Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) Col Mark Weadon Air Force Weather Deputy for Federal Programs May 17th, 2005 1
Outline • Purpose • Issue • Background & Discussion
Purpose • Information Briefing • History • Current activities • Schedule of events
History • 2002 Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry: “The Administration should immediately create a multi-agency task force…to develop an integrated plan to transform our air transportation system….The Joint Program Office…brings together needed participation from FAA, NASA, DoD, DHS, NOAA, and other government organizations. Within a year, the Joint Program Office should present a plan to the Administration and the Congress outlining the overall strategy, schedule, and resources needed to develop and deploy the nation’s next generation air transportation system” • January 2003 DOT Secretary Mineta/FAA Administrator Blakey formed Joint Planning Office
Public Law 108-176 December 12, 2003FAA Reauthorization“Vision 100” • Establishes the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) • Establishes a multi- agency Senior Policy Committee • Requires the JPDO to • Operate in conjunction with relevant programs in specified government agencies • Consult with the public and ensure the participation of experts from a broad range of entities within the private sector • Establishes the requirement for an integrated national plan • Plan must meet air transportation safety, security, efficiency and capacity needs beyond those currently included in the Operational Evolution Plan (FAA 10-year outlook)
Integrated Plan Requirements • National vision statement for an air transportation system that will meet the potential demand by 2025 • Description of the demand and future system performance characteristics including goals, objectives and policies and underlying assumptions and analyses • Multiagency R&D roadmap • Description of operational concepts to meet projected system performance requirements with timelines and budget requirements to meet 2025 vision Note: Plan delivered to Congress December 12th, 2004
Governance and Execution • Senior Policy Committee (SPC) • Chaired by Secretary of Transportation Mineta • Secretary-level group; in some cases (DOD) participation is delegated) • Three SPC meetings held since October 2003 • Joint Planning and Development office (JPDO) • Integrated Product Teams (IPTs)
Key Issues • JPDO Goals • Program scope is “curb-to-curb” • Triple 2001 capacity • 30% reduction in consumer time • 25% reduction in consumer cost • Budget • Department budgetary authority not transferred • Direct OMB interaction • Level of programmatic authority still under review
Integrated Product Teams • Harmonize Equipage and Operations Globally - FAA • Develop Airport Infrastructure to Meet Future Demand - FAA • Integrate Air Transportation Security Activities - DHS • Establish an Agile Air Traffic System - NASA • Establish User-Specific Situational Awareness - DOD • Establish a Comprehensive Proactive Safety Management Approach - FAA • Environmental Protection that Allows Sustained Aviation Growth - FAA • Develop a System-Wide Capability to Reduce Weather Impacts – DOC/NOAA
Weather IPT • IPT formed September 2003 • NOAA/FAA/NASA/DoD/Academia/NCAR participation • Limited industry participation to date • Six Weather IPT sub-elements • Observations (ground, aircraft, and space-based) • Forecasts (includes wake vortex) • Dissemination (weather information network) • Integration (probabilistic decision tools) • Training (Meteorologist/pilot/controller/dispatch) • Mitigation (aircraft equipage) • Policy/Outreach under consideration
Weather IPTConnections to other IPTs • “4-D” weather information pushed through a System Wide Information Management (SWIM) architecture • Common weather operational picture • Cockpit/Virtual Tower/Dispatch • Enroute Air Traffic Management • Capacity/Efficiency enhancement • Supporting 10000+ Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Fleet • Airport Operations • Ground operations • Capacity/Efficiency • Safety • Security • Environmental (e.g., sound/pollution) • Weather related sensor development • Wake Vortex • Next generation approach • International leadership
Weather IPTNext Steps • Department budget guidance for respective FY07 budget formulation processes will be submitted from JPDO to Department OMB examiners • Action plan development underway • Outcomes/Alternatives to be identified
Weather IPTNext Steps • 2005 System Requirements (National Operational Requirements Document) • 2005-2007 Aviation Weather Policy Reviews • 2010 – 2012 First Phase Weather Information Network • 2015 Second Phase (Probabilistic information) • Ongoing: Decision support tool development and integration into national airspace system operational platforms
