Infrastructure Roadmaps

• Motivation – Efficiently accommodate NGATS vision

• Roadmaps– Automation– Communications– Surveillance– Navigation– Weather



Automation Assumptions

• Enhanced TFM, where assets adjust to flow, not flow constrained by infrastructure

• Net-centric operations via SWIM-based architecture link ATM, customers, DHS, and DoD into common information environment

• Automation and Data Convergence across domains with a Common Display Subsystem

• Converge with automation “Back-Rooms” and integrate security management

Navigation Assumptions• The FAA requires an aggressive transition to space-based service.

– Decisions needing to be made with the aviation community.• share burden with operators through equipage mandates• transfer costs to airports through statutory changes

• FAA will provide NAS-wide space-based service:– RNAV/RNP (GNSS – including augmentation systems)– Baseline approach service is Cat I or equivalent

• Policy determination on what is adequate backup– FAA will provide NAS-wide backup for RNAV/RNP– FAA will provide Cat I ILS as backup at OEP airports (~55 airports)– End State - Most Cat I ILS & all Cat II/III ILS will be divested (transferred or

decommissioned)• Fleet Equipage

– Today = Mixed Fleet – GNSS, D/D and D/D/I– Future = Fleet equipped with GNSS

• Decision/specification of “Backup/Redundant” systems• GPS dual-frequency (L5) service crucial

Navigation Roadmap Decisions2007 - VOR decision for drawdown based on GNSS

- 2015 - VOR decision on complete drawdown 2007 - Rightsizing DME Requirements, e.g., Service Volume,

DME Architecture2008 - Decision on next generation Cat I landing system/GLS &

mandate.Potential need for Local Airport Repeater (LAR) (leverageWAAS investment to provide low-cost GBAS).

– 2012 - Begin ILS Cat I drawdown - limited backup at OEP airports– 2020 - Mandate execution

2008 - Decision on next generation CAT II/III service mandate,pending feasibility & schedule of potential ABAS/GBAS solutions and risk mitigation strategies– 2012 - Begin drawdown of ILS Cat II/III services

- CAT II/III service provision transitions to airport & operator- Airports responsible for all lighting costs

– 2020 - Mandate execution

Weather Assumptions – High Level

• Ongoing Weather Sensor Sustainment– Issues

• Sustainment of ASR-9/11 when surveillance no longer ground based• Need for ground based WS/MB functionality (SE study)

• Rulemaking to support in situ aircraft observations (MDCRS and TAMDAR-like systems)

• Migrate to Common NEO Communications• Develop General Weather Processor

– Issues• WARP End of Service• CIWS S/W brought up to standards (GFE)• ITWS integration

• Fund 4-D database

Weather Roadmap Decisions• 2006 – Investment Decision for TDWR Service Life Extension

– 2018 – Investment Decision to Sustain TDWR/LLWAS-NE

• 2006 – Decision re FY08 and beyond as funding insufficient for NEXRAD Dual Pol; RPD in the works

– 2016 – Investment Decision for NEXRAD – SLEP or Replacement

• 2006 – Investment Decision to replace AWOS (becoming insupportable)– 2010 - Investment Decision for (1) ASOS sensor (Snowfall Rate); potential to eliminate Contract Wx

Observers at 36 Towers (~ $12M/year Ops cost avoidance), and (2) AWSS TR– 2016 – Investment Decision for AWOS follow-on TR

– 2020 – Investment Decision to replace ASOS

• 2006 – Status of remaining 150 SAWS TBD; may be used for spare parts and/or sites & regions receive system gratis but must pay Ops costs (SAWS related to Sfc Obs Service Standards)

• 2006 - Initiate FAA Weather Requirements Analysis to converge Wx System functionality into NGATS netcentric Wx capability

• 2006 – Investment Decision 2A for GWP (1st phase is WARP/CIWS functionality)– 2007 – Investment Decision 2B for GWP – 2008 - Investment Decision to Fund FAA portion of NGATS GWP– 2009 – WARP likely sustained w/existing O&M $$ till 2010/11 if funding not ‘perturbed’; otherwise possible

Investment Decision needed to sustain it to 2014 (when subsumed into GWP w/CIWS) – 2021 – Investment Decision for NGATS GWP TR

• 2006/7 – Service Unit decision to remove 3 MIAWS Prototypes upon ASR-11 commissioning• 2006/7 - Investment Decision on operational requirement for JAWS (Alaska) (convert to O&M) • 2008 - Investment Decision for S/W mods to WARP/ITWS to accept Enhanced MDCRS data

(humidity & turbulence)– 2016 – Decision to mandate weather sensor equipage on aircraft (Jetliners first, then Taxi/Commuter

later)

• 2008 – Investment Decision for ITWS toTech Refresh initial ITWS 6-8 ITWS production systemsField remaining 12 systemsExtend cost-effective coverage of NEXRAD/ASR to MIAWS sites – 2017 – Determine if prudent to TR ITWS or move ITWS functionality into GWP and MB Predict capability goes to CAP**; then

DeComm ITWS

• 2009 – Investment Decision to Sustain LLWAS-RS WS capability – TR 2011-2012– 2017 – Decision to DeComm LLWAS-RS based on low WS accident rates, more widespread training,

and possible coverage from NEXRAD (Eng study needed)

• 2009 – Investment Decision to fund FAA portion of NGATS 4-D Wx Data Base• 2010 - Investment Decision for ADAS TR to continue ALDARS after Comms Functionality

subsumed by SWIM– 2016 - Investment Decision to move ADAS/ALDARS functionality to CAP

• 2010 - Maintain CIWS prototype until 2014; then consolidate functionality into NGATS GWP

Facilities Assumptions

• Consolidate 200+ radar and some tower facilities into 15 GSDFs

• Keep ATCTs running until virtual ATCTs are viable (require a timeframe to modify this assumption).

• No new TRACONs will be built after 2012.• No new contract ATCTs will be built

after 2012.
