Overview

• Air Traffic Management Evolution
• Aeronautical Information
• Evolution/Modernization
• Enterprise Architecture
• Governance,
• Framework,
• Standards
• Roadmap
• Transition opportunities
• Conclusion

Air Traffic Management

• Air Traffic Management (ATM) continued to move
  toward a more information driven environment, it
  is important to have consistent and reliable
  information
• Aeronautical information is an important
  component in the safe and efficient movement of
  aircraft

Aeronautical Information Modernization
Industry Airport Maps,Flight Management
Systems, Electronic Flight Bags, AIS/MET Datalink

Enterprise Architecture

• Enterprise Architecture lays out the form of
  the enterprise
• Form must align with the business strategy
• Architecture The fundamental organization of a
  system embodied in its components, their
  relationships to each other and to the
  environment and the principles guiding its design
  and evolution (IEEE 1471 2000)
• Output of EA includes artifacts that
• Describe the enterprise from various viewpoints
• Constrain degrees of freedom so IT
  implementations align (and stay consistent) with
  strategic intent of the management

6
Aeronautical Information EA

• Enterprise Architecture aids development and
  guides implementation of a modernization roadmap
  for AIM
• Creates a common understanding of AIM business
  services
• Defines a minimum set of common standards and
  recommended practices
• Transition steps from AIS to AIM

7
Aeronautical Information Governance

• Develop Governance include
• Scope
• Roles and Responsibilities
• Processes
• Update cycle
• Configuration Management
• Lexicon

8
Aeronautical Information Framework

• Several frameworks are available
• Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework,
• DOD Architecture Framework,
• The Open Group Architecture Framework
• Understand Pros and Cons
• Select the best fit
• Socialize, socialize, socialize

9
Aeronautical Information Standards

• Common Language
• Data Elements
• International agreed to format
• Increase consistency and accuracy
• Common Exchange Mechanism
• AIXM for aeronautical data exchange
• ICAO SARPs
