ATC Communications Services – System Wide Information Management (SWIM)

1. ATC Communications Services – System Wide Information Management (SWIM)

2. System Wide Information Management (SWIM)

3. SWIM is not: A big system in a new facility A giant database A replacement for FAA telecommunications program SWIM is an information technology program that will operate in the background to provide seamless information to users who have a valid need for the data What is SWIM? SWIM will: • Lower information costs • Increase speed to establish new interfaces • Increase common situational awareness • Increase National Airspace System agility

4. Problems with Current FAA Information Sharing Host WARP Each connection is custom and does not satisfy future data exchange needs. Existing point to point hardwired NAS. Costly development, test, maintenance, CM. New decisions linked to old data constructs. Cumbersome data access outside of NAS. IDS/ERIDS ASDE ATOP ERAM STARS/ ARTS/ TAMR TFM Inter-Agency TMA CIWS

5. Government Systems International Community FAA Future with SWIM Enterprise Information Distribution Net Centric Information Sharing FAA Systems SWIM Core Capabilities Standard data interfaces

6. ASDE-X TFM currently plans to install several unique interfaces to collect surface data Instead TFM will have one interface to get the same data TDDS RVR EFSTS TDLS TFM TFM One Example

10. SWIM Status • Program is in the Planning stages • Recently (June 20, 2007) successfully completed Investment Analysis Decision for Segment 1 • 2-year baseline approved • Good Potential for future opportunities with small businesses • Stay Tuned

11. SWIM Acquisition Strategy • Distribute (Leverage existing programs to deploy the 9 capabilities) • Use existing (implementing programs) contracts and contractors to develop requirements, design, test, implement • For example • En Route System (ERAM) – Lockheed Martin • Traffic Flow Management (TFM) – Computer Services Corporation (CSC) • Weather Systems – MIT Lincoln Labs

12. SWIM Acquisition Strategy • Design (Enterprise services participation) • SWIM Program Office will use existing contracts for program office support (systems engineering and integration activities) • Boeing is the main SWIM Program Office Integrator Contractor (Teaming) • Trade Studies and Prototype Development • COTS software for Core Services Procured and Provided for Analysis

13. SWIM Acquisition Strategy • Integrate (Enterprise connectivity) • Provide Core Services software to existing implementing programs • Use existing contracts for integration in FY08-FY10 • New Acquisition - SWIM Integration Contract possible in FY10 for systems engineering support • Govern (Manage across domains) • Establish Governing Policies

14. Possible SWIM Contracting Opportunities • Technical Services – Trade Studies • Acquisition Planning Documentation • Implementing Programs Contractors • Requirements Development • Prototyping and Testing and Integration
