Advanced Technology Demonstration and Prototyping Group

1. Advanced Technology Demonstration and Prototyping Group Demonstrations with SWIM Overtones Presented to: Network Centric Demonstrations and Prototypes TIM II By: Jim Rogers Jim McDaniel Date: September 24, 2009

2. SWIM Concepts All Demos • TMA and Convective Wx – publish-subscribe interface for predictive Wx into TMA based on JMS messaging format • Oceanic TBO – web-enabled collaborative trajectory planning • International Flight Data Object – defineIFDO, representation of relevant info about a flight, as primary container of flight info for publication/subscription by aviation community • AIRE - Oceanic, Arrival and Surface Demos - aspects of global, real-time info management, distributed information sharing and collaborative decision making • NEO Spiral 2 – trials and demos of net-enabled capabilities concentrating on shared information between FAA, DoD and DHS entities

3. Daytona Beach NextGen Test Facility Funding – Current FY: F&E • Allocated - $1.96M • Committed - $1.96M • Shortfall - $0 • OPS – none • No FY09 funding requested Description of Project: Facility operated by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) and an industry consortium at Daytona Beach International Airportto research, evaluate and demonstrate NextGen concepts, procedures, technologies and capabilities. Initial demo to show the incorporation of convective weather data into the Traffic Management Advisor (TMA) tool to better maintain airport arrival rates. Recent Activity: Ongoing technical interchange meeting with ERAU, technical lead at Lockheed Martin, CSC (TMA contractor), reps from team weather contractor ENSCO and FAA HQ weather staff. Conducted liaison and coordination visit to Jacksonville ARTCC with ERAU staff to arrange demo participation and data collection. Coordinated requirements for GFI and support equipment. Next two weeks: Management visit to Daytona Beach for general discussions and evaluation of possible second, executive level demo. Continue review of preparations for November 18 demo. Conduct weekly progress reviews and status telcons. Latest Accomplishments: Due to technical difficulties with simulating Charlotte traffic patterns, demo focus reverted to the flight arrival stream to Orlando thru Jacksonville ARTCC sectors. Demonstration will use data from a “significant weather day” – Aug 9. Scenarios for clear weather, bad weather without flight plan amendments and bad weather with flight plan amendment will be run in lab and discussed.
