Review of REDAC Recommendations, Responses, and Open Actions

Presenter Leo Prusak/Francisco Bermudez

Summary: The Chairman, Mr. Prusak opened the meeting with a review of Prior Action 

Items, Current Action Items, and Finding and Recommendations (F&Rs) status. The 

subcommittee decided that they would later address the Operations Concept Validation 

(Spring_2017_1) F&Rs. A final resolution on the subcommittee’s decision regarding 

these items was postponed until after the Runway Incursion Reduction Program 

(Spring_2017_2) presentations later in the agenda. The subcommittee inquired about 

when the National Aviation Research Plan (NARP) document would be available. The 

subcommittee was advised that the NARP was going through a redesign to provide 

additional clarity of its content, as suggested by the subcommittee. The NARP would 

also include a five-year outlook. The March 2016 action for an FAA presentation for the 

Deep Dive – Demonstrate Aviation Weather (Wx) Products was considered closed 

after Ms. Starr McGettigan’s Deep Dive briefing on UAS Weather later in the meeting.

The action item from August 2015 regarding the weather concepts from requirements to 

implementation remains open. The current action item from August 2016, regarding 

providing the subcommittee a copy of the UAS Implementation plan, remains open.

Presentation Budget Briefing

Presenter Mike Gallivan

Summary: Mr. Gallivan reported the FAA FY 2017 budget request of $15.899B 

comprised approximately $9.99B for Operations, $2.8B for Facilities & Equipment,

$166M [post meeting corrected to $167M] for Research, Engineering, and Development 

(RE&D), and $2.9B for Airports. The FAA RE&D FY18 President’s Budget Request is 

for $150M. This request has not been signed. The House Appropriation Committee has 

proposed an FAA RE&D FY18 budget of $170M. The Senate Appropriation Committee 

has a proposed an FAA RE&D FY18 budget of $179M. The subcommittee inquired 

about the Senate and House FY18 budget cuts for Aeromedical Research. The FAA
2

received no rationale for the budget cuts to aeromedical research. The subcommittee 

inquired about the Senate and House FY18 budget increase, with emphasis on UAS. 

The FAA received no rationale for FY18 budget increase.

Presentation 1A10D NextGen – New Air Traffic Management Requirements

Presenter Francisco Bermudez, ANG-C72

Summary: At the subcommittee’s request, Mr. Bermudez provided a presentation on 

the New Air Traffic Management (ATM) Requirements. This presentation focused on the 

benefits, research goals, accomplishments, and future plans of the New ATM 

Requirements. The New ATM Requirements program is needed to identify new 

opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of air traffic management 

operations. Activities include the research and development of procedures, tools, and 

systems in support of operational improvement. The subcommittee requested to 

examine how New ATM Requirements align with the new NextGen Advisory Committee 

(NAC) priorities. For the Spring 2018 REDAC meeting, the subcommittee required that 

this briefing contain a more detailed funding level allocation of each New ATM 

Requirements project.

Presentation Deep Dive FAA Pathfinder – Focus Area 1, 2, and 3

Presenter Rob Pappas

Summary of Briefing: Mr. Pappas detailed the programs coordination with CNN in 

developing ways Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) may be used to operate safely 

over populated areas. The key regulation in Pathfinder Focus Area 1 is FAR Part

107.39. The goal is to develop a waiver process for Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 

Part 107.39, which allows operations over people, a repeatable waiver process, and the 

development of a viable technical approach for the validation of safety risk testing and 

mitigation. Mr. Pappas transitioned to FAA Pathfinder Focus Area 2: Extended Visual 

Line of Sight (EVLOS). The goal of Pathfinder 2 is to safely expand the operational

envelop of UAS to include EVLOS Operations. Step III-Phase III of the program is 

nearing completion. Pathfinder Area 3: Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) began by 

detailing their Concept of Operations. Pathfinder 3 has completed 2 of 3 phases. Phase 

III was underway with expected completion in late 2017. Phase III explores new 

research of BVLOS flight in Class G airspace, explores performance of airborne Detect 

and Avoid (DAA) sensors, and will develop methods to safely operate in controlled 

airspace (Safety Risk Management Document [SRMD] process).

Presentation A11.K Deep Dive - UAS Weather

Presenter Starr McGettigan

Summary of Briefing: This program focuses on the research of weather information 

and capabilities needed for safe and efficient UAS operations. Ms. McGettigan began 

the presentation by giving an overview of program accomplishments to date, which 

included analysis on weather impacts, analysis on UAS weather information gaps, a 

briefing of initial research findings to FAA UAS community, and an ongoing
3

collaboration effort with UAS FAA organizations. Two case studies were provided. The 

first was a survey and mapping study. The main focus on this study was low-altitude 

UAS operators and the weather tolerances for these UAS. The study detailed the 

operation of a DJI Phantom III UAS in the Miami area. The outcome of this study 

provided weather tolerances for the DJI Phantom III UAS. The second study detailed a 

maritime surveillance case. The main focus of this study was for high-altitude UAS 

operators and the weather tolerances for these UAS. The study detailed the operation 

of a Global Hawk UAS on a flight from the Miami area to the Boston area. This study 

provided weather tolerances for the Global Hawk UAS. It was noted that winds aloft 

forecasts at these altitudes lack precision. As a result, this study could not provide a 

conclusive wind aloft tolerance for the Global Hawk UAS. The subcommittee 

suggested that this program seek collaboration with weather balloon operators in an 

effort to address this gap. The subcommittee also expressed concern that the pace of 

UAS development is exceeding that of FAA research and analysis.

Presentation A11.K Aviation Weather Research Program (AWRP)

Presenter Danny Sims

Summary: Mr. Sims started the briefing by giving a short overview of the AWRP. He 

informed the subcommittee that the AWRP works very closely with the National Oceanic 

and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) to 

meet NextGen’s requirements. Mr. Sims pointed out that with the expected reduction of 

funding, AWRP would not stretch current projects; AWRP will cut certain projects. The 

rationale being that AWRP would be unable to sustain the current level of effort with a 

reduced budget in FY18-forward. The subcommittee concurred with Mr. Sims’s 

conclusion. The briefing transitioned to cover recent program accomplishments and 

future plans. AWRP conducted an internal performance assessment analysis of the 

program. The subcommittee inquired if the research program changed based on what 

the program learned during the performance assessment analysis. When asked, the 

FAA noted that the entire research program does not necessarily change, but the 

individual capability does change.

Presentation A11.N Commercial Space Transportation (CST) RE&D Program

Presenter Paul Wilde (For Di Reimold)

Summary: Mr. Wilde began the briefing by giving an overview of the CST program and 

its structure. CST is broken down into four Research Areas—Research Area One: 

Space Traffic Management & Spaceport Operations; Research Area Two: Space 

Transportation Vehicles; Research Area Three: Human Space Flight; and Research 

Area Four: Space transportation Industry Viability. The presenter reminded the

members of the relatively small budget of $2 million that is allocated to CST. This 

funding will be spread across these four Research Areas. The subcommittee 

questioned the fourth Research Area, which has a vision of long-term industry growth. 

The subcommittee questioned how the CST program will promote industry growth. The 

briefing transitioned to cover recent program accomplishments, goals, and current 

projects within each Research Area. It was pointed out that the key to integrating CST
4

within the NAS is the FAA’s implementation of Time Based Flow Management (TBFM). The 

subcommittee expressed confusion as to how TBFM would help integrate CST into the NAS. 

A subcommittee member inquired if there are any requirements on non- operative R&D 

systems, to which the FAA confirmed that research is currently being done on Department of 

Defense assets.

Presentation 1A01C Operations Concept Development & Infrastructure (ATDP)

Presenter Maureen Keegan

Summary: Ms. Keegan began the briefing by informing the REDAC that the FAA is 

proceeding with NAS modernization based on the NextGen Operational Concept for 2025. 

This program assesses the interaction of changing roles and responsibilities of NAS service 

providers and pilots, airspace changes, procedural changes, and new mechanized systems 

for distributing weather, traffic, and other flight related information. The program 

uses analyses and associated white papers to validate whether future system 

requirements meet NextGen goals, including ERAM, data communications, the 

future voice switch, changes in surveillance requirements and associated procedures, and 

the establishment of new roles and responsibilities to support increased productivity. ATDP 

will develop methods, metrics, and models to demonstrate that the modernized systems can 

handle anticipated growth in traffic demand according to Terminal Area Forecasts for

incremental years. The subcommittee and Ms. Keegan agreed that NextGen will be 

responsible for the earlier concept work of ATDP. ATDP detailed their main 

Research Focus Areas. These Research Focus Areas include PBN and Time, 

Speed, Spacing Tools Optimization, Cross-Capability Integration Analysis, and 

Improved TBFM/TFMS Data Integration. The subcommittee requested a more indepth explanation on how the concept and engineering work trickles down to work 

packages. The subcommittee requests to receive a briefing focusing on how the 

concept analysis work is executed from NextGen into Implementation for the next 

REDAC meeting.

Presentation 1A01A Runway Incursion Reduction Program (RIRP)

Presenter Ben Marple and James Fee

Summary: The RIRP’s objective is to continually discover, research, implement, maintain, 

and innovate technologies that will detect the incorrect presence of an object in the 

Runway Safety Area at every airport, and deliver a directive cue to the operator who

can take corrective action. Mr. Marple delivered the RIRP programs response to the 

REDAC recommendations. Anticipated research activities were detailed for FY18 and FY19. 

These activities included, advanced Runway Incursion (RI) technology procurement 

for Runway Incursion Prevention Shortfall Analysis (RIPSA), Small Airport 

Surveillance Sensor (SASS) surveillance capability development and testing, and 

initiate research on Surface Taxi Conformance Monitoring (STCM). A subcommittee 

member questioned if the safety risks have been identified and if quantifiable risk 

assessments are available; the member was informed that the FAA was still in process 

of quantifying these risks by bringing the program to the Acquisition Management System 

(AMS) lifecycle. Mr. Fee reminded the members that there are over 400 airports in the 

United States that have no technology and are at high risk for runway incursions. 
5

The subcommittee requests that RIRP provides additional information regarding RIPSA, 

SASS, and STCM. The subcommittee would like the program to further elaborate on the last 

meeting’s findings: (1) identify the causal factors associated with runway incursions at 

small and medium airports; and (2) identify feasible runway incursion prevention 

technologies to address those factors. The DFO will facilitate coordination between 

the subcommittee and the RIRP program office to provide the requested clarification 

on the program.

Presentation Out brief from the 2017 USA-EU ATM R&D Seminar

Presenter Bruce Holmes

Summary – Mr. Holmes detailed the 2017 USA-Europe ATM R&D Seminar. The ATM 

R&D seminars help develop solutions that are globally relevant, in compassing Single 

European Sky ATM Research (SESAR), NextGen, and other international

programs. The participants included various Academia, Industry, 

Government and, Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP). The technical 

advancements presented at seminar highlighted the goals of the U.S. Next 

Gen and EU SESAR air traffic management concepts that have been held back by 

the absence of affordable, bi-directional, low latency connectivity. Strong themes that 

emerged at the keynote and technical papers focused on the digital aviation 

ecosystem and continuous replanning and optimization.

Presentation Implications to NAS Management from recent Industry 

Developments

Presenter Leo Prusak

Discussion – FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center’s (WJHTC) Director, Ms. 

Shelley Yak, posed the following three questions to the subcommittee members: “Are 

there R&D areas within the NAS operations subcommittee that should be 

lower/higher priority? Are there R&D areas that the FAA is not examining that 

should be added to the NAS OPS subcommittee? What do you see coming on 

the horizon regarding NAS Operations that may require future R&D efforts?” 

The subcommittee decided to use the current Research, Engineering, and 

Development Advisory Committee’s (REDAC) chairman, Dr. Robert John 

Hansman’s responses from 2014 as a basis to respond to these questions.
6

Presentation Day-1 Overview and Recap

Presenter Leo Prusak

Discussion – The subcommittee discussed a new action to have MITRE 

come to the next REDAC to provide a deep dive briefing on the Precision

Hawk project associated with Pathfinder. The subcommittee also took a new action to 

get a representative from UBER Elevate to the next REDAC meeting. The 

subcommittee gave an action to RIRP—RIRP will hold teleconference meetings via 

WebEx to provide greater clarity on each project’s function. They also opened an 

action to receive a briefing focusing on how the concept analysis work is 

executed from NextGen into Implementation. Another action was regarding the 

New ATM Requirements briefings. The subcommittee requested: a) an examination of 

how the program’s requirements align with the new NAC priorities; b) an 

explanation of how the program relates to RTCA work; c) an explanation of 

how the $7.5 million is spent on R&D funding efforts; and d) the future

requirements for the research being done on the workstations. On the CST briefing, 

the subcommittee requested more clarification on why TBFM is considered the key to 

commercial space integration. Also, more clarity is needed on the allocation of funds 

across the four Research Areas. The subcommittee suggested removing two of the 

four Research Areas. Per the DFO’s suggestion, a briefing from the Centers of 

Excellence (COE) will be beneficial for the committee.

Day 2 – September 13th (Engility Conference Room)

Presentation 1A07A0/1A08A0 NextGen Air Traffic Controllers (ATC)/Technical 

Operations (Tech Ops) Human Factors

Presenter Bill Kaliardos

Summary: This program focuses on documenting and transitioning Human Factors 

Lessons Learned from concept exploration and early implementation activities. 

NextGen ATC/TechOps Human Factors promotes the use of

Human Factors Best Practices, Human Performance Metrics, and Human

Factors Standards in the early phases of NAS programs and procedures. Mr.

Kaliardos detailed the program’s FY17 accomplishments and completed research. 

The briefing transitioned to cover current and planned research under FY16 and 

FY17 Project Level Agreements. The research includes PBN Human 

Performance Metrics, Established on Required Navigation

Performance (EoR) Human Factors Integration Considerations of Time, 

Speed, and Spacing Tools, and Human Performance Consideration for 

Contingency Operation in a Degraded NextGen Environment. The

subcommittee expressed concern that the budget for this research was not provided 

in the briefing. The subcommittee recommended that additional funding information 

be included in the presentation. The DFO stated that suitable funding information 

would be incorporated into slides during the next NAS Ops meeting.
7

Presentation 8BA000 Air Traffic Control/ Technical Operations Human Factors

Presenter Dan Herschler

Summary: Mr. Herschler provided a brief overview of the ATC/Tech Ops 

Human Factors program. The program’s purpose was not only to provide

technical sponsors with timely and appropriate Research and Development products

and consultation services that improve safety and efficiency of complex ATC systems, 

but also to provide support to Human Factors efforts for FAA acquisition programs. 

He explained the benefits of the program to the FAA and what determined its 

success. He further addressed the program’s R&D needs within the five focus 

areas and elaborated on the human factors standards. Mr. Herschler highlighted 

the program’s accomplishments in the areas of workforce optimization, improved 

safety, NAS Technology Integration, and human performance enhancements. The 

subcommittee expressed concerns regarding whether these systems were designed 

to interact with one another. The risks regarding the Research Requirements Process 

Transition were also discussed.

Presentation A12.E Weather Technology in the Cockpit (WTIC)

Presenter Gary Pokodner

Summary: The program focuses on identifying causal factors for weather related 

General Aviation (GA) safety risks and hazards. The program promotes enhanced 

safety by trying to reduce/resolve adverse weather risks before they can result in an 

accident, using increased information and training to pilots. Mr. Pokodner explained the 

current and planned accomplishments for selected projects, such as the Wind Study, 

Remote Oceanic Meteorological Information Operational (ROMIO), Eddy Dissipation 

Rate (EDR) Technology Transfer (TT) project, and Crowds and Clouds. He also 

mentioned that pilots may not trust and want to use the new technology, and therefore,

the program is using operational demos to help pilots stay on board. Mr. Pokodner 

presented the accomplishments of his projects by describing how the recipients used 

the findings/outputs of his projects. He concluded with the new projects WTIC was

working on for FY17/18. The subcommittee emphasized that the WTIC program was of 

high value and a beneficial activity as it was transitioning into commercial applications.

Presentation A11.D FAA Cybersecurity R&D Plan

Presenter John Lapointe and Chuck Agava

Summary: At the subcommittees’ request, Mr. John Lapointe commenced the 

briefing by providing an update on the FAA Cybersecurity R&D Plan based on 

approach, requirements, funding profile, and gaps. The FAA Extension, Safety, 

and Security Act of 2016, section 2111 authorizes five components, such as 

the Comprehensive and Strategic Aviation Framework, Update on 

Cybersecurity Implementation Progress, Cybersecurity Threat

Model, National Institute of Standards and technology Information security 

standards, and cybersecurity research and development plan. Mr. Chuck
8

Agava pointed out that the program did their best to map the requirements to the 

research areas. The presenters also discussed the funding profile of the Cybersecurity 

R&D Plan. One of the subcommittee members questioned if the program maintained

a metric that showed whether a sufficient amount of research had been done 

on a requirement. The FAA clarified that some requirements come to a logical 

end, whereas others might be ongoing requirements based on the subject 

areas or the new oncoming programs. The subcommittee also recommended 

that the program work closely with their customer or sponsor to fulfill the 

research requirement for a desired output. The subcommittee also inquired if 

the program had considered requirements on an airplane. The members also 

recommended that the program reach out to the American Institute of 

Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and other industry companies like GE, 

NASA, etc.

Presentation Day 2 Overview and Recap

Presenter Leo Prusak

Discussion – The next REDAC session for spring 2018 will be held March 

27-29, and the next fall session will be September 12-13, 2018. The

subcommittee members expressed that the Human Factor briefings were not

necessary at the NAS OPS subcommittee. The subcommittee highlighted the 

positive outcomes from the R&D work being accomplished by WTIC. The

subcommittee informed the DFO that JetBlue performed a review of the FAA 

Cybersecurity R&D Plan and the comments would be shared with the FAA 

POCs for the Cybersecurity R&D plan. The DFO informed the subcommittee

that the FAA response for RIRP Finding and Recommendations (F&Rs) was

almost final. The subcommittee members were advised that if they deemed 

the FAA response to be unsatisfactory and the outcome of their review of

additional documentation provided by the RIRP program office to be insufficient, 

then another F&R could be opened at the next REDAC meeting.
