The Experimental Flight Management System (EFMS) program, part of a European collaborative research program called PHARE (Program for Harmonized ATM (Air Traffic Management) Research in Eurocontrol), which aims to investigate a future ATM scenario, is described. The EFMS will incorporate some revolutionary features, of which the most important are to plan and fly a four dimensional trajectory and to negotiate that trajectory via a digital data link with air traffic control. Development is a multinational activity of the aerospace centers of Germany, France, England and the Netherlands, coordinated by Eurocontrol. A first demonstration is planned for Jan. 1993. A number of applications of the EFMS program are described, most notably the avionic research test bed.
