What Data are Available? Q:


Background

To track impacts and benefits of recent operational improvements, the FAA

publishes an annual NextGen Performance Assessments Report (ANG-

B72, Almira Ramadani)

In FY15, we included a qualitative assessment of FAA information sharing

improvements

– Assessed the status of SWIM subscription services

– Categorized key data elements and benefit mechanisms through

conversation with several external subscribers

In FY16, we are conducting a quantitative assessment aiming to:

– Characterize the emerging market of FAA data users, and

– Evaluate impacts and benefits of information sharing improvements by

focusing on commercial offerings for airlines, airport operators, and other

non-FAA users

What new Data will become

Available via SWIM? Q:


How does SWIM Benefit FAA

and NAS Stakeholders?

• More data available as we evolve

• Easier access to data – “Provide once, consume many”

– Eliminates time consuming and costly development of custom

interfaces

– Eliminates need for separate point-to-point connections for

individual consumers

– Provides evolutionary path for NAS services and data

– Simplifies configuration control

• Enterprise-level capabilities (e.g., monitoring, security)

• Consistency of policy enforcement

• Consumer empowered to create value-added products

Access to the FAA’s enterprise of data through a single connection

Q:


What is in SWIM’s Future?

Add new services

Enhance SWIM capabilities

Access to more data sets

Upgrade SWIM Infrastructure

Q:


SWIM Flight Data Publication Service (SFDPS)

Overview

SFDPS is a SWIM Data Producer that provides data

– SFDPS publishes XML messages to consumers via NEMS

Flight Messages in Simple XML or FIXM format

Airspace messages in Simple XML or AIXM format

Operational messages in Simple XML format

General Information messages in Simple XML format

SFDPS provides:

– Publish/Subscribe data feed

– Request/Response data access

– Flight Matching and a unique flight identifier

– FIXM and AIXM data formats

– Historical database (15 days)

Operational since July 2015


Objective

– Provide consistent spatially and temporally correlated NAS status and

constraint information via an enterprise SWIM service

Benefits

– Reduces costs for developing and maintaining capabilities required by

NAS systems and users for requesting and parsing NAS data

– Improves efficiency for FAA service providers to collect data relevant to

timely decision making

– Improves bandwidth and system resources by sending filtered data – only

what is needed, not all data

Status – Received JRC approval as part of SWIM Segment 2B

– Schedule slip to FY17; planned IOC still targeted for 2020 timeframe

NAS Common Reference (NCR):

Enterprise-Level, Information Exchange Service


•Objectives • Provide Operations and Maintenance (O&M) status of NAS infrastructure

and the SOA services

• Provide initial assessments to NAS Operations (OPS) for infrastructure and/or service outages

•Status • NAS programs collect status (e.g., TFMS, STDDS, RMLS)

• Used for troubleshooting and monitoring of program components

• Program monitors may be FAA operated or vendor controlled

• Tools, protocols and robustness of monitoring varies among programs

•Benefit • Aggregate, process and share combined enterprise infrastructure and

producer/consumer status

Enterprise Service Monitoring (ESM) Capability


Purpose – Provide strong authentication between NAS Systems and external systems

History – IAM was included in the original SWIM Segment 2 plan and requirements

– SWIM customer need accelerated operational capability to meet security

requirement of NAS to non-NAS Strong Authentication

Key Dates: – Test NCP for Key Site - March 2016 (90% Goal)

– NCP Functional/Product Baseline – September 2016

– IOC - November 2016 at NEMC

– ISD - July 2016

Status: – AIMM / NAVlean need was deferred to AIMM Release 3.

– Added Load Balancers to IAM design

– HW/SW builds are complete (Tech Center). Developing System/TI Docs. Preparing

for CDR, ARB, Security Risk Assessment, and Test NCP. SRMDM is signed.

– ISR Checklist activity in progress

Identity and Access Management Phase 1 (SWIM

Segment 2A)


Provides additional security controls to SWIM

– Available for use by any NAS system

Expands Authentication

– Validates identities of interconnected NAS systems

Introduces Authorization

– Fine-grained management of access to enterprise data based on Attributes in

Directory

Key Dates:

– 2016 Start

– 2017 Deliver Authentication Support for Internal NAS Connections

(Expands locations for IAM HW/SW to cover all internal systems)

– 2020 Deliver NAS Access Control / Authorization Capability

(ISD for New function, new software)

IAM Phase 2 (SWIM Segment 2B)


What does the SFDPS

Viewer Look Like? Q:


SWIM Tools and Applications

are Available: What is SVT? Q:

• What is the SWIM Visualization Tool (SVT)? – SVT is a government developed prototype fielded to select TRACONs as

part of TFDM Early Implementation. It is a web application tool that

provides Surface Situational Awareness using surface data from ASDE-X

and ASSC beyond the control tower through STDDS.

• What does SVT do? – Provides the airport layout which includes runways, taxiways, buildings,

and other airport features.

– Provide situational awareness for airports with shared departure fixes

– Tracks aircraft positions along with their data blocks which include flight

number, aircraft type, etc.

FAA’s Two-Way Data Exchange:

Caribbean Initiative

•FAA’s ATFM System will

feature advanced capabilities

to allow two-way flight

information exchange

supporting cross-border ATFM

•The system offers scalable

services, beginning with flight

and track data for shared

situational awareness. More

advanced services allow ANSP

partners the ability to initiate

Traffic Management Initiatives

(TMIs)


International Data Formats

• NEMS Advanced Transformation and Mediation Services promotes and

enables interoperability, governance, and secure information sharing at

an enterprise level between producers, consumers, and systems that

utilize SWIM content in diverse data formats and protocols.

• Advanced Mediation services provides content interoperability through

transformation of content from legacy data formats into compliance with

new FAA NextGen adopted data standards for information exchange.

Content backward compatibility is another common use case.

Example:

TFMS Release 13 will be mediated into FIXM 4.0 and AIXM 5.1 compliant

formats in Dec 2016 timeframe.
