ABSTRACT
The MITRE Corporation's Center
for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) and the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) are currently developing a set of enhancements
to the User Request Evaluation Tool (URET). These enhancements are designed
to further the support provided by URET for strategic Air Traffic Control,
by extending the URET analysis and detection capabilities to new types
of problems (e.g., severe weather), and assisting in the resolution
of these problems. This paper describes extensions of the URET capabilities
to support severe weather avoidance, as currently implemented in the
CAASD En Route Research Prototype. The Concept of Use for these enhancements
is presented, along with the methodology and results of initial laboratory
evaluations and a pilot survey. Topics for future evaluations and analysis
are also identified.
