This paper discusses research being conducted in the United States to identify potential reduction in air traffic route and aircraft separation standards, using improved navigation and surveillance capabilities. Reduced separation would assist in addressing airspace and airport capacity issues caused by traffic growth and by adverse weather conditions.
