5FLIGHT OBJECT MANAGER | PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Common Gate-to-Gate Flight View

Consolidation of data to create a unified and authoritative Flight Object view

improves decision making by ensuring ATM stakeholders get a common and

best-in-class flight view.

Avoid ATM system constraints through contextualizing flights with relevant information, for example NOTAMs.

Provision of commonly understood, quality information delivered to the right

stakeholders at the right time via standardized interfaces means no costly

integration with custom interfaces.

The modular design of the FOM means it is adaptable to the operational

environment and is scalable to meet specific user needs.

Enhance Situational Awareness

Interoperability & Harmonization Modular Functionality

With a vision for achieving an innovative, safe, secure and sustainable civil aviation system, GCAA turned to Snowflake Software.

Snowflake Software’s FOM has placed the GCAA in the global arena of seamless ATM and at the forefront of implementing SWIM services across the UAE.

The FOM provides centralised flight information management for sharing consolidated and authoritative flight information across the UAE FIR and its neighbours. This has empowered effective decision making by the GCAA and their airline and airport stakeholders through the provision of high-quality flight information in real-time through open interfaces.


16SWIM OPERATIONAL | ASEAN SWIM TRIAL



● ICAO led initiative● A trial of SWIM across a large number of nations in Asia-Pacific (not restricted to

ASEAN, includes e.g. FAA)● No single regional curator exists e.g. FAA, EUROCONTROL● Trialling sharing of data between nations for some key scenarios

○ AFTM Ground Delay Program (GDP): Bangkok to Hong Kong and Singapore to Hong Kong.

○ Tactical Rerouting due to significant weather: (Hong Kong to Tokyo)● Completed final trial demonstrations in November 2019


● Breaking SWIM out of safety critical systems○ Faster to change○ Single source of truth○ Cheaper to deliver

● Need for Request/Response + Publish Subscribe○ Current state + event-driven updates

● GUFI Management○ Goal is FF-ICE GUFI concept○ Proprietary systems have proprietary identifiers○ First identifier allocated is not a sufficiently complete strategy

● Non-standard GEMS headers in ASEAN Trial address a need outside of XML spec

SWIM | CHALLENGES + LEARNINGS 19


● Ease of use of SWIM Standards○ JSON vs. XML - growing preference for e.g. GeoJSON○ Extensions e.g. APAC extension for FIXM, forward reference extension for AIXM

● Pace of standards development● Sharing design drivers for standardisation

○ How is the modelling driven by the operational goals?● Implementation of SWIM does not guarantee exchange interfaces are compatible

○ For example: Different YP Service Interface Bindings○ No guarantee the implementation is compatible○ AMQP is a good bet on compatibility, as there is little choice on the spec - but

security can still differ● Future thinking: U-SWIM for UTM
