Building a Global AIM Enterprise Architecture Creating a Roadmap for Global AIM Interoperability Brett Brunk Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) Group Federal Aviation Administration – United States March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration

Agenda • Introduction to Enterprise Architecture • Application to AIM • Global AIM (G-AIM) EA – Identifying information needs of the Global ATM Operational Concept (Doc 9854) • FAA AIM EA Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 2

Motivation for Global AIM Enterprise Architecture • Aeronautical information is global in nature • Today’s paper-based AIS guidance and products do not lend themselves to information sharing • Future ATM Operational Concepts will need more aeronautical information – timely, accurate, quality • Enterprise Architecture is a tool that can be used to improve efficiency and effectiveness of an organization Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 3

Why Enterprise Architecture? • Enterprise Architecture provides – Effective planning – better decisions – “Future proofing” – Helps organize and synchronize investments • Disciplined approach defining our organization – Why – What – How – When Performance Goals Business / Operational activities; Information System capabilities and functions; Technologies; Standards Timelines and roadmaps (From AIS to AIM) Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 4

Enterprise Architecture Basics • Basic Parts of an EA – Current situation – baseline - “As Is” – Future goal – target - “To Be” – Roadmap from “As Is” to “To Be” AIP SUP, NOTAM, AIC Classical AIS “AS IS” Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Future AIM “TO BE” Federal Aviation Administration 5

Global AIM Activities • Initial coordination – May 2008 – FAA and Air. Services Australia • 2008 Global AIM Congress in Singapore – Introduction to Enterprise Architecture – Experiences of ASA and FAA • Analysis of ICAO SARPS and CONOPS – Annex 4, 15 – “As Is” today – Doc 9854 Global ATM Operational Concept • AIS to AIM Study Group – Information Paper: “Including AIM into Annex 15” • 2009 work plan – – AIM information needs NOTAM and Pilot Briefing concepts Enterprise Architecture seminar in Asia-Pacific? 2009 Global AIM congress in South Africa Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 9

The Foundation for Global AIM • Global AIM – Derived from the Global ATM Operational Concept – Has a common set of requirements • As defined by ICAO SARPS – Involves a common set of customer expectations for being able to coordinate operations • Within and across member states and partners – Will facilitate the next generation of Air Traffic Management solutions, worldwide – Provides the knowledge-base for global aviation • Global AIM involves an international community of dedicated experts, chartered to improve safety, efficiency, and capacity in an environmentally sound manner. Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 10

Current situation according to Annex 15 ATM • Enabling flight operations AIS • Provide information/data necessary to support international air navigation – Assemble static information products (AIP, AIC, Charts) – Provide notices of aeronautical information changes (NOTAM, SNOWTAM, BIRDTAM, ASHTAM) – Brief pilots (PIB) Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 11

Global ATM Vision • Provide “a holistic, cooperative and collaborative decision-making environment, where the diverging expectations and interests of all members of the ATM community are balanced to achieve equity and access. ” From ICAO Doc 9854 Global ATM Operational Concept (1. 9. 1) • “Information management provides accredited, quality-assured and timely information used to support ATM operations. ” From ICAO Doc 9854 Global ATM Operational Concept (2. 15) Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 12

ATM High-Level Operational Concept Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 13

What does the Global ATM Operational Concept tell us? • Need a move to seamless global air traffic management – Internationally harmonized and globally interoperable ATM system • ATM includes seven capabilities – – – – • Manage airspace Demand capacity balancing Aeronautical operations Traffic synchronization Conflict management Airspace user operations ATM service delivery management AIM/Information Services – Provide the information services necessary to support the seven ATM capabilities Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 14

Role of AIM according to Doc 9854 ATM • Enabling flight operations Aeronautical Common Operating Picture Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 AIM • Provide common operating picture of aeronautical situation – – Monitor quality Control quality Provide information sharing Integrate data (historical, planning and operational) – Provide decision information support Federal Aviation Administration 15

What is missing in AIM today? Global ATM capabilities – Manage airspace – Demand capacity balancing – Aerodrome operations – Traffic synchronization – Conflict management – Airspace user operations – ATM service delivery management Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 How should AIM support these ATM capabilities? Federal Aviation Administration 16

Implication for AIS and AIM • In the past focused on satisfying Annex 15 – Annexes are stove-piped • Focus on satisfying Global ATM operational concepts – ATM is a global integrated enterprise – Identify new enhancements needed for AIM • Performance • Business activities • Information exchange requirements • Result – Changes to Annex 15 to ensure AIM supports future ATM Global AIM Architecture Framework March 2009 Federal Aviation Administration 17
