Summary of Second Half FY03 CAASD Technology Transfer Contributions

For Fiscal Year (FY) 2003, the Federal Aviation Administration requested that The MITRE Corporation's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) continue to further Free Flight Phase 2 (FFP2) objectives by facilitating the incorporation of operationally mature functions from the baseline Collaborative Routing Coordination Tools (CRCT) into the Traffic Flow Management Infrastructure (TFM-I). This technology transfer task entails assisting the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (VNTSC) with the integration of these CRCT functions into the Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS), an existing operational system within the TFM-I.
