  1. Net-Enabled Test Environment (NETE) Update SWIM Net Centric Demos and Prototypes TIM May 4, 2011 Germaine Forbes Test and Evaluation Manager, JPDO Wen Zhu Alion Science and Technology

  2. Agenda • Overview • Mission and Concept • Strategy • NETE Accomplishments To-Date • NETE baseline modeling task • Ongoing NETE Demonstrations • Opportunities • NETE Communication Validation (Demo 0) • NETE Information Exchange Demonstrations • Semantic Registry, Ontology Portal • Challenges and Lessons Learned

  3. JPDO/NCOD Mission • Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) • Ensure the NextGen Air Transportation System transformation is realized by identifying, facilitating and integrating the activities, commitments and contributions of partner agencies, industry, and other key stakeholders to achieve the goals and benefits of the Next Generation Air Transportation System. • Net-Centric Operations Division (NCOD) • Manage policies and strategies for information sharing and coordinate investment and development of network-enhancing capabilities.

  4. NCOD Information-Sharing Development Strategy Select Operational Thread ID Inter-agency functional appeal Identify Processes/ Decisions Concept of Operations (ConOps) scenarios, actors Users, service levels, security requirements, authoritative sources Describe Info Exchanges Describe Info Exchanges Connectivity, speeds, bandwidth, standards Derive Infrastructure Requirements Design Info Exchanges Design Info Exchanges Iterative approach allows incorporation of industry advancements Validate, experiment, measure value Design Info Exchanges Perform Inter-organizational Testing and Evaluation Adoption is an option—endorse efforts already underway Transition to Operations

  5. Net- Enabled Test Environment (NETE) • Concept • Virtual Test environment – no new facility • Industry and Government participation • Experimental approach – test, measure, evaluate, adjust • Adopting existing projects; leveraging progress • Benefits • Data sets made available will bring interested developers • Allows demonstration of concepts to flesh out requirements • Allows trade-off studies for architectural decisions – standards, processes, TTPs, tools, infrastructure design • Tests Governance model for efficacy • Accessible to all NextGen participants; can link to outside data sources/consumers • Leverages work already done by NextGen Stakeholders

  6. NETE Accomplishments To-date • Inter-agency Collaboration Framework • Inter-agency Infrastructure Modeling • Network Connectivity Verification (Demo 0) • NETE Governance • Draft Information Sharing Agreements • Collaboration Tools • Baseline Security Profile

  7. NETE Infrastructure Modeling • Rich Set of metrics and measures collected in NETE Simulation Model • Enables performance analysis, study of alternatives etc. • Message exchange pattern traces to enable Information service “playback”

  8. Multi-layered Model Design • Network Scenarios capturing interconnection between NETE Agencies • Intra Agency Site models abstracting real-world agency network/service architecture based on interactions with ESC, NASA and FAA • Custom models of SOA-capable devices from application to physical layers

  9. Opportunities • Build on the Foundation of Interagency Collaborations • NETE Working Group as a forum for addressing governance issues • On-going NETE infrastructure modeling initiative to provide a snapshot of the interagency network and SOA infrastructures • Participating from agencies critical to success of NETE • Support Effective Information Sharing and Engagements of Community of Interests (COI) • JPDO is engaging with NextGen weather and integrated surveillance community to identify information exchanges • NETE supports information sharing goals by providing a platform for exploration, experimentation, and socialization of information exchange services • Facilitate 1 Year Challenge Demonstration • Incremental approach progressing with participation with select demos • Serve as a risk reduction environment for summer demonstrations

  10. Opportunities (Continued) • Participation with FAA Program Priorities • FAA Tech Center/ R&D Domain • DEX Rel 6 (FTI/Harris) • SWIM • NEO • Federal and Industry Participation • Northrup Grumman NNEW • JPL • NASA LaRC (Services, Registry) • DoD Participation • Hanscom AFB, ESC • CoT • UAVs • Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID)

  11. NETE Demonstration Objectives • Demonstrate the NCOD’s approach to secure and effective information sharing by leveraging Semantic Web Service Architecture (SWSA) • Exercise information exchanges developed in collaboration with Integrated Surveillance community • Demonstrate ontology-driven approach to enhance service discoverability and interoperability • Elaborate key infrastructure components (e.g. Semantic Service Registry) of SWSA • Demonstrate NETE as a platform for inter-agency demonstrations • Showcase the ability to execute distributed demonstration involving multiple agencies • Refine process to facilitate future NETE demonstrations • Serve as a risk reduction environment for JPDO summer demonstrations • Improve confidence on the Lost Cargo Jet business scenario

  12. Planned NETE Demonstrations 3/2011 • Communication Validation Demonstration (Demo 0) prepares NETE as the platform for Information Exchange Demonstrations • Establish connectivity among initial NETE nodes • Verify ability to share information through web services • Initiate discussions on security and business relationships • Information Exchange Demonstration (Demo 1) establishes the software and service framework for Information Exchange Demonstrations • Exercise information exchanges related to integrated surveillance • Demonstrate key components of the semantic web service infrastructure (e.g. Semantic Service Registry) • Information Exchange Demonstration (Demo 2) focuses on reducing risks for JPDO 1 Year challenge demonstration • Exercise information exchanges related to integrated surveillance 5/2011 8/2011 One Year Challenge

  16. Information Exchange Demonstration 1 Scenario: Lost Cargo Jet Demonstrates how surveillance information and air domain awareness capabilities are employed to identify, detect, assess and respond to potential airborne terrorist activities in open range airspace within the continental United States (CONUS). Information Exchanges Demonstrated • Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) • Flight Info • Track Info • Threat Info • Weather Data • Role Plays • Airport Personnel • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) • Department of Defense (DOD) • Department of Homeland Security (DHS) • Local and State Law Enforcement Participating Locations NETE Nodes

  17. Information Exchange Demonstrations: Status • Preparing Distributed Demonstration Environment • Working with NETE Participants • Development Semantic Service Registry • Leveraging Open Source Solutions • Development of Demonstration UI • Based on the Lost Cargo Jet Scenario • Discovering Available Data Sources • Obtained Access to SWIM Registry We are looking for sources for Air Track, Weather, Integrated Surveillance data
