Nautical Minute Discretisation offers ATM simulation and prediction fidelity capability that uses a common unit for controlling entities under its concern. With flight path optimisation software altered to utilize this unit, an ATM simulator can be created that combines increased span of control with faster iteration of optimisation methods.
