Unique, Limited Flight Data Interfaces

• Different System Information, Trajectory and Problem view causes uncertainty &

inefficiency

• Limited Interoperability (Between ATC system domains; aircraft and ground systems)

• Unpredictable Results Lead to System Delays and Operational Costs

Current NAS Problems …Current NAS Problems …

Opportunities Exist to Improve Today’s Environment

• Traffic growth requires near-term operational improvements that reduce delays and increase operating efficiency

• Net centric approaches can enable information sharing and remove constraints imposed by legacy NAS systems

• Cross domain information sharing and improved decision support can overcome traditional airspace boundary constraints that limit efficient flight paths

• Advances aircraft capabilities and new CNS technologies will enable operational improvements not possible with legacy CNS technology

Many Pieces Already Exist, But …Many Pieces Already Exist, But …We need to get going on information sharing and integration!!We need to get going on information sharing and integration!!

The Daytona Beach Testbed

Daytona Beach International Airport

ELABORATE On the TestBed Approach Here!!!

Daytona Enables Early Integration and Evaluation

• Enhance safety, security and efficiency at airports and surrounding airspace

• Integrate existing/emerging technologies in a seamless operational environment

• Include airport, FAA, airline and aircraft operational components

• Only environment where nearly all of the pieces are integrated for all ATM domains– Look at information sharing concepts, trajectory interoperability , NAS-wide DST integration– Lower/medium density environments allow all participants to evaluate concept …

Minimizing disruption at higher density airports– Develop standards for airport and regional (metro-plex) integration

• Evolve incrementally from airport surface operations to arrival/departure/en route ops

• Move capability to higher-density, OEP airports
