  1. TARGETS Enabling NextGen With Advanced Procedure Design Software October 22, 2013

  2. TARGETS History • TARGETS was developed by MITRE/Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) and has been maintained and enhanced by CSSI for the FAA for over ten years. • TARGETS is the primary tool for the Air Traffic PBN procedure design process within the FAA. • TARGETS also serves as a research and development platform for NextGen. • TARGETS development history is best described as continuous change. It has been quickly and successfully modified to keep pace with the changing RNAV and PBN procedure design environment. • TARGETS success is a credit to Java, object oriented design, the original design developed at MITRE, and additional R&D efforts with a focus on user needs.

  3. TARGETS Mission: Three Functionalities • Terminal • Area • Route • Generation • Evaluation & • Traffic • Simulation

  4. Route Generation • TARGETS has access to multiple FAA navigation and obstacle databases, the DOD databases, and others. • TARGETS has route drawing and measurement tools. • TARGETS has been updated to accommodate arrivals that serve multiple airports: • Multiple arrival database procedures can be combined into a single RNAV STAR. • Runway transitions can be assigned to multiple runways. • Common routes with no runway transitions can be assigned to multiple airports.

  6. Evaluation • Next generation flight evaluator engine is in the process of replacing the existing flyability engine: • Provides improved flight performance accuracy for Optimized Profile Descent (OPD) and Metroplex designs. • Includes flight of RF legs. • TARGETS is now validated for running TERPS/obstacle analysis on RNAV arrivals (STARs).

  7. Evaluation Demo

  8. Traffic Simulation • TARGETS simulation capabilities continue to be enhanced: • The new flight evaluator engine is used in simulation. • Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) and Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) screening of procedure designs using the simulation features have been added.
