Research Goals

Funding Requirements 

Goals
        - To upgrade FAA programs to current technologies
        - To meet FAA standards, and IT standards
        - To develop tools better serve FAA research needs.

Deliverables
        - Software, websites, source code, and documentation.
        - Complete the development of programming manual of Style. This will be used for future software development standard.
        - Complete a draft report on software integration plan.

P7.2 Software Integration

Our Vision

RPA P7 Software Programs

August, 2016

P7.2 - Software Integration
        - Update existing programs to current technology and environments.
        - Meet FAA information technology standards and requirements.
        - Each program must be a standalone program after upgrade.
        - The programs must be able to communicate with each other, and generally act like a software suite.
        - Integration means information sharing and information passing, does not mean combining programs into one big suite.
