User Request Evaluation Tool (URET)
MITRE's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) developed the User Request Evaluation Tool or URET to help air traffic controllers to detect and resolve potential conflicts between aircraft and between aircraft and airspace. The goal of URET is to help air traffic controllers to support a greater number of user-preferred flight profiles, increase user flexibility, and increase system capacity.
Our lab has used the prototype of URET since 1999. Initially we used the URET capability available at the Enroute Interoperability and Integration Facility, but recently we have added connectivity between our simulator and URET to our simulation environment. URET was one of the automation tools in the recent interoperability study.
