Integrating information towards Digital ATM Aircraft Access to SWIM “SWIM in the Sky” Presented By: Jon Standley, ANG-C53 Paul Jackson, ANG-B2 Date: August 28, 2013
What is AAtS? • Aircraft Access to SWIM (AAtS) • Establishes airborne component of ground based System Wide Information Management (SWIM) Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) • Facilitates exchange of aeronautical information between pilots and other National Airspace System (NAS) users • Facilitates a commonly sourced/shared aviation information environment for collaborative decision making • Leverages existing air/ground network service providers’ infrastructure and technologies • Supports global interoperability/harmonization with similar systems/capabilities 2
Aircraft Access to SWIM Aircraft Access to SWIM DMS = Data Management System DMS = Data Management Service 3
Why AAtS? • Aircraft Access to SWIM (AAtS) • Determines the level of service necessary to exchange information with FAA SWIM • Identifies the quality of service on the piece of information/information packages available • Develop recommendations for NAS operators to understand what is required for implementation 4
AAtS vs. Data Comm • AAtS provides advisory information to aircraft for strategic planning purposes. It is NOT critical to safety of flight. • Data Comm provides command and control instructions to aircraft over a secure data link • AAtS evaluates services rendered when accessing specific FAA SWIM information packages. • AAtS demonstrations identify recommendations from the FAA to industry participants of the items/resources necessary to receive SWIM information
Current AAtS Activities • Concept definition: • AAtS Concept of Operations Update (Uplink/Downlink) • Revised AAtS Technical Concept to include Uplink and Downlink of Information • Technical investigations: • Security aspects, Data priority and preemption, etc. • OWS-9 (Open Geospatial Consortium Web Services)Sponsorship • AAtS Operational Demonstrations • Conducting live operational flight demonstrations of information uplink • Corporate/business aircraft • Domestic/commercial aircraft • Live operational flight demonstrations of information uplink AND downlink will begin in FY14 7
Some General Terms • DMS – Data Management Service • DLSP – Data Link Service Provider • EFB – Electronic Flight Bag • AOC/FOC – Airline Operations Center / Flight Operations Center • AIS – Aeronautical Information Services • MET – Meteorological Information Services • AIM – FAA Aeronautical Information Management • CSS-Wx – FAA Common Support Services - Weather
NetJets AAtS Operations • First Demonstration – March 21, 2013 • 3 Flights • DMS – Honeywell • DLSP – Aircell • Aircraft – Gulfstream 200 • EFB – Apple iPad (2nd Generation) • EFB Application - ERAU • AOC – ERAU
Virgin America AAtS Operations • First Demonstration – July 18, 2013 (Two Phase Flight) • San Francisco (SFO) to Las Vegas (LAS) • LAS to SFO • Second Demonstration – August 12, 2013 (Two Phase Flight) • San Francisco (SFO) to Seattle (SEA) • SEA to SFO • DMS – ERAU • DLSP – GoGo • Aircraft – A319 • EFB – NavAero (Windows XP OS) • EFB Application – ERAU • AOC/FOC – Virgin America OCC
Other Related Activities • AAtS is involved and/or coordinating with other similar efforts to deliver information to aircraft • Developing operational concepts/technical aspects to create a seamless sharing/exchange information environment between providers and users of NAS information • Examples include: • RTCA SC-206 – AIS and MET data link (developing recommendations and standards for use by the FAA) • AEEC 830 – Air Ground Information Exchange (developing an aviation industry standard) • SESAR – SWIM Air Ground (the European version of AAtS) 11
AAtS Working Group • The Aircraft Access to SWIM (AAtS) Working Group (AWG) will act as an operational and technical discussion forum for AAtS concepts • Establishing an understanding of how the industry envisions AAtS and its uses is a key element • The AWG meets quarterly at locations hosted by industry participants • September 12, 2013 from 1300-1600 • The Boeing Company, Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia • January 23, 2014 from 1300-1600, TBD • May 15, 2014 from 1300-1600, TBD
AAtS Working Group Goals • Develop and share ideas which contribute to the evolution and validation of AAtS • Identify use cases and operational scenarios for AAtS activities • Enhance the utility of AAtS in providing an efficient use of the NAS and increased global interoperability with other SWIM systems
AAtS Implementation Guidance • Use: • Implementation Guidance Document is: • Not a draft working paper (i.e., can be referenced) • Available publicly now in addition to the previous limited release • (http://www.aircraftaccesstoswim.com/sites/default/files/documents/AAtS%20Implementation%20Guidance%20Doc%20V1.0.pdf) • Being reviewed by AEEC 830/839, Data Link Users Forum, and SAI Subcommittee as well as ICAO • Implementation Guidance Document allows: • Operators and implementers to begin planning their implementations • FAA Aviation Safety to plan future guidance work • RTCA Special Committee-206 to reference the document’s concepts 14
AAtS Technical Research Presented By: Paul Jackson, ANG-B2
Technical Research Areas • Information exchange challenges • Interoperability/Standards Harmonization
AAtS Information Exchange • Areas of research interest • Security / subnet • Wired vs wireless • Priority / preemption • Uplink / downlink • Tasked to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University • Develop overall test environment/strategy • Identify mitigation/implementation recommendations
Interoperability/Standards Harmonization • Objective • Evaluate the industry standards applicable to AAtS air/ground information exchange • Identify requirement similarities/gaps/integration points • Create a framework to recommend and test a harmonized architecture to address both domestic and international interests • Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Led Team • AGIE/MAGIC • RTCA SC-206 • OGC • Approach • Engaging the community in the process • Performing a deep dive into relevant standards • Recommending a harmonized architecture • Prototyping high-priority aspects of the architecture using community-provided assets
Interoperability/Standards Harmonization • Preliminary schedule
