Identifying functional requirements for flexible airspace management concept using human-in-the-loop simulations

• Identified capabilities for FAM operations from human-in-the-loop (HITL) simulations • Matched the identified capabilities to planned mid-term NextGen technologies • ERAM, ARMS, TMU upgrades, NVS, and Data Comm identified as FAM-related technologies • Matched comparisons indicate that limited FAM operations possible with currently planned NextGen technologies • Functions outlined in ERAM and ARMS are most critical in allowing more flexible airspace reconfigurations than is possible today
