PRELIMINARY FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF INTEGRATED FLOW MANAGEMENT

A preliminary functional description of Integrated Flow Management (IFM) is documented in this report. The objective is to provide a strawman concept so that further IFM development activities will proceed from a common reference point based upon agreement among all related program organizations. The distribution of flow management functions among the various ATC facilities and the related interfacility communications requirements are central issues addressed in this report. A road map projection of the IFM near term evolution through the late 1980s and remaining open issues related to the IFM development are also presented. (Author)
