Lead Up to Today

• Initially, a Topic for Main Agenda• Then, Set-up Storyboard Demonstration• Next, a Featured Topic for our “new”

V&V Modeling & Simulation Workshop• Finally, Pushed off the Workshop Agenda!

Yay for Harry!!


3

Second Thoughts …

• Previous Work – ATCA Demonstration– Positive Feedback– New Programs,

Capabilities, and Customers

• Current Progress– TBFM, ERAM, STARS– ADS-B, ASDE-X,– SWIM


4

Other Concerns …

• National Academy of Sciences Report (2015)

– “That the System Architecture is not well-developed, was hard to discern…”

– Assurance that Verification and Validation considerations are incorporated early in architecture

– Build an Architecture Community with growing diversity of thought, perspective and knowledge


5

We are not Alone …• Investigate What Other Folks are Doing

– ITEA, IEEE Meetings & Conferences– Research DoD & Industry


6

All Things Considered …

• Message to Tell About Our NextGen Storyboard– Simplify & Communicate:

“How Our Technologies Work”– Build a Community that Can:

“Tell Our Story”

We are taking on a difficult challenge and can lead the way!


Understanding the NAS• Current Infrastructure

– Old Reliable Technologies (e.g. Radar, Radios)– New NextGen Technologies & Concepts

(e.g. Time Based Flow Management, TBO, UAS)– Complex, Evolving, System-of-Systems Architecture

7


8

Challenges• Diagrams are Hard to Understand

– NAS Simplified (Current & Future)– Operational Views (OVs)

• Documentation is Voluminous– Concept of Operations – Concept of Use (x Number of Programs)– Requirement, Design, Test– Implementation, etc, etc, etc …

• Now - How to Simplify?


9

Approach• Layout Major Elements

– Programs & Capabilities– Relevant Infrastructure (Facilities & Networks)– Phase of Flight (Surface, Terminal, En Route)

• Figure Out - How it Works?– Concept of Operations– Major Message Flow– Sequence of Events

• Make it Come to Life!– No Static Pictures!!


10

Solutions• Low Fidelity Animation

– Overview & Detail– Standardize ICONs, Eliminate Clutter!!

• Subject Matter Experts– Wealth of Knowledge– Every Domain, Program, Capability (2+)

• Test Laboratories– Conduct “Live” Scenarios of Functions,

Features, and Capabilities


11

Storyboard Examples• Overview Storyboards

– ASDE-X– Weather

• Detailed Program Information– Text Descriptions– Deployment Maps– Video Files

• Detailed Storyboards– TBFM– ADS-B


12


13

Storyboard Process• Concept of Operations

– “How it Works”

• Preliminary Design Review

- “Layout of Storyboard”

• Critical Design Review

- “Sequence of Events”• Code Development

-“Build Animation”

• Independent Verification & Validation


14

Future Enhancements• Finish Remaining Detailed Storyboards

– TFMS, TFDM, NVS, CSS-Wx, RMLS

• Conduct Voice Overs– Develop Scripts

• Include Additional Capabilities– PBN, ATOP, etc.

• Expand Infrastructure Information on Canvas– Facilities and Networks


15

Storyboard Benefits• Verification & Validation

– Concepts, Design, Programs, Capabilities– Enterprise Architecture, NAS Requirements Document

• Training– Basic Understanding of the NAS & NextGen – Concepts, Message Flow, Sequence of Events– Develop Community that “Can Tell Our Story”

Understand OUR Architecture

Communicate How NextGen Works!
