7. En Route Applications See and Avoid
Delegated Pairwise Separation Operations
Airborne Separation in Specified Airspace
“VFR like” Autonomy Operation (2020)
Benefits
No increase to ATCO workload
Enhanced all-weather “see & avoid”: This capability provides flight crews with a display of the location of other traffic to enhance safety
Delegated pair-wise separation ops: This capability increases efficiency and capacity without increasing service provider workload by providing flight crews with displays and procedures for delegated self-separation from another specific aircraft. Examples include passing, crossing, and turn behind. Supporting activity include research on procedure for separation based on surveillance performance and not the source (RSP activity).
Airborne self-separation in specified airspace: This capability involves delegating separation authority to aircraft within a specified airspace boundary
“VFR-like” autonomy en route: This capability provides aircraft in IMC with the freedom of route selection, see & avoid, and autonomy from air traffic service providers currently enjoyed today in VFR flight.

8. Terminal Applications
High Density Airspace
In Trail Spacing
Spacing and Merging
Low Density Airspace
Low Visibility Approaches
Self Separation: Non-Towered, Non-Radar Airports - SATS (2010+)
Benefits
Efficiency and Capacity Enhancement
In-trail self-spacing: This capability provides flight crews with displays and spacing guidance to enable more accurate adherence to separation standards, enhancing capacity at high-density airports.
Self-spacing during merging: This capability provides flight crews with a displays and spacing guidance to enable highly efficient merging, enhancing capacity at high-density airports.
Low-visibility approaches to any “air portal”: This capability enables pilots to safely perform approach and landing operations in low-visibility conditions with minimal ground-based infrastructure.
Self-separation at non-towered, non-radar airports: This capability employs airborne separation assurance and cost-effective sequencing automation to enable simultaneous operations in IMC at non-towered, non-radar airports.
This is the NASA lead SATS activity.

9. Surface Applications Traffic Situational Awareness on Airport Surface
Taxi Route Situational Awareness
Surface Conflict Detection and Alerting (2009+)
Virtual Tower – See and Avoid
Benefits
Efficiency and Situational Awareness
Traffic SA on airport surface: This capability provides flight crews with a display of the location of traffic on the airport surface, enhancing safety and efficiency for both taxi and runway operations in low visibility and at night.
Taxi route SA: This capability provides flight crews with a display of the assigned taxi route on a moving-map display of the airport surface, reducing the likelihood of taxi route errors in low visibility and at night.
Surface conflict detection and alerting: This capability provides an added layer of safety by providing flight crews with traffic conflict detection and alerting during approach, landing, and surface operations.
