New ATM Requirements  1A08D

What are the benefits to the FAA

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 improvements.

The service analysis and operational demonstration activities within this program support the development of operational improvements that will increase the number of arrivals and departures at major airports.

What are the Research Goals

The New ATM Requirements research goals include:

Address the need for harmonizing protocols and standards for enterprise information use both internally and with external agency partners

Develop collision avoidance systems for new user classes

Integrate weather data into automated trajectory management systems

Develop requirements to exchange and synchronize trajectory information between aircraft and ATM systems

Develop advanced communications technologies for data exchange between air and ground systems

Evaluate cloud architecture to provide command and control services in the future

Develop a transition strategy for the possible use of COTS displays as Common Displays in the NAS.

New ATM Requirements  1A08D

FY18 Planned Activities

Develop enterprise governance artifacts in compliance with ICAO standards

Develop interoperability requirement of collision avoidance systems

Conduct engineering studies and analysis translating weather information into operational impacts

Develop and validate weather requirements for National Weather Service (NWS) to improve forecasts in support of FAA operational decision making

Develop operational scenarios for synchronization of air/ground procedures

Perform Validations Testing of Satellite-based NextGen and SESAR communication requirements with the international community to support Standards Development
