The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has initiated total modernization of its air traffic control (ATC) automation system. This new system, called the Advanced Automation System (ASS), has the following characteristics: large size (over one million lines of application code); real-time, data-processing availability and reliability requirements that approach 1.0; a system life of 20 to 30 yr; changing data sources and function over time; and implementation without interruption of current ATC service. The authors describe the activities and approach that the FAA has adopted to integrate the man-machine interface (MMI) into the design process. They emphasize the application of the MMI design methodology by the FAA prior to the design-competition-phase award, describing the critical role of the controller requirements validation team and MMI experts.
