The AIM Modernization Program Aeronautical Common Services Presented

The AIM Modernization Program Aeronautical Common Services Presented By: Bob Mc. Mullen Date: 28 August 2013

Legacy Description • • The current system process requires inputs into multiple systems, relies on manual processes, and lacks data quality control around the information being conveyed The operational impacts of the current systems process include: – Redundant work: Users managing SAA schedules at en route facilities often need to enter the same information in many systems to convey schedules to NAS users. – Inefficient flight path – Operational errors or deviations caused by lack of accurate schedule data – Lack of trusted data sources – Delay in NOTAM generation

AIM Modernization Mission Modernize and improve AI flow of information through digital data ingestion, management, and distribution tools SOA platform where services can be developed using international standards and hosted on a centralized infrastructure for delivery to customers as web services Improve access, integrity, interoperability, and extensibility of AI to systems and users across the NAS Move from a simple product-centric environment to true AI Management

AIMM is • Identifying standards & relating data • Providing access (GA, airlines and ANSP and FAA users, Do. D) consistently – Tailoring information to what you need • Building a platform where additional (future) data can be added and configured in a timely fashion

AIMM Overview Make it look simple, stable, and the same… Do. D Public ANSP

Program Description • Digital Data Ingestion: Exchange data authoritative providers using automated tools and systems. • Aeronautical Common Services (ACS): The single trusted access point of AI. Is a solid foundation for additional AIMM activities – The ACS has four core capabilities: § Aeronautical Information Query and Subscription § Aeronautical Information Integration § Spatial Information Mapping § Aeronautical Information Data Analytics • External and Legacy System Integration: functional two-way data exchange with other systems.

NAVLean) NAS/Operations Network SWIM/ NEMS AI ANSP Systems (e. g. TFMS, ESIS/IDSR, TFDM, ERAM) AI Consumers

AIMM Segments Notices to Airmen (NOTAM): (Segment 1) • Condition change in the NAS (e. g. Runway closed, ILS OTS) Central Altitude Reservation Function (CARF): (Segment 1) • Pre-coordinated reserved routing and altitude for Do. D and NASA. • CARF deconflicts routing Special Activity Airspace (SAA): (Segment 2) • Airspace Definitions and Schedules • Delivered through Aeronautical Common Service • Reserved airspace for other than normal flight (e. g. MOAs, ATCAAs) Airport layout information: (Segment 2) • Airport surveys, runways, navaids, terrain • Delivered through Aeronautical Common Service Other: (Future Work Packages) • Procedures, business rules and constraints defined in letters of agreement (LOA) and standard operating procedures (SOP), • Business rules, definitions, and status of the NAS “infrastructure” (e. g. airports, airspace, procedures) • Dynamic AI and status changes

What AIMM Delivers SOA platform - developed using web standards on a centralized infrastructure Aeronautical Common Service (ACS) - single authoritative source of AI A system design leveraging SWIM - net-centric enterprise architecture Digital Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs), Special Activity Airspace (SAA) info, and airport/reference data as mission support services through SWIM to TFMS and external customers via the web A solid foundation for additional segments that continue to deliver greater access, integrity, and extensibility External and Legacy System Integration – a functional two-way data exchange, AIMM will establish a link providing data to NAS consumer systems and users through the SWIM infrastructure

Proposed areas for Future Work Expansion of SAA web services to integrate dynamic SAA data (ERAM, other automation systems) Expansion of Airport/ Reference data web services to integrate dynamic Airport configuration and other dynamic data in airport environment (TFDM, other automation systems) Other data for NAS consumption (Procedures, Obstructions, Terrain, Publications (Charts, AIP, SOPs)) Business Intelligence services Constraint Evaluation and Deconfliction Other data and common information services to support Bravo Objectives
