NASA Aviation Security Research • NASA Contributions • Development of long-range, advanced technology • Leverage existing technology & expertise • Fill voids/niches as requested • Emphases • Detection of new vulnerabilities • Vulnerability mitigation for aircraft & systems • Security research viewed as an inherently Government activity. • Will not be discussing Aviation Security vis a vis University research.
Joint Planning & Development Office (JPDO)Engagement and Observations Transforming the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS) • The 108th Congress and President Bush enacted VISION 100 - Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (P.L. 108-176). • An integrated, multi-agency plan to transform the nation’s air transportation system to meet the needs of the year 2025. • NGATS Initiative will address critical safety and economic needs in civil aviation while fully integrating national defense and homeland security improvements into this future system. AvSSP Engagement: • AvSSP participating in Security, Safety, Weather and Shared Situational Awareness IPT action plan development. • CAST Joint Implementation Measures Data Analysis Team (JIMDAT) providing input on Safety IPT goals, objectives and safety management framework. • AvSSP exploring safety modeling and analysis opportunities with the JPDO Evaluation and Analysis Team. Observations: • Weather IPT scope is metrology focused and does not include technologies such as Synthetic Vision Systems: recommend broadening the scope. • Security IPT moving slowly and has been DHS-centric to date. AvSSP can greatly contribute to the security roadmapping effort in the area of requirements and solution set development • Evaluation and Analysis activities create excellent opportunities for AvSSP support and contribution. Increased EAO – AvSSP engagement will provide mutual benefit.

Safety & Security Information Sharing Self-Preserving Aircraft Summaries of FY07 Competed Demonstrations Addresses capabilities for detecting, managing, and mitigating events, failures, and errors that would otherwise lead to hazardous situations and could result in injury and death of people. In designing self-preserving aircraft systems, a verification and validation basis for certification must be developed. Demonstrations should occur on real/virtual “obstacle courses” where hazard precursors are staged and vehicle adaptability and performance are observed. Demonstrate government/industry sharing of key safety risk and security vulnerability information and demonstrate a working prototype of network-based integration of information sources allowing assessment of risk within the National Aviation System. This prototype will be scalable within the proprietary firewalls of a single operator to NAS-wide functionality, will be flexible across both strategic and tactical timeframes, and should overcome obstacles to interoperability of distributed data sources. Safe Single-Pilot Operations Cyber Secure Air Transportation Current and evolutionary flight deck systems, operational concepts, and technologies do not promote optimal pilot situation awareness, workload allocation, and decision-making. Demonstrate reliable adaptive automation and pilot interfaces that prevent unsafe flight situations due to breakdown between human/machine interface and technologies to enable general aviation and single crew cargo operations with safety equivalent to two-crew operation. Demonstrate improved human and automation reliability. Demonstrate a robust cyber attack-proof e-aircraft (i.e., one that is fully capable of exploiting all characteristics of a fully digital airspace) operating in a future, digital secure NAS network to enable secure network operations with no loss in efficiency due to security measures. Ensure security risk reduction technologies that enhance efficient NAS operations by demonstrating seamless, fully secured, mobile, scaleable networks.

AvSSP Business / Acquisition Strategy(Circa 1998, Updated 2005) • NASA ARMD objective: cost-sharing preferred, ie., NASA should “not pay for all of anything” • Joint NASA/FAA/industry workshops called for moving from investment areas to specific implementation options (1997 ASIST) • - Technical discussions • - Identified appropriate Government/industry/academic roles • - Facilitated industry team-building • Used standard competitive procurements where required specifications are known • Used workshop results to intelligently structure NRA solicitations for new technology developments • - Cost-sharing is selection factor • - Emphasis on motivation/time/team for implementation/commercialization • Established Cooperative Agreements as preferred arrangement with selected NRA offerors • Aviation Safety 2000-2005 NRA’s were highly successful in leveraging NASA funds, securing partner commitment • to R&D products, & handing-off of mature technologies.
FY06-10 Budget Prospectus • Significant cuts from current FY05 $906M Aeronautics Research budgets in out years. • Major reductions in Vehicle Systems Program • Significant transformations in acquisition strategies within Airspace Systems & AvSSP data from Feb. 7 budget release now in public domain
Future Acquisition Strategies • Increased pressure for competitive selection similar to past NASA Research Announcement (NRA) process. • By FY07, ~50% of total Full-Cost budgets will be “Competed.” • Remainder considered to be “Directed” funding and “Foundational” research. • Currently only ~25% of total Full-Cost budget is considered “Procurement” available for technical work. • AvSSP currently has no specific acquisition targets for University work in the out-years. • A significant percentage of the new Foundational Research Program will target University partners.
Comparison of Current and FutureAvSSP Acquisition Strategies FY05 Full-Cost Model FY07 Model Procurement:$’s available for in-house & out-of-house research Non-Procurement: Salaries Travel Institutional Support 25% Competed Demonstrations:Including: Salaries Travel Institutional Support Directed Research: Including: Salaries Travel Institutional Support Foundational Research Program ~75% 75% ~5% ~20%
Challenges within the New Strategy • NASA Institutions may be in direct competition with outside entities for 50% of future research dollars. • Research and institutional segments of NASA will need to partner with Universities, industry & Other Government Agencies to win some significant percentage of Competed Acquisitions. • NASA aviation safety research has addressed needs of: • Manufacturers (airframe, engine, avionics) • Airlines (crew procedures, fatigue, maintenance, training) • Air traffic control (facility day-to-day operations) • ARMD will need to determine level of support for operational research needed to… • Maintain safety in an environment of continuous change within those segments of aviation that are currently enjoying historically-low accident rates, namely, Part 121 commercial-transport operations. Changes may come in the form of introduction of new aircraft, new airspace operational paradigms, new avionics, changing pilot demographics, evolving security threats, airline cost-cutting, and a host of other factors. • Improve safetyin those segments of aviation that are viewed as the least safe, namely, GA, public-safety aircraft, single-pilot light jets, etc.
AcademiaNASA BRIDGEOperational Community System Safety Technologies, System Wide Accident Prevention (SWAP) Sub-Project Overhaul of Southwest Airlines procedures resulted in a 60% reduction of problems in line ops. After Insertion of SWAP Training Procedures VP of Southwest Airlines has invited AvSS Division Manager, George Finelli, to SW HQ at DFW to give him kudos on NASA SWAP tools that made this possible.
AcademiaNASA BRIDGEOperational Community NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System General Accomplishments • Since the implementation of the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) in 1976, over 637,000 reports have been submitted by pilots, mechanics, air traffic controllers, cabin attendants, and other aviation personnel. • The ASRS is the largest repository of aviation human factors incidents in the world. • The ASRS has accomplished over 7,100 database searches for government agencies, students, universities, research organizations, international organizations, aircraft manufacturers, etc. • Since 1976, the ASRS has issued over 3,400 safety alert messages in the form of Alert Bulletins & For Your Information Notices. Approximately, 47% of the addressee responses indicated that a follow-up action was taken as a result of the safety alert message. Example Operational Impacts • Identified and alerted the FAA Office of Aviation Safety & the National Business Aviation Association to the increasing frequency of Teterboro Airport (TEB) departure conflicts with Newark Airport (EWR) arrivals. NBAA has notified its members to be on alert for amended altitudes and headings, while the FAA has instructed its controllers to ensure clear and concise communications be initiated especially as they relate to TEB 5 IDP amendment procedures. • Issued several ASRS Alert Bulletins to Embraer concerning EMB135/145 cockpit seat lock failures. FAA Flight Standards response indicated possible issuance of an AD to address the problem. Example NTSB Accident Support • Accomplished a database search request on TCAS conflict incidents for the NTSB in support of the investigation of the B757 and Tu154 mid-air collision over Germany.
Upcoming Activities • Aviation Safety and Security Program Sub-Committee of the Aeronautics Research Advisory Committee Meeting scheduled Q2 2005. • Replanning of current AvSSP portfolio consistent with available resources. • Non-Advocate Review of portfolio in late FY05 or early FY06 in preparation for AvSSP II start.
Concluding Remarks • • Significant paradigm-shifting work has been • accomplished in the 5 years of Aviation Safety; • FY05 is the final year of implementation. • • First year of implementation for Aviation • Security projects going very well • - Subprojects are well coordinated with • customers/partners • - Vulnerability assessment is providing • a firm foundation for implementing activities in all technical areas • • Construction of future Aviation Safety R&D portfolio well underway; awaiting final FY 2006 and out budgets to complete. • Increased emphasis on Competed Acquisitions in out-years of AvSSP II. • As is currently the case, University research will play a key role in AvSSP research portfolio albeit on a competitive basis.
