As a part of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is developing an advanced airborne Merging and Spacing (M and S) concept utilizing satellite-based surveillance information provided by Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). The M and S concept is defined as Airborne Spacing-Flight deck Interval Management (ASPA-FIM), which includes both a ground component and an airborne component including a speed control algorithm as a part of the Interval Management (IM) capability. The ground based function establishes a sequence for an IM aircraft conducting ASPA-FIM procedure to merge behind another designated target aircraft at a waypoint with a desired spacing interval, and then maintain the desired spacing interval. The aircraft achieve the spacing requirement through speed commands generated by Interval Management (IM) equipment in the aircraft.
