In Fiscal Year 2001 (FY01), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) asked The MITRE Corporations Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) to facilitate incorporating the Collaborative Routing Coordination Tools (CRCT) functions into the Traffic Flow Management (TFM) Infrastructure (TFM-I). This technology transfer taskwas carried out differently from the more traditional method of moving an existing research system from the concept development research stage to the prototype development production stage. Instead of providing a contractor with a completed system ready to be hardened and supported, CAASD was asked to transfer CRCT functions deemed operationally mature by the FAA to the TFM-I contractor, Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (VNTSC), for incorporation into the Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS). Therefore, the challenge is integrating these functions into an existing infrastructure.
