Air traffic management (ATM) is a system (e.g., NextGen and
SESAR) and, as such, inherits a life cycle related to benefits,
costs, effectiveness, and other considerations. Present your view
as to whether present ATM systems are either in catch-up mode or
are securely embarked into futuristic modes for safer and more
efficient commercial airline operations. Further, indicate the
implications associated with your view about how life cycle
components likely will be affected. Explain your rationale and
provide at least one scholarly source to support your position.

Hint from this journal Abstract
Objective: This article provides a critical review of
research pertaining to the measurement of human factors (HF) issues
in current and future air traffic control (ATC). Background:
Growing worldwide air traffic demands call for a radical departure
from current ATC systems. Future systems will have a fundamental
impact on the roles and responsibilities of ATC officers (ATCOs).
Valid and reliable methods of assessing HF issues associated with
these changes, such as a potential increase (or decrease) in
workload, are of utmost importance for advancing theory and for
designing systems, procedures, and training. Method: We outline
major aviation changes and how these relate to five key HF issues
in ATC. Measures are outlined, compared, and evaluated and are
followed by guidelines for assessing these issues in the ATC
domain. Recommendations for future research are presented. Results:
A review of the literature suggests that situational awareness and
workload have been widely researched and assessed using a variety
of measures, but researchers have neglected the areas of trust,
stress, and boredom. We make recommendations for use of particular
measures and the construction of new measures. Conclusion: It is
predicted that, given the changing role of ATCOs and profound
future airspace requirements and configurations, issues of stress,
trust, and boredom will become more significant. Researchers should
develop and/or refine existing measures of all five key HF issues
to assess their impact on ATCO performance. Furthermore, these
issues should be considered in a holistic manner. Application: The
current article provides an evaluation of research and measures
used in HF research on ATC that will aid research and ATC
measurement.
