Embry-Riddle’s NextGen Role Program Management

• Key Points– In effect until 2013– Embry-Riddle is the prime– Embry-Riddle provides the Program Manager– Tasks assigned to consortium members– Other agencies can use this contract vehicle

Other Transaction Agreement (OTA)

NextGen Program

Management

• Work under this OTA … expands the integrated airport concept and laboratory to serve as a Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Test Bed

• ERAU and the FAA will perform operational research, evaluation and demonstration of synergy among available, emerging and planned NextGen concepts, procedures, technologies and capabilities at the NextGen Test Bed, and at other facilities or locations as required by specific tasking.

• This facility is a component of the NextGen Test Bed centered on the state of Florida.

R&D Activities

NextGen Program

Management

Task A – Demonstrate the Integration of Convective Weather into TMA and ERAM:◦ Effort supported by: Embry-Riddle, Lockheed-

Martin, CSC, Ensco, Boeing, Volpe Center◦Project is well underway and on schedule. ◦ The formal demonstration is scheduled for

November 18, 2008. ◦A second event for Test Bed ribbon cutting and

demonstrations for VIPs and media is planned for Spring 2009. NextGen

Task D – Flight Data Object Demonstration◦Effort supported by: Lockheed-Martin and Embry-

Riddle◦ The kickoff meeting was conducted and issues

resolved.◦ The project plan drafted and submitted to

members.◦ The formal demonstration is scheduled for early

March, 2009. Task E – UAV Research Opportunity NextGen

OTA Activities

NextGen Program

Program Schedule

• Network-enabled integration of predictive weather into TMA and ERAM– “Reduce Weather Impact” solution set in the

NextGen Implementation Plan• Concept demonstration, not an acquisition or

implementation solution• All documents will be made available to the public.

NextGen Program

Management

Task A – Integrated Wx Into TMA and ERAM

• Benefits:– Showing how the integration of predictive weather

into decision support tools may improve operations by allowing for proactive planning.

– Using an open architecture (swim-like) to integrate predictive weather into ERAM and TMA.

– Providing RUC data to TMA from an alternative source via swim-like concepts.
