William J Hughes Technical Center Next Gen Integration

William J. Hughes Technical Center Next. Gen Integration & Evaluation Capability (NIEC) Presented by: Vince Lasewicz Laboratory Services Group Date: 01/07/10 Federal Aviation Administration

Overall Next. Gen Test Bed § Integrated, multi-domain NAS environment. § Part laboratory…to support evaluations § Modeling and Simulation Capabilities. § Part real world…to support actual demonstrations § Use real sites, real equipment and real airspace in a non-interfering manner. § Demonstrations to validate the simulations § Understand integration and interoperability issues. § Fosters Gov’t and Industry partnerships in support of NAS demonstration activities. January 2010 Federal Aviation Administration 2

Next. Gen Test Bed - Big Picture § Three main components: § Florida Test Bed § DBIA Facility, Daytona, FL § ERAU Supported § Industry Partnerships § Texas Test Bed § NASA Facility, DFW, TX § Strong Terminal capabilities § New York Test Bed § WJHTC, Atlantic City, NJ § Next.

Next. Gen Integration & Evaluation Capability (NIEC) § Synergism of lab capabilities already at the Tech Center § Rapid prototyping and simulation environment anchored by a new “Display Area” § Supports “integration and evaluation” of new Next. Gen concepts & technologies § Fast time & real-time human-in-the-loop simulations § Overall NIEC is scalable with multiple levels of fidelity § NIEC Display Area - low to medium fidelity § Main labs - high fidelity § Good mix of legacy systems and new technologies § Supports “transition” to Next.
