Abstract
In the late 1990s major changes in the philosophy of air traffic control are underway. The traditional approach to managing air traffic is characterized by central control of flight operations by ground based personnel supported by ground-based technology. Future management of air traffic is described as “free flight” and will feature collaborative decision making among pilots, ground based controller personnel, and air line operations control centers - all supported by space based technology with significant airborne and ground components. The effective realization of free flight requires advances in communications, navigation, surveillance, and human factors technology and procedural changes. Some research required to support these advances is described in this paper.
