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. NextGen Program Management The “OTA”

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, ◦ A second event for Test Bed ribbon cutting and demonstrations for VIPs and media is planned for Spring NextGen Program Management OTA Activities

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, Task E – UAV Research Opportunity NextGen Program Management OTA Activities

NextGen Program Management 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.
