System Wide Information Management Presentation to ATMAC

1. System Wide Information Management Presentation to ATMAC October 2006 Donald Ward SWIM Program Manager ATO Technical Operations Services

2. SWIM Host ETMS WARP IDS/ERIDS ASDE ATOP ERAM STARS/ ARTS/ TAMR CIWS Inter-Agency TMA TFM State of the System Business as Usual - More point-to-point unique interfaces - Costly development, test, maintenance, CM - New decisions linked to old data constructs - Cumbersome data access outside of NAS Today Enterprise Management - Fewer open, COTS-based, secure, access points for new systems and external data customers - Reduced development, test, maintenance, CM - Decisions no longer geographically linked to data sources - Existing point-to-point hardwired NAS - Unique interfaces, custom designs - New system integration difficult and expensive - Complex and costly maintenance and test

3. FAA Users U.S. DOD Core Services Directory, Discovery, Security, Registry International U.S. DHS SWIM – FAA Initiative to Develop a Network-Enabled Community More data at more decision points for use by more decision makers Weather Flight Data Aero Info Surveillance Communities of Interest NAS Status

4. SWIM Program Office COI-1 COI-4 SWIM Program Office COI-2 COI-5 COI-3 COI-1 Tech Ops Service Unit TerminalService Unit En RouteService Unit Sys OpsService Unit COI-4 COI-2 COI-5 COI-3 Program Execution with Communities of Interest • Communities of Interest are driven by operational/ business needs • Communities share information to meet the operational need in a way that is: • Evolvable: Information exchanged can be expanded and adjusted as the mission evolves • Open, visible, and understandable: new producers and consumers can be added to enable new operational concepts without major impact on existing systems

5. Segment 4 Core Services Segment 1 Segment 2 Segment 3 COI-1 Segment 1 Segment 2 COI-2 COI-3 Segment 4 COI-4 Segment 3 COI-5 FY09+ SWIM Segmentation Approach • Communities of Interest exploring new SWIM-enabled operational concepts • SWIM to be implemented in operational segments: • Minimize risk • Synchronize capital investment with projected benefits • Support incremental capabilities evolution proposed for NGATS • Incremental development based on: • Needs of various COIs • Maturity of concepts of use • Segments that fit cost, schedule, and risk thresholds

6. Community of Interest Engineering – Status • Flight and Flow COI • Developing an operational model based on exchange of flight information between En Route (ERAM), Traffic Flow Management, and Terminal/tower systems • Aeronautical Information COI • COI established in early August • Rapid progress is centered on the distribution of Special Use Airspace (SUA) status information • Weather COI • Emphasis is placed on the “weather cube” block of information which will encapsulate all relevant weather information • Working in collaboration with JPDO Weather IPT and is investigating the interchange of weather data between FAA, DoD, NWS, and industry

7. DOC ACTIVITIES AND STATUS WJHTC Development Operations Center (DOC) Net centric SWIM technology laboratory with the infrastructure being developed for NGATS concept development, demonstration, evaluation, testing and integration. NWS Planned Early 07 Hi-Res Models,Space WX, & Climatology Planned Early 07 AFWA NIC GIG AFCCC WFHQ OWS WX PBA ENABLING INFRASTRUCTURE DEMONSTRATIONS • Joint Network Enabled Operations (NEO) Spiral 1 • Validate and evaluate the ability of SWIM core services and capabilities for information management between NAS Systems and those of other authorities. • Status: Planning and requirements being finalized. DOC infrastructure being planned. • Global Air Traffic Interoperability (GATI) • Validate and evaluate the ability of NEO/SWIM services and capabilities to manage information to improve planning, coordination and management of air traffic in oceanic airspace • Validate use of NEO/SWIM for 4D trajectory management operations. • Status: Detailed planning in progress. DOC Infrastructure being implemented. • Weather Information Sharing • Perform integration of weather products/weather networks with operational systems through instances of NEO to demonstrate improved operational performance when weather information is more readily available • Support 2012 IOC NGATS weather capability • Status: Requirements being generated for iterative proof of concept demos. Infrastructure development underway

8. Benefits Story SWIM Benefits will fall into three main categories: • Direct Cost Savings to FAA • Status quo in FAA consists of custom interfaces for each connection • SWIM will implement “enterprise interfaces” which will significantly reduce the cost of future connections (F&E and O&M savings) • User Benefits • SWIM has been acknowledged as a foundation system for the evolution of NGATS. • ATO Planning will model the benefits for NGATS that are assigned to SWIM via greater efficiency and capacity • Continuity of Service • The Enterprise Security team has identified SWIM as a program which can solve some of the obstacles with Continuity of Service • As specific solutions are identified, benefits will be assigned to SWIM accordingly

9. Industry Input for SWIM • NGATS Institute • Enabling mechanism for gathering and applying the best expertise from industry and government • Facilitates industry input and recommendations without creating organizational conflicts for future procurements • SWIM program office and MITRE are initiating work with NGATS Institute to establish a SWIM Working Group • Program Office will look at methods to facilitate more interaction with aviation customers • Future participate with Communities of Interest? • Leverage existing FAA/Aviation work groups?
