A study of the Controller-Assigned Airborne Separation (CAAS) strategic crossing application has been completed by the MITRE Corporation's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD). The strategic CAAS procedure permits delegation of separation authority from the air traffic controller to the aircrew in specific situations, while assisted by ground-based automation for conflict detection and resolution, as well as data communication for clearance delivery.
