Mitre Corp.'s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) unveiled AviationSimNet, a new specification for interconnecting real-time air traffic management (ATM) simulations over the public Internet.
The specification was designed to give the aviation sector the ability to test and evaluate new air traffic management systems, concepts and procedures through simulations, which are geographically distributed among research laboratories, academic institutions, commercial enterprises and airlines.
AviationSimNet is reusable, reconfigurable, extensible, scalable and flexible, according to CAASD. The specification was built from existing simulation and communications standards, including the High-Level Architecture (HLA), TCP/IP and IEEE Voice DIS 1278.1a.
The ASA Langley Research Center, United Parcel Service, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, the FAA’s William J. Hughes Technical Center and other aviation experts helped developed the specification.
