Preface

This report provides the results of the activities performed under
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contract
NAS2-98005, RTO-42, Task 3 - Perform a Research and Development Gap
Analysis. The objective was to update and extend a previously produced
research and development gap analysis. This task extends the results of
NRA RTOs 2 and 23 to include several more information sources. More
importantly, it provides an assessment of gaps in the research
applications needed to achieve the enhancements to the NAS services
described in the AATT ATM/OPSCON - 2001 Update which has been provided
as CDRL 2 of this RTO.

The process employed by SRC to accomplish this task is similar to that
which was used successfully to accomplish the gap/overlap analysis in
NRA RTO 2 and 23. The major differences between this task and the
previous work are:

-   a gap analysis to identify research gaps in the new AATT ATM/OPSCON
    2001 rather than the FAA ATS 2005 CONOPS as was done for NRA RTO 23,

-   a focus on gaps in enhancement area applications (functional
    additions to today's air traffic control system) that results in
    identifying Operational Needs Statements that are not satisfied by
    ongoing research, and

-   addition of an analysis to determine research activity overlaps
    among NASA Decision Support Tool Development, Distributed Air Ground
    (DAG) Concept Elements, the FAA Free Flight Program, the FAA Safe
    Flight 21 Program, and the FAA ASD Implementation Steps as outlined
    in FAA's Architecture 4.0 document.

# 1. Introduction

The objective of this task was to update and extend a previously
produced research and development gap analysis. This task extends the
results of NASA Research Announcement (NRA) Research Task Orders (RTOs)
2 and 23 to include several more information sources. More importantly,
it provides an assessment of gaps in the research applications needed to
achieve the enhancements to the National Airspace System (NAS) services
described in the Advanced Air Transportation Technologies (AATT) Air
Traffic Management Operations Concept (ATM/OPSCON) - 2001 Update which
has been provided as Contract Delivery Requirements List (CDRL) 2 of
this RTO.

The predecessors to this program were RTO 2 \"Global Gap Analysis of
Operational Requirements Derived from Future Operational Concepts for
the National Airspace\" which was completed in November 1998 and RTO 23
\"Assessment of Research and Development Efforts Supporting Future
Operational Concepts for the National Airspace System.\" RTO 42, Task 3
increased the scope of research and development programs evaluated.

Appendix B contains a list of the documents and programs used for gap
analysis in RTO 23, a list of documents for the extraction of
Operational Need Statements (ONS) in RTO 35 and RTO 42, and a list of
documents used in this (RTO 42) gap analysis. A total of 40 documents
were used to develop ONS, which are verbatim extractions that represent
operational needs contained within these documents. Of these 40
documents, 13 new documents were added to the study since RTO 35. Even
with the addition of these new documents, no additional (or new) ONS
were found and no conflicting ONS were identified. Table 1 provides a
summary of the ONS by source document.

2\. Analysis Methodology

The R&D Gap Analysis methodology relied heavily on the air traffic
service areas approach utilized by the FAA System Architecture and
Investment Analysis (ASD) office. Steve Bradford of (ASD) office has
identified nine air traffic service areas. For the purposes of RTO42,
these nine service areas were modified into the nine enhancement areas.

Figure 1 depicts the analysis methodology. Interpretation of this figure
requires some definition of terms. To begin, Task 2 of this CDRL
identified the nine enhancement areas that are defined below.

> **Flight Planning** - provides flight plan support for pilots and
> flight plan data processing. Capabilities include pre-flight and
> in-flight flight plan processing and usage, and the provision of
> flight planning information and development support. Collection and
> processing of proposed and amended flight plans and dissemination of
> approved IFR and VFR flight plans are also included.
>
> **Separation Assurance** - ensures that aircraft maintain a safe
> distance from other aircraft, terrain, obstacles, weather and selected
> types of airspace not designated for routine air travel. Capabilities
> include on-board and ground based separation functions on the airport
> surface and in the terminal, en route, and oceanic domains. Separation
> assurance results in a clearance from the controller to the pilot or
> in a command from an on-board system such as the Traffic Alert and
> Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) to execute an evasive maneuver.
>
> **Situational Awareness and Advisory** - provides advice and
> information to assist pilots in the safe conduct of flight and
> aircraft movement. Capabilities include the development and
> dissemination of weather, traffic and NAS status information and
> advisories to enhance the situational awareness of pilots and
> controllers. This area also includes the generation of alerts
> including conflict alerts, terrain and obstacle alerts, severe weather
> alerts, wind shear alerts, wake vortex alerts, and microburst alerts.
> Normal IFR/VFR traffic advisories, automatic terminal information
> service (ATIS), and weather advisories including icing and clear air
> turbulence are also included in this area.
>
> **Navigation and Landing** - provides electronic and visual guidance
> to pilots/aircraft to enable safe and efficient use of the NAS.
> Capabilities include airborne, landing, and surface guidance.
> Information is provided to pilots to determine their location from
> point-to-point during flight with and without visual reference to the
> ground. This includes navigation reference definition, on-board
> navigation, remote determination of aircraft course and position, and
> approach and landing guidance.
>
> **Traffic Management-Strategic Flow** - provides for orderly flow of
> air traffic from a national system perspective in order to maximize
> overall NAS throughput, flexibility, and predictability. Capabilities
> include long term planning, flight day traffic flow management,
> tactical Special Use Airspace (SUA) allocation, and traffic flow data
> archiving and performance assessment. This service strategically plans
> the number of aircraft using the national system to ensure safe,
> orderly, and efficient movement under varying operational conditions.

**Figure 1. Gap/Overlap Analysis Methodology**

> **Traffic Management-Synchronization** - supports the merging,
> sequencing and spacing of aircraft for efficient use of the NAS from
> the perspective of a local facility or group of facilities.
> Capabilities include synchronization of both airborne and surface
> traffic. This service tactically coordinates the number of aircraft
> using the local system to ensure safe, orderly, and efficient movement
> under varying operational conditions.
>
> **Airspace Management** - ensures the safe and efficient use of
> airspace as a national resource through design, allocation, and
> stewardship of the airspace. Capabilities include airspace design and
> strategic management of SUA. Classification of airspace to balance the
> varied needs of user groups and the general public in a safe and
> efficient manner is accomplished by this service including the
> development of airspace structures, route structures, and aeronautical
> charts.
>
> **Emergency and Alerting** - monitors the NAS for distress or urgent
> situations, evaluates the nature of the distress, and provides an
> appropriate response to the emergency. Capabilities include emergency
> assistance and alerting support. This area provides emergency
> assistance to local, state, federal agencies, foreign agencies and
> private entities in support of their aviation activities including:
> airspace and airport planning; procedures development; training;
> maintenance; flight inspection; charts and forms; and, law enforcement
> support. This area also includes flight monitoring and following,
> emergency assistance, and military and government operations
> assistance. In addition, search and rescue (S&R) alerts are initiated
> after determining that an aircraft may be overdue, lost, or downed and
> physical search activities are supported by providing information and
> direction.
>
> **Infrastructure/Information Management** - ensures a safe and
> efficient NAS through management and operation of the air traffic
> control infrastructure, by promoting the optimal use of the aviation
> radio spectrum, and through the dissemination of aeronautical
> information. Capabilities include monitoring and maintenance,
> communications management, and aviation information collection and
> dissemination. This area provides for the monitoring of all NAS
> systems. It also includes the management of infrastructure strategic
> resources, infrastructure systems, logistics, documentation, system
> status information, and operations and maintenance (O&M) data. It does
> not include the infrastructure systems (e.g., Airport Surveillance
> Radars (ASRs), Air Route Surveillance Radars (ARSRs), Automatic
> Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)) themselves. Air/ground,
> ground/ground, and air/air communications management including
> spectrum management, communications interfaces and protocols,
> information transport, data and communications security are
> encompassed by this area. Support for NAS-wide information collection
> and distribution to all users and service providers including
> collection and dissemination of aeronautical information (i.e.,
> aeronautical charts, flight information publications, air traffic
> control, Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs)) and weather information in support
> of safe and efficient operation of aircraft is also provided.

The enhancements to the NAS will be accomplished by the implementation
of a series of proposed applications or projects that fall into the
following categories:

-   AATT Decision Support Tools

-   AATT Distributed Air/Ground Concept Elements

-   Safe Flight 21 Enhancements

-   Free Flight Phase 1 and 2 Enhancements

-   FAA ASD Implementation Steps

Each of the applications within these categories has been allocated or
mapped to a specific enhancement area and in most cases to only one
enhancement area. This mapping is provided as Appendix B in CDRL 2. An
example of the allocation process for the Flight Planning Enhancement
Area is provided as Table 2.

Returning to Figure 1, the first level of Gap/Overlap analysis applies
to the Enhancement Area Applications. Figure 1 illustrates the complete
methodology for identifying both technology and funding gaps. However,
this study has focused on the application-level technology gaps alone.
Funding status of the various applications is provided in Appendix C. It
can be pointed out that major unfunded applications include NAS-WIS, and
most DAG Concept Elements. Funding status and definitions of the FAA ASD
Implementation Steps were not available at the time of publication of
this report. The lack of definition of ASD Implementation Steps (IS)
means that no operational need statements (ONS) can be assigned to them.

The detailed results of the Gap Analysis are presented in Appendix D and
the Overlap Analysis in Appendix E.

3\. Analysis Results

This study identified 351 gaps affecting 405 ONSs. This count includes
ONSs affected by more than one gap so that the total affected ONSs will
be fewer than 405. Appendix D provides a full listing of the
application-level technology gaps. The three Enhancement Areas with the
highest percentage of gaps are:

-   Emergency and Alerting with 73% of ONS unmet

-   Airspace Management with 66% of ONS unmet

-   Navigation and Landing with 47% of ONS unmet

## Table 3 provides a summary of the gap analysis for each enhancement area. All enhancement areas have significant technology application gaps. Airspace Management, Infrastructure/Information Management, and Strategic Traffic Management were found to contain the majority of gaps.

The identified Operational Needs Statements create numerous requirements
on the future air traffic management system. The programs and projects
included in this study address many of these requirements. However, a
number of requirements are not addressed. If these gaps or capability
shortfalls are not filled, then the indicated number of ONS will not be
satisfied. The major application gaps identified include:

-   Dynamic Airspace Use -- Domestic and Oceanic (49 ONS affected)

-   Reduced Oceanic Separation Standards (31 ONS affected)

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Reduced Domestic Separation Standards (10 ONS affected)

Many ONSs require implementation of particular infrastructure
improvements. Until decisions are made concerning the implementation of
these improvements, there are potential gaps that might not be filled.
These infrastructure improvements include:

-   NAS-WIS (77 ONS affected)

> This improvement is required to satisfy a dominant portion of the
> future NAS communications and information distribution needs. It may
> be accomplished by a collection of small improvements rather than a
> single NAS-WIS program.

-   ADS-B Implementation Decision (23 ONS affected)

> This technology has been under study for over 15 years and is
> identified as a solution to surveillance coverage, accuracy, and
> integrity needs for domestic (continental United States), oceanic, and
> worldwide airspace.

-   GPS certified for sole means, with LAAS/WAAS (19 ONS affected)

> The GPS has been a concentrated area of study for the FAA since the
> first GPS satellites were launched. The augmentation programs have
> been identified and contracts awarded to provide the needed precision
> and integrity to support civil aviation navigation requirements.

-   Datalink Implementation (14 ONS affected)

This technology is generally defined as two-way digital communications
from the ground-to-aircraft and aircraft-to-aircraft. The difference
between this technology and NAS-WIS is that datalink focuses on the
content and use of this one-medium feature. Numerous studies over the
last 20 years have identified an important role for data link in
transferring information to and from the aircraft with very high
accuracy and integrity.

-   National Infrastructure Management System (170 ONS affected,
    including the 77 ONS gaps associated with NAS-WIS above).

The lack of a well defined and funded program to make the necessary
management and information system infrastructure improvements will
seriously impede the fulfillment of many of the ONS.

Safe Flight 21, an important FAA program, consists of the demonstration
of nine specific technologies that are critical to the concept of free
flight. These nine technologies are individually and collectively needed
to address over 64% of the Narrative Level I CONOPS entries. The nine
technology areas are:

-   Flight Information Service (FIS)

-   Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT)

-   Improved Terminal Operations in Low Visibility

-   Enhanced Visual Operations and Situational Awareness

-   Enhanced Operations for En Route Air-to-Air

-   Improved Surface/Approach Operations

-   Airport Surface Display for the Controller

-   ADS-B for Surveillance in Non-Radar Airspace

-   ADS-B to Enhance Radar and Automation Performance

Overlaps exist among many of the FAA and NASA programs and projects.
Specifically, AATT Tools and DAG Concept Elements overlap with the Free
Flight and Safe Flight 21 programs. In fact, one approach to achieving
Free Flight is built on several NASA AATT Tools so that in many
instances the overlap is intentional.

The major overlaps occur among the following programs and projects:

-   DAG CEs and SF-21

-   SF-21 and ASD Implementation Steps

-   AATT Tools and ASD Implementation Steps

It should be noted however that the ASD Tools may be predicated on DAG,
SF21, and AATT Tools resulting in intentional overlaps. Detailed program
and project overlaps are provided in Appendix E.
