Presenters Christina Recascino – Vice President for Research, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Douglas Sweigard – Senior Program Manager, Aviation Programs, Lockheed Martin Co. Wade Lester – Director of NextGen Research, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Integrated Airport: The History Nearly 800 million passengers fly each year On 789,000 flights Logging more than 60 billion miles On planes who have an average load capacity of 80%

History Problems abound in the air transportation system – Fewer On-time arrivals – Mechanical delays – Weather delays – Lost luggage – Near mid-air collisions – Incursions – Gate to Gate delays – Fatal Mishaps

NextGen To modernize the air management system in the United States, the JPDO was created to spearhead the NextGen movement In 2005, ERAU and Lockheed Martin began discussions of setting up a University-Private- Public partnership whose mission was to tackle issues related to testing and implementation of NextGen concepts

The Integrated Airport was born Mission: Accelerate NextGen through technology demonstrations that integrate near-term NextGen enhancements Embry-Riddle and Lockheed Martin are the lead partners in the Integrated Airport Consortium

Joined by: CSC Ensco Boeing Jeppesen Mosaic ATM Frequentis Sensis Harris Barco NATS UK Volpe Research Center

Overview of Consortium Creation of non-binding MOU that all partners sign Agree to work on projects related to NextGen – as decided by planning group Companies are required to contribute IRAD funds

Accomplishments 2007 Establishment of NextGen Testbed at Daytona Beach International Airport and opening demonstration 2008 First technical demonstration creating an AWIM and data sharing across partner systems 2008 Received $2 million in federal support through the FAA to support the testbed and engage in NextGen demonstration – Predictive Weather Integrated into the TMA systems using a SWIM platform

Present and Future 2008 Established a contractual agreement with the FAA through Embry-Riddle Funding goes to consortium for technology demonstrations that accelerate NextGen concepts, as contracted by the FAA Goal is demonstration and evaluation of concepts providing information to the FAA that can lead to implementation

Future Plans March 11, 2009 – Next demonstration focuses on International Flight Data Object Sharing 2009 and forward – Working with the FAA to establish the next sets of demo for 2009 and 2010

A Complex Challenge Many Existing or Emerging Solutions Many Efforts Underway Demonstrations & Ops Evaluation AIRE Integrated Airport Green Approach NASA Mitre Research Surface Evaluations An Integrated Approach is Essential … But How Do We Get There??? Current National Airspace Systems Emerging New Systems

Today’s System Lacks Common Situational Awareness System Limitations Result in Increased Passenger Delays and Airline Costs Oceanic En Route Departure Arrival Airlines (AOC) TFM A/P Takeoff A/P Landing A/P Ramp Unique, Limited Flight Data Interfaces Different System Information, Trajectory and Problem view causes uncertainty & inefficiency Limited Interoperability Between ATC system domains and Airport Stakeholders Unpredictable Results Lead to System Delays and Operational Costs Limitations of Today’s Systems Ramp TSA A/P Systems ATC

IAI Planning Process Conduct Annual IAI Planning Activity Re-examine the IAI Objectives – Objectives Objectives Discuss Each Member’s R&D Goals for the year – Relative to the IAI Activity Goals are evaluated for common threads Jointly Develop Plan – Leverages collective R&D efforts – Produce Integrated threads that can be demonstrated Ideally look at 2-5 year activity stream – Laboratory demos -> Operational Evals/Trials -> Leave Behind Functions – Artifacts Artifacts

Leverage industry investment and capability Long-term vision Build on FAA’s OEP Implement trajectory-based decision-making Integrated Airport Goals Early evaluation leading to operational implementation Phased Evaluation Approach Integrate stakeholders via common information sharing Solve near-term NAS problems NextGen Implementation Plan

Collaborative, Trajectory-based Flight Planning Recommendation Operational evaluation leading to near-term implementation of oceanic & en route collaborative flight planning Approach Op Evaluation Phases 1. Airline – Oceanic collaboration (A/L files early intent, receives oceanic constraint evaluation) 2. Airline – En Route collaboration (A/L files early intent, receives en route constraint evaluation) 3. Accelerate SWIM to enable Oceanic – En Route trajectory-based exchange and planning Demonstrations and Operational Evaluation leading to near-term implementation Airline, FAA and International ANSP Stakeholder participation Benefits Goal User business-preferred flight profiles (Schedule predictability, fuel savings) Ability to react to system constraint changes (Pre-Flight and during flight) … Maintain Predictability Seamless airspace operations … Enhances flow and reduces delays NextGen Enablers Extends FDO … International FDO interoperability Demonstrates SWIM and Trajectory-Based Enabler benefits Supports user-preferred optimum descent profile planning applications
