Abstract
FAA’s recent large Ada based En-Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) program has reintegrated many disparate system components into a modern composite architecture. The program must now deliver on its promise to facilitate the evolution of the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS) by integrating Next Generation Air Traffic Control (ATC) capabilities starting with System Wide Information Management (SWIM), Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS-Broadcast) and the En Route Data Communications (Data Comm). One of the major challenges is to implement and leverage more open, flexible interfaces made possible by web service technologies and to ensure reliability and security of high performance data and communications services despite increased reliance on less trusted commercial products. The paper focuses on maturity, problems and lessons learned during the development of the initial SWIM as a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) extension to the En Route Automation Modernization ERAM System.
