ABSTRACT
This paper reports on research being conducted by The MITRE
Corporation's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development
(CAASD) into providing enhanced trial planning and problem
resolution capabilities to the en route sector controller. The goal
of this research is to assist the controller in handling the more
complex traffic patterns that can result from a less structured
free flight environment, and in maintaining an efficient, strategic
mode of ATC operation in heavy traffic situations. This goal is
consistent with the Free Flight concept described in [1-3], which
includes the provision of enhanced problem resolution support for
free flight operations.
