FACET: Future ATM Concepts Evaluation Tool

This article describes FACET (Future Air Traffic Concepts Evaluation Tool), which is to be used to simulate environments in order to test and develop air traffic management concepts. It can model trajectories of more than 5,000 aircraft on a desktop computer. It includes prototypes of airborne self-separation, decision support for direct routing, advanced traffic flow management techniques and the integration of the operation of space launch vehicles in the U.S. airspace.
