| With
the
goal
of
providing
safer,
more
flexible,
more
fuel-efficient
routing,
and
increased
capacity
in
enroute
and
terminal
area
operations,
NASA and
the
FAA have
undertaken
a
number
of
technology
development
efforts.
These
programs
are
exploiting
advances
in
flight
management
systems,
communication
and
automation
in
Air
Traffic
Control
(ATC)
aiding.
The
Advanced
Air
Transportation
Technologies
initiative
(AATT) and
the
Terminal
Area
Productivity
(TAP)
program have
research
elements
explicitly
focused
on
the
development
of
technologies
for
effective
integration
of
flight
deck
automation,
flight
crew,
ATC,
and
ATC-aiding
systems.
This
integration
should
produce
optimized
routing,
sequencing,
and
scheduling
in
the
terminal
area
while
relaxing
constraints
in
enroute
environments
to
accommodate
user-preferred
routing
and
schedules.
These
goals
are
to
be
met
by
the
development
of
aiding
and
communications
technologies
and
the
redefinition
of
roles
and
procedures
in
the
National
Airspace
System.
