Introduction

• Boeing’s plan

• Role of datalink

• Role of ATN

• Boeing has a vested interest to succeed in enhancing capacity• $30 billion annual core business linked to future

capacity of air traffic system• Created new business unit

• Growing rapidly• Developing significant Washington D.C. presence

• Substantial internal investment• Outside acquisitions• Willing to consider investment in infrastructure and new

forms of doing business with government

Boeing is Committed to This Project

• Significant capability and resources

• History of bringing safety certified, service ready products to market

• Boeing excels at requirements driven system integration

• $30 billion annual core business relying on success

System Objectives

Rigorous Systems Engineering Approach

• Document air traffic system operational requirements which ensure that long-term needs are met

• Prioritize operational requirements

• Document a minority opinion if necessary

• Make results available to everyone to develop solutions

6-Month Working Together Objectives

Integrated total system solution• 3 fundamental features

• Trajectory-based flow planning, traffic planning and separation management

• Common information network • Airspace design and procedures criteria

• Enabled with advanced space-based CNS• Open system principles – growth for the future• Phased implementation plan – builds on the FAA’s plan

Working Together, using a systems engineering approach

Implementation Strategy

• Common Information Network• Datalinks

• Air Traffic Services datalinks• CPDLC• Position• Dynamic Re-routes• Intent• Weather

• GCNSS• Air segment to space segment• Space segment to ground segment

Communication is Key to Boeing Plan

• Data Link will be a part of the Boeing concept

• Re-routing requires flight plan uplink with loading

• Boeing has been supporting the Build 1 CPDLC function under TSA with AAL

• Other features inherent in the FAA CPDLC plan may also be required to support enhanced operations.

• Analysis of the operational concept will determine the complete requirements CPDLC

Controller Pilot Data Link andThe Boeing Concept

• The communication link required performance has not yet been determined.

• Existing ACARS communication may be used in the early phases.

• A new, more robust protocol will be required for any application that reduces separation.

• Boeing has been working with AAL in the development of VDL Mode 2.

ATN and the Boeing Concept

• ATN is a candidate for air-ground ATS datalink

• Also a candidate for the air-space and space-ground links

• System Design Spiral: Mission level requirements will drive an operating concept that determines operational requirements
