Assessing Free Flight Airspace Complexity using Nautical Minute Discretisation
Nautical Minute Discretisation (NMD) based systems allow fusion of both tactical air traffic control (ATC) and strategic air traffic management (ATM) techniques in a real time and flexible manner, using currently used ATC technology. Further, its application and development directly and smoothly connects current ATC and ATM to their future automated counterparts, despite their different methodologies. NMD starts off as an ATC accuracy augmentation tool that provides accurate assessment of potential conflict in combination with real time trajectory predictions that mesh efficiently with high density weather predictions. Once ATC are satisfied, more inherent NMD capability is released, giving ATC capabilities useful at that stage of development. These capabilities include: near direct flight between airports, even where non direct air route structures are needed for ATC support; near autonomous resolution of potential conflicts; and eventually, tactical control of strategic manipulation of air traffic to allow concertive ATM across sectors and continents.
