  1. FAA Labs in a Distributed and Collaborative Environment to Support V&V William J. Hughes Technical Center October 10, 2012

  2. Tech Center Labs (Big Picture) External Facilities High Fidelity NAS Labs DoD DREN Oceanic - Florida TB - NASA NTX - Research Partners - e.g Boeing Cockpit Simulators - NASA LaRC - NASA Ames Common ARTS Voice Comm STARS ERAM NAV Air R&D Domain External Enclave NIEC Display Lab Specialty Labs NextGen Surveillance (Live ADS-B Data) Data Comm UAS Simulation SWIM Simulated RADAR(s) 3600 Tower Simulator Traffic Flow Mgmt Target Generation Facility (Aircraft Simulation) Weather Cockpit Simulator AOC Dispatch Position TMU Work Stations Tower Simulator ATC Simulation Weather Displays TMU Displays

  3. NextGen R&D Domain External Enclave ARTP WJHTC NTX FTB

  4. Distributed Simulation Demonstration Distributed testing environment demonstrated in August, 2012. Multiple aircraft simulators (located at 5 different facilities) flying within common airspace simulated by the NIEC Display Laboratory NIEC Display Lab Tower Simulator - DFW Center Tower ATC Simulator – DFW TRACON Five Individual Cockpit Simulators NASA AMES Boeing 747 DoDNavAirPax River RQ7 Shadow Boeing Palmdale Boeing 737 Boeing Philadelphia V22 Osprey FAA WJHTC Airbus 320

  5. Successful Collaboration Shows “we can” have a more integrated Government and Industry platform to perform T&E activities Tech Center Labs are integral part of that platform Shows “we can” overcome: technical challenges of data exchange using different IT frameworks. cultural challenges of working with different organizations outside FAA Multiple tools & protocols used to share data & voice DoD’s Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) Joint Mission Environment Test Capability (JMETC) Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) Aviation SimNet Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) using Plexsysequipment

  6. Show Video

  7. Lessons Learned • Mostly Administrative / Cultural • Need to get agreements in place ahead of time • Learned that some organizations need to figure out employees charge their time • Learned about approval processes (e.g. OK to show video of each others capabilities) • Intellectual Property Concerns • Some Technical • IT Security • Different networks and databases • Ways to address latency issues

  8. Going Forward • Keep momentum going by setting up future CRDA’s and possibly regular working groups • Identify the key ATC and aircraft/avionics issues this capability could address • Can this capability can be leveraged across the whole acquisition lifecycle? • Address intellectual property and security concerns
