For effective ATFM Operation
Need for information
sharing between ATFM Systems
TSG established to achieve ATFM to
ATFM systems interconnection
TSG’s objective
Allow information sharing
Achieve certain degree of
synchronization between ATFM
SystemsHarmonizing data
format and infrastructure
(possibly FIXM & SWIM Technology)
Progress of TSG
- Identified Basic Ops Use Cases
- Identified Requires Data Fields
- Mapped Data Fields to Existing Standards, ie FIXM
Next Steps
- Testing of sharing of CTOTs information between two ATFM system
- Drafting of ICD
