  1. Network Enabled Operations (NEO)Spiral II Demonstration and Prototyping Information Exchange Briefing Wes Wright, Manager, AJP-673 May 4, 2011

  2. Description • NEO is an Operations Research Program utilizing Core Technology Services • Through Congressional Language, NEO will apply net-centric information sharing capabilities in support of UAS Operations in the NAS • Leverage prior NEO Demonstration Spirals and UAS-FAA Industry Team (UFIT) studies

  3. Description Couple GE 4DT FMS to AAI RQ-7 Shadow Simulator and Live Aircraft Pass Aircraft Intent through Boeing and Lockheed Ground-based Trajectory Prediction Engines Generate 4D Trajectory Definition and represent visually on FAA Automation Systems (STARS and ERAM) Utilize Airspace Volume of Interest (AVOI) and Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Messages to enhance airspace coordination Operate UAS in both normal operations and abnormal “loss of control link” situations 3

  4. Why? FAA Air Traffic R&D has identified key problem areas affecting UAS integration to the NAS Loss of Control Link is primary area that applying NEO net-centric technology could assist or mitigate By dynamically sharing aircraft intent during lost link situations as well as dynamic protection areas with AVOIs, airspace can be managed and coordinated more efficiently between levels of Air Traffic and the operators 4

  5. Key Players • Prime Contractor: Boeing AATM, Chantilly, VA • AAI Textron • Avaliant • Boeing Research & Technology Europe • Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University • GE Aviation Systems • Hafner Engineering • Harris Corporation • IBM • Lockheed Martin • Raytheon • Tectura

  6. Key Players Additional Support for Simulation, Modeling and Operations Planning Provided by FAA Engineering Development Services (AJP-65) at the William J Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, NJ Facilities and Infrastructure Support for Simulation and Demonstration provided by William J Hughes Technical Center Laboratory Services Support 6

  7. Major Milestones/Goals • Engineering Activity 1 – May 18 • Plans to On-Ramp NEO Core Services to the Harris DEX in set of dynamic information sharing exercises • Demonstration Plan Initial Draft – June 30 • Explains in detail the plans and procedures for demonstrating net-centric information sharing capabilities in normal and abnormal UAS operations

  8. Major Milestones/Goals • Demonstration 5 – September 22 • Limited Simulation-Based Demonstration of Strategic UAS Flight Scenarios utilizing 4D Trajectory Based Operations and Dynamic Information Sharing with AAI RQ-7 Shadow Simulator • Demonstration 6 – November 16 • Integrated Live Flight of AAI RQ-7 Shadow at Warren Grove Test Range, NJ incorporating 4D Trajectory Flight Ops and Dynamic Information Sharing with both STARS and ERAM

  9. Recent Accomplishments • Operations White Paper – March 23 • Engineering Activity 0 – April 20 • Coordinated with UAS Program Office in FAA Flight Standards on Research Objectives
