  1. AERONAUTICAL COMMUNICATIONS PANEL (ACP) 16th MEETING OF WORKING GROUP M Paris, France 17 – 19 May 2010 Agenda Item: 1x Data Communications Program Status (Presented by: Andy Colon, FAA)

  2. Agenda Data Comm Objectives Segment 1 and Segment 2 Services (Summary) FAA Acquisition Lifecycle Milestones & Activities (Leading to FID) Program Outreach DCNSD Acquisition Status Notional Architecture

  3. Data Comm Objectives Efficiency – enhance productivity of controllers and pilots Examples services include: Revised Departure Clearances, Optimized Descents, Transfer of Communications • Capacity – enable advanced operations to reduce resource needs • Examples services include: Initial Trajectory Based Operations, Conformance Management • Safety – reduce communications errors related to voice • Examples services include: Addressed Clearances

  4. Segment 1 Services - Tower • Planning acceleration of Revised Departure Clearances (DCL) in response to RTCA NextGen Task Force recommendations (S1P1) • Enables full route clearances and revisions • Exploits Future Air Navigation Systems (FANS) avionics found in newer aircraft • Will not impact existing services • Digital Automatic Terminal Information Service (D-ATIS) up-links of airport weather, hazards, and restrictions to the aircraft (S1P2) • Requires Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) avionics

  5. Segment 1 Services - En Route • Data link logon (DLL) service to provide a unique digital identification of every aircraft(S1P1) • Initial use of Trajectory Clearances for continuous descent approaches (S1P2) • Automatic ATC “hand-off” (ACM) data transmitted to aircraft identifying the radio frequency in use by the next air traffic control sector (S1P2)

  6. Segment 2 Services • Continue Segment 1 services in Tower and En Route • Extend Segment 1 services to TRACON • Plus additional services: • Trajectory Based Operations in Performance Based Airspace, providing conflict-free flight with stable aircraft routing • Conformance Management to ensure aircraft compliance with trajectory • Optimized Profile Descents and time-based metering • NAS Airport status, delays and constraints, hazardous weather uplinked to the aircrew • Taxi-in / Taxi-out service provides taxi routes for aircraft to follow from the gate to the runway April 28, 2010

  10. Program Outreach – Avionics Signed Agreements with Rockwell and Honeywell to spur early development of prototype SC-214 avionics Manufacturers also providing fleet and market data Participating in Boeing-NextGen agreement

  11. Airspace User Outreach Follow-up to RTCA NextGen Task Force 5 with interested airlines Open one-on-one dialogue and create environment for two way communications Airline benefits and business case Service for equipage opportunities: Review operational scenarios where Data Comm can improve the efficiency of airline operation operations Stand up Data Link Users Forum (DLUF) Ad Hoc Committee Start to address technical and integration issues for initial services • American • Continental • United • FedEx • Delta/Northwest

  12. DCNSD Acquisition Status Data Communication Network Service (DCNS) to be procured through competitive service based acquisition Released Draft Screening Information Request (SIR) 30 Sep 09 Received vendor responses 4 Nov Prospective vendor one-on-one meetings Releasing follow-on draft SIR 3Q FY10 Provide offerors greater detail on avionics and incentivization approach SIR release expected FY 10 Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) and FAA Chief Financial Officer (CFO) review to complete prior to release
