17. Draft ARC / RPR Phase III Timeline

18. FY08 Conference Mark • Conference Mark provides for a total of $110,000,000 • Specific Conference Language: • The conference agreement provides $85,650,000 for ADS-B, instead of $90,650,000 as proposed by the House and $97,354,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees direct FAA to examine the frequency congestion issues associated with the ADS-B signal, and accelerate the effort to determine how existing aircraft separation standards can be safely reduced. • The conference agreement provides $9,350,000 for the ADS-B program specifically to expedite air to air capabilities. • The FAA received the funding in January 2008

19. Airborne Separation Assistance System (ASAS) and ASAS Applications • ASAS: “An aircraft system based on airborne surveillance that provides assistance to the flight crew supporting the separation of their aircraft from other aircraft.” • ASAS application: “A set of operational procedures for controllers and flight crews that makes use of an Airborne Separation Assistance System to meet a defined operational goal.” Reference: ICAO ASAS Circular

20. ASAS Applications Categories • Airborne Traffic Situational Awareness (Category I) • Airborne Spacing (Category II) • Airborne Separation (Category III) • Airborne Self-Separation (Category IV) Reference: The ‘Principles of Operation for the Use of ASAS (PO-ASAS)’ - June 2001 - Action Plan 1 of the FAA/EUROCONTROL R&D Committee)

21. Steering Group Process

22. Process for Selecting Applications Identify NAS needs (Problems) Portfolio of applications from existing sources Decompose into sub-problems PHASE 1 Application Characterization Is application a subset of / traceable to an existing AIWP application? Map sub-problems to required capabilities Refer to AIWP Yes Identify applications to support capabilities No Is application description sufficient to enable business case analysis? Develop/Refine application description No Yes Eliminate applications below minimum threshold Conduct business case analysis PHASE 2 Application Prioritization Rank application based on business case results Steering Committee requires mods to prioritized list? No Timeline of Applications Yes

23. Acceleration of Future Air-to-Air Applications • En Route 3nm Separation • In-Trail Procedures • ATSA Conflict Detection on the Surface • Flight Deck Merging and Spacing • ASAS Forum

24. 1. En Route 3nm Separation ADS-B accuracy and update rate should allow a reduction in en route separation from 5 nm to 3 nm Initial Application: reduce delays that occur because of the transition area between sectors that have different separation standards. Currently, terminal sectors have 3 nm separation and en route sectors use 5 nm separation. Aircraft cannot instantaneously change separation at the border between terminal and en route. Reducing the separation standard en route will remove any transition area and allow full use of 3 nm separation in terminal airspace thereby reducing delay. Mature Application: ADS-B separation en route operating with other NextGen programs (e.g. Datacom) will allow an increase in en route sector capacity. This increase in capacity should prevent future en route delays caused by overloaded sector capacity. En route Airspace 5 nm Separation Transition Area effective separation < 5 nm but >3 nm Terminal Airspace 3 nm Separation

25. 2. ADS-B In-Trail Procedures Following Climb Example • ADS-B In-Trail Procedures are airborne ADS-B enabled climbs and descents through otherwise blocked flight levels • ADS-B In-Trail Procedures • Controller separates aircraft using information derived from cockpit sources and relayed by the flight crew to the controller • Receipt of ADS-B data from surrounding aircraft; use of a cockpit display and software provides data to qualify the aircraft for the maneuver • No airborne monitoring during climb required • Controller retains responsibility for separation and approves or disapproves the request based on the controller’s awareness of the full traffic picture FL360 FL350 FL340 Standard Separation blue = ADS-B transceiver and onboard decision support system red = ADS-B out minimum required

26. 3. ATSA Conflict Detection on the Surface

27. 4. Flight Deck Merging and Spacing (FDMS)

28. 5. Airborne Separation Assistance System (ASAS) Forum • What is ASAS? • ASAS is a new technique which, via airborne and/or ground surveillance, presents a flight crew with a traffic picture • The flight crew may then use the information in a defined way to achieve some operational benefit. This use is defined as an ASAS application and may range from enhanced see and avoid to an aircraft managing its own separation. • Objective of the ASAS Forum • To accelerate the implementation of ASAS applications in the United States focused on increased airspace capacity and safety • Approach • Series of workshops on key ASAS issues and Research and Development leading to standards and certification • Knowledge Sharing • Stimulate academic / industry base / international community for mining creativity

29. Cost Estimate for Accelerating Future Air-to-Air Applications = Task Overhead

30. Summary of Air-to-Air Applications

31. Senate Discussion • Given $9.3M, how should the FAA move forward? • Option 1: In-Trail Procedures ($9.3M)* • Option 2: En Route 3nm Separation + ATSA Conflict Detection on the Surface ($9.0M)* • Option 3: En Route 3nm Separation + FDMS + ASAS Forum ($8.6M)* • Option 4: En Route 3nm Separation + In-Trail Procedures + ATSA Conflict Detection on the Surface + FDMS + ASAS Forum ($21.5M, including task overhead) *Note: These figures does not include task overhead
