## Convective Weather/TMADemonstration Nov 08 Daytona Beach NextGen Test Facility

**Convective Weather/TMA****Demonstration ****Nov 08 Daytona Beach NextGen Test Facility**

- Jim Rogers, Project Lead
- Advanced Technology Development and Prototyping Group (AJP-67)
- April 23, 2008

## Background

- “Integrated Airport” established 2003 by Embry Riddle (ERAU) with Lockheed Martin and three other companies
- Consortium grown to 12 partners focusing on integrated demonstration activity (surface, departure, en route and arrival domains)
- Efforts to date funded through industry research and development (IR&D)
- Lab facility at the DAB international terminal building
- Nov 07 demo of consortium concept of an Airport Wide Information Management (AWIM) system – industry prototyping of Terminal Data Distribution System (TDDS) capability envisioned in NAS architecture
- FAA FY-08 budget is $1.96M for the “Next Generation Integrated Airport” at Daytona Beach
- Working to conclude Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) with ERAU April/May
- Expanding project as a key element of evolving regional test bed centered state of Florida

## FY08 Project Objectives

- Operational analysis and ConOps development of arrival management improvements
- Evaluate SWIM-enabled ConOps and controller user interface concepts for ERAM-based re-planning around convective weather for flights en route to meter fix
- Convective weather product definition
- Integrate NextGen functional improvements in Daytona Test bed to evaluate arrival concept transition steps (Candidate List)
-  Integrate Orlando TMA for Daytona Test bed
- Convective Weather Service deployment
- TMA subscription to SWIM Convective Weather for display on the TMA Display.
- TMA publishing of Metering Information
- TMA assesses updated flight and trajectory data to update metering sequence/adjustments.
- ERAM subscription to TMA Metering Information Service and display on D-Position
- ERAM subscription to Convective Weather for display on D-Position
- ERAM Trajectory planning modified to identify convective weather conflicts
- ERAM D-Position CHI modified to display Convective Weather and Trajectory conflicts with Convective Weather
- Re-planning tools automatically update SWIM-based flight plan and trajectory

## Convective Weather Impacts on TMA

**Convective weather can cause TMA strategic reroute to meter fix.**
**Convective weather can cause TMA strategic reroute to a different meter fix.**
**Convective weather can cause Tactical Controller vectoring of aircraft around convective weather **
