FAA Data Standards Initiative: Systems Engineering Base For Air Traffic Modernization

Abstract

The evolution and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) relies on collaboration among its participants, and interoperability and integration of existing and new air-and ground-based systems. A key supporting component is the exchange of timely and accurateinformation among these participants and systems. Traditionally, these information exchanges have been defined in a pair-wise manner, with locally-defined data structures that need to be transformed with each exchange. As the amount of information and the number of exchanges grow, this approach becomes untenable. To address this problem, the FAA and aviation community has begun to develop data exchange standards, reducing or eliminating the need for unique, system-to-system interface definitions.
