Integrated Air Surveillance Concept of Operations 3.5.6 Flexible sensor infrastructures Operational and employment concepts should consider interagency requirements in the development and acquisition of sensors and infrastructure, which includes scalable and agile systems that provide certain flexibility: Rapid reconfiguration to detect targets that are outside the sensor’s normal use (e.g., using weather radar to detect air vehicle targets) Relocation to provide coverage in gap areas or to back-up installed sensors in a continuity of operations situation. 3.5.7 Agile information-sharing capability Integrated air surveillance operations collect, aggregate, analyze, and disseminate data from surveillance sensors, as well as such information as flight plans, aircraft and crew profiles, risk profiles, and intelligence. Surveillance provides knowledge of current position, track history, and movement rate for vehicles in the Air Domain, while the other aviation-related information provides the context needed to create a comprehensive and shared picture of the NAS. This integrated picture provides robust and thorough aviation system situational awareness to support routine air traffic operations and off-nominal operations involving anomalous or suspicious activity. This integration will also provide the foundation to conduct analyses and interpretations. The information-sharing capability must be agile to accommodate changes in threats, evolution of technology, and expanded mission requirements. It must allow cross-domain access to sensitive, restricted, or classified information, including access by authorized law enforcement and other users. Further, it must be able to mitigate failures among its components and networks (e.g., decreased system performance and degradation of ADS-B). November 2011 30
Integrated Air Surveillance Concept of Operations 4 Desired System Capabilities Section 3 of this document described the desired operational capabilities that support achievement of integrated air surveillance goals and objectives. This section describes the desired system capabilities that support those operational capabilities. The NextGen Information Sharing Environment (ISE) diagram shown in Figure 4 below illustrates an environment where a set of technical architecture, standards, and profiles provides a mechanism to achieve broad-based information sharing across the aviation community. The goal is to use the technical standards and profiles to drive procurements that require common system interfaces within a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). These common interfaces will enable achievement of the NextGen and integrated air surveillance interoperability and information sharing objectives. These technical standards and profiles can be targeted for incorporation into procurements as performance specifications for system acquisitions.
