ATD-1 OIA Benefits: Risk Identification and Mitigation

Summary: 	No major risk identified covering NAS Integration of TSAS into TM and ATC Operations 	

Successfully integrated TSAS with Terminal and En-route Automation Systems

Developed and executed procedures and training supporting TSAS operations between the Center and Terminal TM and ATC Operations.

TM and ATC managed nominal and off-nominal events while meeting performance objectives and without any major workload issues.

Operation with GIM-S is necessary

Assessed En Route delivery accuracies to the TSAS MF

Collected TMC and ATC feedback regarding:

TM TMC tool setup and adaptation; 

TMC to TMC and TMC to ATC Coordination; 

CHI (Effectiveness and Priorities); 

Off-nominal event management TMC and ATC strategies

General satisfaction with TSAS as an effective tool to manage PBN Operations

Focus Areas: Delivery Accuracy to the MF; Terminal CHI; Cross-facility Command and Control; Training; Policy for Use

ATD-1 OIA Benefits to WP3 (TSAS Implementation)

The effort established a reference for the FAA Operations community regarding the TSAS concept and the requirements necessary for its integration into ATC and TM operations  

NASA Tech Transferred OIA Software to the FAA WP3 Program as GFI for the TSAS development 

NASA provided FAA Second Level Engineering (SLE) a TBFM Test platform (Benefit future TBFM build development and testing efforts)

NASA OIA Training packages have been provided to the FAA WP3 program. 

OIA results have been provided to FAA Human Factors

OIA participants are currently supporting the TBFM WP3 (TSAS) requirements refinement and development efforts and are expected to participate throughout the development and implementation processes (AJV-7; AJV-8; NATCA TMCs & ATCs)

ATD-1 OIA Benefits to WP3 (TSAS Implementation) (continued)

FAA’s GIM-S Development and Test team participated in the OIA obtaining valuable insight into test, adaptation, concept of use and user acceptance of the GIM-S and extended metering functions

OIA participants(SLE/Test) involved with the setup, adaptation and operation of the automation platforms are available to inform the WP3 design, test and implementation efforts.

The OIA effort progressed the Tech Centers Test and FAA Operational Simulation capabilities including:

Enhanced Target Simulation Capabilities 

RNAV Operations; 

Off-nominal Events

TBFM/STARS/ERAM Multiple Facility Integration Setup and Operation
