Evolution of the Florida NextGen Test Bed 2018 Space Traffic Management Conference

ERAU NextGen Florida Test Bed (FTB) Overview Value Creation NextGen is a series of FAA programs safely evolving the National Airspace capacity from radar based air control to a satellite-based air traffic management. ERAU is a Trusted NextGen Partner with an 10 Year legacy of leading the Florida Test Bed. The Test bed conducts R&D, prototyping, demonstrations, and validations of technologies and standards for Air Traffic Management using a collaborative Stakeholder engagement model. Industry, FAA, and ERAU Investments and funding are in place to meet Operational Improvements. FAA Entrenchment Thought Leadership Technical Innovation Business Models Expansion: Adjacent Markets Execution Excellence Embry-Riddle Role Embry-Riddle brings together, as a Partnership, the best-in-class of Government, Industry and Academia expertise, systems and investments. The ERAU Partnership is focused on retiring near and mid-term Operational risks through Management of the Florida Test Bed, research, rapid prototyping, integration and demonstrations.

What is the FTB? FTB is a microcosm of the NAS using real and prototype systems Projects have utilized both semi-live and simulated data input Projects exercise NextGen functionality in all domains Projects utilize SWIM technology for information exchange Utilizes hierarchical SWIM-based infra-structure Emphasizes sharing using disparate Enterprise Messaging Service (EMS) connectivity Emphasizes latest FIXM/AIXM/WXXM specifications Infrastructure and systems are flexible and configurable to meet the needs of a project 4 4 4

FTB Support of STM NAS Integration Space vehicles/operators can interact with the following FTB systems: 20 EnRoute Centers 3 Oceanic systems Airport surface operations for 3 concurrent towers Airline/Flight Operations Center applications and utilities Integrated Collaborative Decision Making and Support Tools such as TBFM and TFMS Supporting simulation services mixing both live and simulated tracks FAA SWIM services and infrastructure for real-time data sharing and connectivity with external partners such as space vehicle operators Extensive audio/visual display capabilities 5 5 5
