## SATS Tech Integration & Flight Experiments

**Purposes**
**Flight Experiments:**
**Flight validation of enabling airborne technologies**
**Revolutionary Integrated Flight Deck**
**Automated Flightpath Management**
**Communication-Navigation-Surveillance Systems**
**Integration of technologies for four operating capabilities**
**Experimental Data Relevant to Certification and Procedural Issues**
**Data for FAA and industry decision-makers**
**Demonstration:**
**Show stakeholders and the public the operational readiness of technologies and public implications of on-demand, distributed air mobility (per 2010 Operational Concept).**
**Data to support stakeholder decision-making on SATS deployment.**

**Notes:**
Project Overview is a very top-level summary.  

Programs/projects reporting to the CPMC for the first time shall include the project overview and project commitment charts in the front of their presentation to the CPMC. 

Minimum Required Information:
•  Salient features provide information on what, when, how, and resource requirements.  
•  Objectives should be crisp statements that answer the question, “Why are we doing this and what are the significant outcomes of this project?”

***Audience for SATS Demonstration Flights***

## Breakout Group Charter

**The Technology Integration and Flight Evaluation Breakout Group will focus predominantly on the following questions:**
**Who should comprise the audience for the SATS 2005 Demonstration?  **
**What information will those audiences require?  For what purposes?**
**What else is required to prove SATS works?**
