’s School, Patna, and graduated from Patna University, followed by work in master of computer application at Manipal Institute of Technology, and in embedded systems at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.[2]

He then worked for Defence Research and Development Organisation, Satyam Computers, Honeywell, Airbus-France, and on aerospace projects in the US.[2]

Faizan came to the United States in 2013 on a EB-1 visa.[3] Faizan is a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He currently lives in Texas, US.[2]

Mirza Faizan is the inventor of the Ground Reality Information Processing System (GRIPS), a runway safety system.[4][5] GRIPS was nominated for the Jane’s ATC Award 2014 held in Madrid.[6]

Inventions

Mirza Faizan developed Ground Reality Information Processing System (GRIPS). This system prevents runway incursion and identifies foreign objects and debris on runways in real-time at the time of airplane take-off or landing.[4][5]

NASA scientists evaluated GRIPS and further recommended it to National Air Traffic Services in the UK. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the national aviation authority of the United States of America, also shortlisted GRIPS among the technologies that prevent runway incursions.[4]

GRIPS was nominated for the Jane’s ATC Award 2014 held in Madrid.[6]
