  1. Data CommunicationsProgram Final Investment Decision (FID) – Update on May 30, 2012 Presented to: SC-214/WG-78 Plenary #15 By: Gregg Anderson, FAA DC Program, Operations & Integration Team Lead Date: June 7, 2012

  2. Purpose • Respond to the action item from the JRC Meeting on May 16, 2012 • Program received the action to update the analysis for Data Comm Tower 57 site selection to include costs • Decision Requested • Final Investment Decision to implement Departure Clearance (DCL) service to accommodate FANS aircraft (S1P1) • Award the Data Comm Integrated Services (DCIS) contract • Award the ERAM contract modification supporting DCL service • Approve initial 35 sites with positive NPV + 6 sites due to other considerations equaling 41 total • Conditionally approve remaining sites with the program returning to the JRC in FY13 to provide updated cost and operational data • Endorse moving forward with development of En Route services (S1P2)

  3. Changes Since Previous Analysis • The 57 site analysis presented previously was based on the following considerations: • Airport operations • Departure Clearance Revisions data • Weather impact • Positive benefits in minutes • Current analysis refines the previous selection by: • Monetizing benefits by site • Incorporating costs per site • Calculating per site Return on Investment (ROI) metrics • Incorporating User/Operational considerations identified by Data Comm Implementation Team (DCIT) and RTCA Task Force 5 • Results in 41 sites • 35 with positive ROI • Six (6) based on User/Operational considerations

  4. Cost Analysis Inputs • Both Non-Recurring and Recurring FAA costs per site • Costs are from FY15-42 • Non-Recurring costs include implementation, FTI and Data Comm Network Service (DCNS) establishment • ~$200K average per site (one time, non-recurring) • Recurring Costs include FTI and DCNS service costs • ~$160K average per site per year • Not Included in this Analysis • User Costs • FAA Fixed costs FY12-15 are not included in individual site calculations • Other Recurring costs (e.g. software maintenance, Program Office)

  5. Business Case Impacts • Potential savings: • Reducing the number of sites from 57 to 41, equals a potential savings of: • Non-Recurring (F&E) ~$3.2M total • Recurring (Ops) ~ $2.6M per year (16 sites) over 24 years (FY19-42) or ~$62M total

  7. Program to return to JRC in FY13 • Status award of DCNS contract modification • Revisit site selection analysis based on contract costs and updated operational data • Status automation enhancements for DCL service • Status Tower trials progress • Work with NextGen Capture Team and develop plan for En Route services

  8. Decision Approved • Final Investment Decision to implement Departure Clearance (DCL) service to accommodate FANS aircraft (S1P1) • Award the Data Comm Integrated Services (DCIS) contract • Award the ERAM contract modification supporting DCL service • Approve initial 35 sites with positive NPV + 6 add’l sites based on other considerations equaling 41 total • Conditionally approve the remaining sites with the program returning to the JRC in FY13 to provide updated cost and operational data • Endorse moving forward with development of En Route services (S1P2)
