Area Navigation/Required Navigation Performance RNAV/RNP • RNAV/RNP = Performance Based Navigation (PBN) • RNAV – Fully utilize capabilities of ground/space/onboard equipment – Fly any desired route – no need to go fix-to-fix (VOR-to-VOR) • RNP – builds on RNAV – Alerts when desired performance is not met – Performance expressed as RNP X, (X = 95% accuracy in nmi) • Benefits – Reduced fuel/emissions/delays – SAFE separation reduction – other a/c, air space, ground obstacles – Curved Paths IEEE NJ Coast Chapter May 19, 2010 Federal Aviation Administration 25

System Wide Information Management (SWIM) Purpose • Migrate applications toward a loosely coupled, opendistributed processing environment IDS ETMS STARS MEARTS ATOP ITWS WARP ERAM ARTS TMA • Expose data to both new and legacy applications • Support interoperability • Reduce unique interfaces and COST Inter.
