1. INTRODUCTION TO DAG-TM
The Distributed Air/Ground Traffic Management (DAG-TM) concept is a coherent set of conceptual elements that describe possible modes of operation within the outlines of the Free Flight concept defined by the RTCA Task Force 3 in Ref. 1. It may be viewed as one possible approach to the potential implementation of Free Flight, progressing along the path started by the Free Flight Phase 1 activities. This DAG-TM concept was developed by the Advanced Air Transportation Technologies (AATT) Project.
1.1 Advanced Air Transportation Technologies Project
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of Aerospace Technologies has identified a technology objective stating:
“While maintaining safety, triple the aviation system throughput, in all weather conditions, within 10 years.”
To respond to this technology objective, NASA has created the Aviation System Capacity Program which has developed a roadmap describing how NASA will meet this objective (see http://www.aero-space.nasa.gov/goals/fg/index4/goal4.htm for details).
One step on this roadmap is the Advanced Air Transportation Technologies (AATT) Project. By the year 2004, AATT will have contributed to this technology objective by developing technologies that will increase flexibility, predictability and efficiency, thereby leading to increases in system capacity. AATT’s objective is to improve the overall performance of the National Airspace System (NAS) as a whole. A stronger, more efficient, and less expensive aviation-transportation system will benefit the nation in two ways. First, the flying public and private sector will directly benefit from reduced transportation costs and increased schedule/connectivity. Second, the general public will indirectly benefit from the resulting economic growth (national productivity and gross national product) enabled by a more productive and efficient transportation system. The mechanism for improving the NAS as a whole is to improve the operations of both the system users (e.g., airlines, general aviation) and the Air Traffic Service Providers (ATSP).
