    1. Operational Evolution Partnership An Introduction to FAA’s Integration & Implementation Plan for NextGen “This Operational Evolution Partnership will be the mechanism by which we inform our owners, customers, and aviation community of our plans and progress towards the JPDO vision…” -- Marion C. Blakey, FAA Administrator, before the Senate aviation subcommittee “This Operational Evolution Partnership will be the mechanism by which we inform our owners, customers, and aviation community of our plans and progress towards the JPDO vision…” -- Marion C. Blakey, FAA Administrator, before the Senate aviation subcommittee

    2. -- Marion C. Blakey, FAA Administrator, before the Senate aviation subcommittee, May 2006 OEP is FAA’s path to NextGen

    4. What You’ll Learn Today What OEP is Who has authority over OEP How OEP works Where OEP must go from here

    5. What is OEP Version 1? Defines framework for FAA’s NextGen implementation plan Scope is broader than capacity Reflects NextGen vision Demonstrates how FAA’s integration & implementation plan will be executed To ensure development processes are not just parallel, but complementary Aligns research & development with NextGen objectives Provides high-level “big picture” content Initiates industry collaboration process Version 1: Will be released this month – in the next two weeks Establishes an integrated framework of capabilities grouped into solution sets The Old OEP was primarily capacity. New OEP is capacity, efficiency, safety, security, environment and Partnership. OEP has partnerships within FAA, and outside of FAA throughout the aviation community, to reach agreement on how to best implement the JPDO vision for NextGen Version 1: Will be released this month – in the next two weeks Establishes an integrated framework of capabilities grouped into solution sets The Old OEP was primarily capacity. New OEP is capacity, efficiency, safety, security, environment and Partnership. OEP has partnerships within FAA, and outside of FAA throughout the aviation community, to reach agreement on how to best implement the JPDO vision for NextGen

    6. Operational Evolution Partnership Before we get into details, I want to spend a minute on the word “partnership” in our title – good partnership provides harmony. Good harmony provides music To have music, all the partners – must be on the same sheet of music – or you have noise. The Army Enterprise Integration Oversight Office uses an analogy of the symphony orchestra in explaining their role. A score – or plan – leads the orchestra. Every score has a melody (the basis of the composition) – a logical succession of tones. It also has harmony – the art of combining sounds into chords. You see where I’m going with this. What we do in OEP is integrate all parts of the FAA to provide a plan that will produce NextGen – We need all our partners to work with us to achieve a masterpiece – NEXTGEN.Before we get into details, I want to spend a minute on the word “partnership” in our title – good partnership provides harmony.

    7. Who has authority over OEP? Advised by the OEP Review Board Guided by Ops Planning VP Vicki Cox One thing is certain; all elements (Air Traffic, Aircraft, and Airports) of the air transportation system are integral to achieving the NextGen vision. The integration of functions and technology along with changing roles and responsibilities will support a viable transformation to NextGen. The lack of or improper integration can result in inconsistent performance goals, overly complex designs, costly implementation programs and inefficient operations within the air transportation system.

    8. How is FAA Using the OEP? FAA-wide strategic planning reflects NextGen vision Guiding budget formulation Prioritizing resources Focusing research & development on NextGen Integrating program planning to achieve capabilities One thing is certain; all elements (Air Traffic, Aircraft, and Airports) of the air transportation system are integral to achieving the NextGen vision.

    10. OEP Focus is on the Mid-term (2012-2018) Without improvements to the Air Traffic System, delays are projected to increase 62% by 2014 27% increases in domestic traffic projected for 2016 Studies have shown that controllers cannot handle 25% increases in traffic in the busiest sectors using tools available today Bottom line: Failure to accommodate demand will have severe economic impact inside and outside the aviation industry 27% increases in domestic traffic projected for 2016 Studies have shown that controllers cannot handle 25% increases in traffic in the busiest sectors using tools available today In the most congested areas today, sectors are already as small as possible Traffic will not be manageable by increased staffing 2006 traffic resulted in an average delay of 18 min per flight Today’s system operating in 2016 would produce far greater delays Without improvements to the Air Traffic System delays are projected to increase 62% by 2014 Weather further exacerbates the problem Bottom line: Failure to accommodate demand will have severe economic impact inside and outside the aviation industry 27% increases in domestic traffic projected for 2016 Studies have shown that controllers cannot handle 25% increases in traffic in the busiest sectors using tools available today In the most congested areas today, sectors are already as small as possible Traffic will not be manageable by increased staffing 2006 traffic resulted in an average delay of 18 min per flight Today’s system operating in 2016 would produce far greater delays Without improvements to the Air Traffic System delays are projected to increase 62% by 2014 Weather further exacerbates the problem Bottom line: Failure to accommodate demand will have severe economic impact inside and outside the aviation industry

    11. Defining the OEP Domains Airport Development New concrete Air Traffic Operations Transformational capabilities Aircraft & Operator Requirements Avionics Airport Development: New concrete Keeps OEP 35 airports but adds 15 metropolitan regions Provides details about long-range planning Aircraft & Operator Requirements: Avionics Defines aircraft roadmap for a standard equipage package for NextGen Avionics are migrating from discrete components to multi-function, flexible integrated avionics platforms Air Traffic Operations: Transformational capabilities Capabilities are comprised of integrated cross-agency activities combined to produce solutions that support the JPDO vision Airport Development: New concrete Keeps OEP 35 airports but adds 15 metropolitan regions Provides details about long-range planning Aircraft & Operator Requirements: Avionics Defines aircraft roadmap for a standard equipage package for NextGen Avionics are migrating from discrete components to multi-function, flexible integrated avionics platforms Air Traffic Operations: Transformational capabilities Capabilities are comprised of integrated cross-agency activities combined to produce solutions that support the JPDO vision

    12. Airport Development Domain OEP 35 Airports, with a view of longer range planning Metropolitan Areas 15 metropolitan areas 80+ non-OEP airports

    14. OEP Metro Areas Over next 20 years, Nation’s population & economic growth is expected to occur in 15 metropolitan areas These regions will shape the need for air transportation Long-term approach focused on meeting future demand Consistent with Capacity Needs Report (FACT2 Update underway) Within these 15 Metro Areas Promote regional planning Monitor aviation infrastructure investment in these regions Identify airports with potential to accommodate future demand Over next 20 years, Nation’s population & economic growth is expected to occur in 15 metropolitan areas These regions will shape the need for air transportation Long-term approach focused on meeting future demand Consistent with Capacity Needs Report (FACT2 Update underway) Within these 15 Metro Areas Promote regional planning Monitor aviation infrastructure investment in these regions Identify airports with potential to accommodate future demand

    15. Aircraft & Operator Requirements To facilitate the transformation to NextGen, avionics are migrating from discrete components to multi-function, flexible integrated avionics platforms. Displays: Integrated displays handle all functions that need to present information to the flight crew. Controls: Integrated controls provide a means for the flight crew to access and control any of the aircraft functions. Aircraft-Based Independent Sensors: Unique sensors that are not easily accommodated into an integrated modular system, such as weather sensors or enhanced vision sensors. Communication: The radio that provides a communication link to or from the aircraft, regardless of what data is transmitted over the link or what function it supports. Examples include VHF 25 kHz voice, VHF 25 kHz data link, and 1090 extended squitter (broadcast data). Refining Aircraft Roadmap (Aircraft Infrastructure and Operations) Need to coordinate with all stakeholders Will be impacted by NextGen planning JPDO expected to refine the functions of the NextGen aircraft “Standards Maturity” will support standards planning and research coordination Discrepancies currently exist between Roadmaps Policy, standards and guidance material should be considered from inception of project Timeline of: Key aircraft and operational research Implementation decisions affecting aircraft equipment Certification and operational standards and criteria to support adoption of a particular capability Strawman to serve for understanding and collaboration on [proposed] Operational Improvements Must link to ATO Roadmaps for planned services Also must address aircraft-centered operations Delegated separation, autonomous navigation, etc. NOT -- Aircraft architecture or equipment NOT -- roadmap of functions YOU should buy or when Aircraft fleet remains very diverse Focus of Roadmap is on first aircraft through the enabling standards and criteria To facilitate the transformation to NextGen, avionics are migrating from discrete components to multi-function, flexible integrated avionics platforms.

    22. TBO represents a shift from clearance-based control to trajectory-based control. Aircraft will fly negotiated trajectories and control moves to allow air traffic management by trajectory. This operational shift will be available in the future, as a result of the development in the transformational program and implementation of new efforts within the solution sets. In the new high-performance ATM environment, aircraft will transmit and receive precise data, to include aircraft routes and the times aircraft will cross key points in the airspace. With Data Communications, this same precise information will also be available to pilots and controllers on the ground.
