Why CPDLC ?

• Supports FAA Flight Plan Goals and ATO Business
  Objectives
• Increased Safety
• Potential reduction of operational errors
• Greater Capacity
• Increased sector capacity via decreased
  communications workload
• Increased fuel efficiency
• Increased airport arrival efficiency rate
• Ability to meet future ATC demands
• International Leadership
• Harmonization with EUROCONTROL LINK2000 and
  CASCADE programs
• Enables realization of benefits by other tools
• Delivery of complex resolutions via Conflict
  Probe
• Establishes an infrastructure for the future
• Data link is a fundamental building block of the
  future NAS

CPDLC Build 1

• Ceased operations at 1201 AM on October 1, 2004
• 3.3M annually for Miami sustainment only
• Does not include FAA personnel costs
• FY05 funding of 3M insufficient to sustain Miami
• 24 months of successful operation with no
  associated OEs
• Over 80,000 messages exchanged with no corruption
• Approximately 16,000 operational transactions
• Over 2,640 minutes of voice channel occupancy
  time saved
• Over 800 cleared direct MT issued
• 31 aircraft equipped with Rockwell Collins
  avionics
• Capturing lessons learned for incorporation into
  formulation of national program in the ERAM time
  frame

8
CPDLC National Build

• Program under investment analysis
• Opening baseline is to develop the 4 Build 1
  Services capturing lessons learned from Miami
  experience
• Integrate with ERAM architecture
• Develop independently and in parallel with ERAM
  baseline releases
• Build CPDLC release on ERAM EIC then sync to
  available release
• Benefits and alternatives analyses will examine
  extensible services
• Benefits vs. price of risk analyses will define
  final program
• Use ERAM-provided common services, e.g. data
  reduction, adaptation, software distribution,
  monitoring control
• Implement architectural mitigation in lieu of
  extensive design assurance

9
CPDLC National Build (contd)

• Provide robust failure recovery and ground
  security solutions
• Implement SARPs Edition 2 communications stack
• Interoperable with EUROCONTROL Link 2000
• Replace Build 1 R-side controller CHI and
  introduce D-side CHI
• Introduce interfacility communications capability
• 2 key sites for testing beyond WJHTC
• Initial Operating Capability (IOC) at first key
  site in June 2010
• Deploy nationally after 2010
• Strategy requires coordination with ERAM and
  aviation community
• First rollouts to maximum benefit areas, e.g.
  hubs, as practically feasible
• ATN SARPS edition 3 with security future
  enhancements
• Work closely with EUROCONTROL
