This paper summarizes the key characteristics of several different methods applied to encode aircraft intent in TP implementations. The differences appear to be significant. We conclude that a standardized formal method to express aircraft intent information (understood as input to the trajectory computation process) is a key enabler to achieve the required consistency. This paper identifies the need for a formal language for the common description of aircraft intent in the context of trajectory computation. Such a language, denoted as aircraft intent description language (AIDL), would allow expressing the aircraft intent with different levels of detail within a single standard unifying framework. By using the AIDL as a common standard for intent sharing, different TP clients could interoperate on the basis of a consistent input to the TP, regardless of their individual requirements. The proposed approach is considered as a possible solution to ensure interoperability among future ATM automation components.
