System-Wide Information Management (SWIM)

1. System-Wide Information Management (SWIM) SWIM Key to NEXTGEN Small Business Procurement Opportunities Training Conference Rhonda Thomas, SWIM Acquisition Lead 18 June 2008

2. Program Concept SWIM is an IT infrastructure program that will operate in the background to provide data to authorized users SWIM will: • Implement a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) in the NAS • Identify industry standards, best practices and COTS products for use by other NAS programs • Establish governance policy, process, mechanisms and metrics In order to: • Ensure interoperability between systems • Lower information costs • Increase speed to establish new interfaces • Increase common situational awareness • Increase NAS agility

3. FTI SWIM Compliant Government System SWIM Compliant Non-Government System FAA Systems SWIM Core Services and Standards Enterprise Management The Challenge Today Host ETMS WARP IDS/ERIDS ASDE-X ATOP ERAM STARS/ ARTS/ TAMR CIWS Business as Usual(NextGen without SWIM) - More unique, point-to-point interfaces - Costly development, test, maintenance, CM - New decisions linked to old data constructs - Cumbersome data access outside of NAS Inter-Agency TMA TFM - Existing point-to-point, hardwired NAS - Unique interfaces, custom designs

4. ASDE-X TFM planned to develop several unique interfaces to collect surface data With SWIM, TFM will have one interface to acquire the same data TDDS RVR EFSTS TDLS TFM TFM Communicating via SWIM: One Example

5. Program Status • Joint Resources Council (JRC) Final Investment Decision was made on 20 June 2007 • Two-year baseline (FY09 and FY10) approved • SWIM will return to the JRC in FY09 for approval of the rest of Segment 1 (FY11-13) • JRC decision for SWIM Segment 2 expected in FY10 • Funding would start in FY12

6. Segment 1 Program Overview • Nine Segment 1 capabilities were derived from Communities of Interest: • Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) • Flight & Flow Management (F&FM) • Weather • SWIM will not implement a separate infrastructure for Segment 1 • SWIM will leverage existing infrastructures, processes, resources, and logistics chains that are part of the program offices implementing the 9 SWIM capabilities • SWIM Governance will establish operating rules for the stakeholders and their services/applications to ensure use of common protocols and interfaces, assisted by use of commercial software for some Core Services • In-Service decisions are delegated to implementing programs

7. SWIM Segment 1 COI Capabilities Capabilities will be implemented as services by SWIM SIPs over the next five years

8. Program Approach • SWIM is working with SWIM Implementing Programs (SIPs) to finalize SWIM requirements documents • SIPs include ERAM, TFM, AIM, Terminal, CIWS, ITWS, and WMSCR • ITWS and CIWS teams are developing SWIM prototypes for selected products in FY08 • Starting in FY09, each SIP will receive their requirements, SWIM Governance documents, a SWIM “tool kit”, and budget to develop the required capabilities

9. The SWIM "A-List " for FY08 • Complete Segment 1 requirements documents • Complete Architecture Prototyping and work to validate Segment 1 architecture • Complete Trade Study to select COTS products used to provide Segment 1 Core Services • Prepare for Segment 1 development in FY09 – configure lab, identify commercial products, develop FY09 Service Level Agreements with SIPs • Work with SIPs to prepare refined cost and schedule estimates for JRC in FY09 (Segment 1B) • Initiate Segment 2 Definition

10. ITWS/CIWS Prototyping • Two weather services were selected for limited prototyping in FY08: ITWS and CIWS • ITWS Prototype is using the Iona Fuse (open source) service container software on three weather products: Microburst TRACON Map Product, Gustfront Product, and the Configured Alerts Product • CIWS Prototype is using the Mule (open source) service container software on two mosaic weather products: VIL and EchoTops • Both prototypes are developing a SWIM service that includes client & server software, using SWIM-like standards and products for Core Services.

12. Current SWIM Contracting Support • Areas: Technical Services, Acquisition Planning, and Implementation • Utilizing large businesses such as Boeing • Utilizing Small Businesses, 8A, Women-Owned, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, Minority Certified Businesses • Sources: GSA Schedule, References, TAC, Conferences (networking), subcontracting arrangements

13. Possible SWIM Contracting Opportunities • Technical Services • COTS Software (Service Container Software, XML Gateway, SOAP Engine, Message-Oriented Middleware, Policy Server, Registry (design-time)) • Integration Support • Acquisition Planning and Implementation • Implementing Programs • Requirements Development • Prototyping, Testing and Integration
