This paper reports on research being conducted by The MITRE Corporation's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) into providing enhanced trial planning and problem resolution capabilities to the en route sector controller. The goal of this research is to assist the controller in handling the more complex traffic patterns that can result from a less structured free flight environment, and in maintaining an efficient, strategic mode of ATC operation in heavy traffic situations. This goal is consistent with the Free Flight concept described in [1-3], which includes the provision of enhanced problem resolution support for free flight operations.
