Development, integration, and field demonstration of relevant technologies of the IADS system directly address recommendations made by the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Integration Working Group (NIWG) on Surface and Data Sharing and the Surface Collaborative Decision Making (Surface CDM) concept of operations developed jointly by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and aviation industry partners. NASA is developing the IADS traffic management system under the ATD-2 project in coordination with the FAA, flight operators, CLT airport, and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA). The primary goal of ATD-2 is to improve the predictability and operational efficiency of the air traffic system in metroplex environments, through the enhancement, development, and integration of the nation's most advanced and sophisticated arrival, departure, and surface prediction, scheduling, and management systems. The ATD-2 project is a 5-year research activity beginning in 2015 and extending through 2020. The Phase 1 Baseline IADS capability resulting from the ATD-2 research will be demonstrated at the CLT airport beginning in 2017. Phase 1 will provide the initial demonstration of the integrated system with strategic and tactical scheduling, tactical departure scheduling to an en route meter point, and an early implementation prototype of a Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) Electronic Flight Data (EFD) system. The strategic surface scheduling element of the capability is consistent with the Surface CDM Concept of Operations published in 2014 by the FAA Surface Operations Directorate.Document ID20180002424Acquisition SourceAmes Research CenterDocument TypeTechnical Memorandum (TM)AuthorsGing, Andrew*(NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA, United States)*Engelland, Shawn*(NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA, United States)*Capps, Al*(NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA, United States)*Eshow, Michelle*(NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA, United States)*Jung, Yoon*(NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA, United States)*Sharma, Shivanjli*(NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA, United States)*Talebi, Ehsan*(Millennium Engineering and Integration Co.
