  1. NextGenTest Bed Capabilities and Future Plans William J. Hughes Technical Center Presented by: Vince Lasewicz Laboratory Services Group Date: 11/05/09

  2. Outline • NextGen Test Bed Purpose • Concept and Big Picture • NextGen Integration & Evaluation Capability (NIEC) • Capability Overview • Projects / Customers • Future Plans /Ideas

  3. NextGen Test Bed Purpose • Not just evaluate concepts and technologies… • Show that NextGen initiatives have “benefits”. • Demonstrate and understand the benefits of operational improvements (OI’s) “early on”. • Identify potential risks“early on”. • Understand integration and interoperability issues. • Fosters Gov’t and Industry partnerships in support of NAS demonstration activities.

  4. NextGen Test Bed Concept • Provide 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

  5. EWR LGA EBT JFK PHL ACY Central Service SDF Area WJHTC Eastern Service Area DFW DAL DAB Daytona IAH HOU MCO TPA PBI FLL MIA NASA NextGen 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 • NextGen Integration & Evaluation Capability (NIEC)

  6. NextGen Integration & Evaluation Capability (NIEC) • Synergism of lab capabilities already at the Tech Center • Rapid prototyping and simulation environment anchored by a new “Display Area” • Fast Time (Modeling) • Real-Time Human-in-the-loop • NextGen technologies, concepts, and equipment can be integrated and evaluated • “Verification” operation & benefits • Prior to “validation” of benefits in real world demonstrations • Good mix of legacy systems and new technologies • Supports “transition” to NextGen
