The Investment Planning and Analysis (IP&A) Research group requires a general-purpose trajectory and target simulator software tool that provides a realistic analytical tool for evaluating the operational impacts of Air Traffic Control (ATC)/ Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. The primary output generated by this tool must be flight trajectory tracks. The tool must allow the user to set model parameters that control the statistical distribution functions from which the population of track segments is drawn. These variables are segment speed, segment length, Gaussian transverse deviation, segment altitude, start and end location of the trajectory, number of segments in a trajectory and start time.
The scope of this contract includes delivery of this general-purpose trajectory and target simulator software tool by the contractor along with an instruction manual, training, and technical support.
