ABSTRACT
This document introduces and describes concepts being explored under the Transition
Airspace Controller Tools (TACT) research effort at the MITRE Corporation's
Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD). These concepts
address identified difficulties radar controllers face while meeting
flow restrictions in transition airspace. The tools provide controllers
with cognitive assistance, through intuitive visualization, for complex
tasks such as accurately meeting time-based metering schedules. This
document serves as a primer for decision makers and stakeholders who
seek to understand the functional value of TACT concepts; their applicability
considering current National Airspace System (NAS) modernization activities;
and the postulated effect of their use in an operational environment.
