  2. Presenters Christina Recascino – Vice President for Research, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Douglas Sweigard – Senior Program Manager, Aviation Programs, Lockheed Martin Co. Wade Lester – Director of NextGen Research, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

  3. Integrated Airport: The History • Nearly 800 million passengers fly each year • On 789,000 flights • Logging more than 60 billion miles • On planes who have an average load capacity of 80%

  4. History • Problems abound in the air transportation system • Fewer On-time arrivals • Mechanical delays • Weather delays • Lost luggage • Near mid-air collisions • Incursions • Gate to Gate delays • Fatal Mishaps

  5. NextGen • To modernize the air management system in the United States, the JPDO was created to spearhead the NextGen movement • In 2005, ERAU and Lockheed Martin began discussions of setting up a University-Private-Public partnership whose mission was to tackle issues related to testing and implementation of NextGen concepts

  6. The Integrated Airport was born • Mission: Accelerate NextGen through technology demonstrations that integrate near-term NextGen enhancements • Embry-Riddle and Lockheed Martin are the lead partners in the Integrated Airport Consortium

  7. Joined by: CSC Ensco Boeing Jeppesen Mosaic ATM Frequentis Sensis Harris Barco NATS UK Volpe Research Center

  8. Overview of Consortium • Creation of non-binding MOU that all partners sign • Agree to work on projects related to NextGen – as decided by planning group • Companies are required to contribute IRAD funds

  9. Accomplishments • 2007 Establishment of NextGenTestbed at Daytona Beach International Airport and opening demonstration • 2008 First technical demonstration creating an AWIM and data sharing across partner systems • 2008 Received $2 million in federal support through the FAA to support the testbed and engage in NextGen demonstration – Predictive Weather Integrated into the TMA systems using a SWIM platform

  10. Present and Future • 2008 Established a contractual agreement with the FAA through Embry-Riddle • Funding goes to consortium for technology demonstrations that accelerate NextGen concepts, as contracted by the FAA • Goal is demonstration and evaluation of concepts providing information to the FAA that can lead to implementation

  11. Future Plans • March 11, 2009 • Next demonstration focuses on International Flight Data Object Sharing • 2009 and forward • Working with the FAA to establish the next sets of demo for 2009 and 2010

  12. AIRE NASA Integrated Airport Green Approach Mitre Planning Demonstrations & Ops Evaluation Research Many Efforts Underway A Complex Challenge Surface Evaluations Many Existing or Emerging Solutions Current National Airspace Systems Emerging New Systems An Integrated Approach is Essential … But How Do We Get There???

  13. Limitations of Today’s Systems Oceanic En Route Arrival Departure A/P Takeoff A/P Ramp A/P Ramp Airlines (AOC) Today’s System Lacks Common Situational Awareness A/P Systems TSA ATC A/P Landing TFM Unique, Limited Flight Data Interfaces Ramp • Different System Information, Trajectory and Problem view causes uncertainty & inefficiency • Limited Interoperability Between ATC system domains and Airport Stakeholders • Unpredictable Results Lead to System Delays and Operational Costs System Limitations Result in Increased Passenger Delays and Airline Costs

  14. En Route Oceanic En Route Arrival TFM Departure Airlines A/P Landing A/P Takeoff A/P (Ramp) A/P (Ramp) FAA’s NextGen Implementation Plan Makes the Vision Happen • High Density Airports • Initial Surface Traffic Management • Integrated Arrival/Departure Management • Trajectory-Based Ops • 4D Trajectory Management • Capacity and Efficiency Using RNP/RNAV • Time-Based Metering • Flexible Terminals & Facilities • Full Surface Situation Info • Optimized Profile Descent • Runway Safety Alerting • Tower Data Link Taxi Clearance • Wind and Wake Procedures ATC A/P Systems TSA Ramp We must enable broad access to A/P Info!! ADS-B, Data Communications SWIM Enablers (Weather, FDO, trajectory) Terminal Data Distribution • Collaborative ATM • Flight Plan Constraint Evaluation • On-Demand NAS Information • Trajectory Flight Data Management • Reduce Weather Impact • Trajectory-Based Weather Impact Evaluation NextGen Can Deliver Integrated Operational Improvements and Enablers That Deliver Operational Benefit

  15. IAI Planning Process • Conduct Annual IAI Planning Activity • Re-examine the IAI Objectives • Objectives • Discuss Each Member’s R&D Goals for the year • Relative to the IAI Activity • Goals are evaluated for common threads • Jointly Develop Plan • Leverages collective R&D efforts • Produce Integrated threads that can be demonstrated • Ideally look at 2-5 year activity stream • Laboratory demos -> Operational Evals/Trials -> Leave Behind Functions • Artifacts

  16. Integrated Airport Goals Implement trajectory-based decision-making Long-term vision Leverage industry investment and capability Solve near-term NAS problems Build on FAA’s OEP NextGen Implementation Plan Early evaluation leading to operational implementation Integrate stakeholders via common information sharing Phased Evaluation Approach

  17. Collaborative, Trajectory-based Flight Planning • Recommendation • Operational evaluation leading to near-term implementation of oceanic & en route collaborative flight planning • Approach • Op Evaluation Phases • 1. Airline – Oceanic collaboration (A/L files early intent, receives oceanic constraint evaluation) • 2. Airline – En Route collaboration (A/L files early intent, receives en route constraint evaluation) • 3. Accelerate SWIM to enable Oceanic – En Route trajectory-based exchange and planning • Demonstrations and Operational Evaluation leading to near-term implementation • Airline, FAA and International ANSP Stakeholder participation • Benefits Goal • User business-preferred flight profiles (Schedule predictability, fuel savings) • Ability to react to system constraint changes (Pre-Flight and during flight) … Maintain Predictability • Seamless airspace operations … Enhances flow and reduces delays • NextGen Enablers • Extends FDO … International FDO interoperability • Demonstrates SWIM and Trajectory-Based Enabler benefits • Supports user-preferred optimum descent profile planning applications

  18. Why Does Anybody Care About Demo? • Benefits: • Initial SWIM-based FDO/trajectory integration (En Route, Oceanic, A/L Flight Planner, Intl ANSP, TFM) • User-preferred Pre-Flight Planning (Fuel-Efficiency, predictability) across multiple domains • International flight data coordination • Consolidate flight plan filing across multiple domains • 08 lab scenarios and 09/10 Op Evaluations measure airspace customer benefits relative to baselines • FY09 Funding Areas: • TBO - Oceanic Tactical Trajectory Mgmt • TBO – Trajectory Management Enablers • SWIM • Key OEP OIs: • Oceanic 4D Trajectory Management (D1) • Full flight plan constraint evaluation with feedback • Key JPDO OIs • OI-0304 Improved Collaborative Oceanic Routing (2013) (D1 – first phase)) • OI-0300 Improved Collaborative Pre-Flight Re-Routing (2012) (D1, D2) • OI-0302 Initial Collaborative In-Flight Re-Routing (2013) (D1, D2) • Related IWP Investments: • IN-0004 TBO Multiple Trajectories 09-11: Multiple FP filed trajectories (D1) • IN-0005 TBO Oceanic Collaborative ATM 09: Pre-Dep, collaborative, en route evaluator, TAs (D1) • IN-0073 Infrastructure Engineering for TBO (09) (D1) • IN-0007 TBO Flight Object and SWIM (09) (D1) • IN-0052 Network Facilities NextGen Development Environment (D1, D2, D3)
