Capabilities That May Be Introduced Beyond the FFP2 Time Frame

• Surface Management System (SMS) in the tower domain
  • Surface Movement Advisor (SMA) enhancements
  • Datalink Delivery of Taxi Clearance (DDTC)
    
    
• Expansion of flight data processing capabilities beyond the en route domain into other Air Traffic Management (ATM) domains within the National Airspace System (NAS)
  
  
• Additional User Request Evaluation Tool (URET) enhancements to include automatically initiated problem resolution in the en route domain (manually initiated problem resolution may be available in the FFP2 time frame)
  
  
• Enhancements to Traffic Flow Management (TFM) capabilities
  • Multi-Center Traffic Management Advisor (TMA) (McTMA)
  • Additional collaborative decision making capabilities
  • Integrated Impact Tool
    • integrates one-dimensional impact results from Collaborative Routing Coordination Tools (CRCT), Flight Schedule Monitor (FSM), and other tools
  • Post Operative Evaluation Tool (POET)
    • compares filed or planned flight information to actual flight information based on Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS) data and carrier-supplied information
      
      
• Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) in the flight domain
