ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky Technical Aspects of OATA ACG Workshop, 17 February 2004 Bert Nijhof, Shanda Cordingley

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky Logical Architecture Why Logical?

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky Organisation (OCD/CONOPS) Goals: What must be done l work flows; l activities; l communication patterns. How is it done l assign (sub-) activities to systems or humans; l departments; l assign activities to departments. System (OATA) Goals: What are the Application Activities l relations and dependencies. How is it done l software programmes and modules; l computers; l networks; l interoperability standards. Recapitulation of Principles

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky Old Approach: Main functions, function and sub-functions l radar data processing l flight data processing l flow management l avionics Current Approach: Objects, co-operating objects l Aircraft l Airway l Flight Plan l Sector l Radar l and the services they provide (e.g. FL change) ATM Application Activities

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky l The controller requests a FL change l The Flight Plan Object coordinates the change, since it knows which aircraft is flying the route F It will pose the question Can this aircraft fly on FL x to the Route Object; F The Route Object will ask the Airspace Object and the Airway Object, whether the actual aircraft equipage allows to fly on FL x. l The Flight Plan Object will change the FL or it will reject the change l Note that for this FL change the following operational issue must be solved: F what is the scope (current sector, current centre, remainder of the route) F when is co-ordination required e.g. FL Change

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky l The issues addressed are purely related to the Operational Use of the System l The process used is a formal Engineering Method; F Identify which Objects from the Operational Domain(s) should be represented in the system F Define the boundary of the responsibility of each object F What questions about themselves should those objects be able to answer (services) The result is a LOGICAL ARCHITECTURE! Operational & Engineering Skills required

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky OATA is concerned primarily with the ATM Application! Communication COTS Middleware User Interfaces ATM Application Logic ATM Application Technique Architecture Layers

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky l Translation of operational requirements in formal, unambiguous engineering language (No need for skills in theology to explain the meaning of plain text requirements during factory- and site-acceptance testing) l Close daily co-operation between the architects and operational experts is essential l Alignment of the requirements for all involved parties (ANSP, Airlines, Airports, Aircraft builders, ATC Systems Manufactures, etc.) l Alignment of the target dates for development by the involved parties through the Evolution plan l Organisation of a European wide buy-in Benefits of the Approach

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky OATA Logical Architecture A formal unambiguous specification of the operational behaviour of future ATM/CNS systems accepted by the stakeholders

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky Progress 2 out of 6 Iterations have been completed.

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky Iteration 1 l Airspace Management; F Use Case: Submit a Regional Airspace Use Plan for Feedback l Airport Operations F Use Case: Taxi-in of an aircraft l ATC and Flight Management F Use Case: File a Flight Plan F Use Case: Change Flight Intent to Resolve Conflict l Aeronautical Information Management F Use Case: Obtain Pre-Flight Update Briefing l Surveillance F Air and Ground Surveillance

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky Use cases: l Submit ACC Capacity Plan for Feedback; l Resolve Ad-Hoc Conflicts; l Handle Aircraft Departure.

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky System Wide Information Management Using Cross Domain Components

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky Cross domain modules: l Ensure that everybody has the same information l Communicate updates immediately, everywhere l Ensure data ownership rights, etc l Are not just data stores but provide services F standardise the services that will access the shared data, rather than standardising the data, avoiding the risk that data will be used in a different way Consequently everybody interprets the data in the same way! Identification of data and functionality common to different ATM domains Built in Interoperability delivered by Cross-Domain Modules

ACG Workshop, 17 Feb 2004 – OATA and Single European Sky Cross-Domain Modules A common set of services and data and on top of that: l Domain specialisations (extensions) possible F domain-specific data F domain-specific services l Each physical system will need its own instance of these cross domain modules
