Paradigm Changes Related to TSAS: Viewed Through the Perspective of the FAA/NASA Operational Integration Assessment

摘要

NASA and the FAA partnered to conduct a successful integrated operational assessment, the OIA, of TSAS with other NextGen technologies that are at different deployment stages. NATCA controllers and TMCs participated in the OIA at the FAA's Tech Center. This paper described three paradigm shifts that are expected to maximize the benefits of TSAS when it becomes operational, and discussed some of the observations and feedback of each in the context of the OIA. Examination of these three paradigm shifts had not been performed until the OIA, making the OIA an invaluable activity to identify key risks when transitioning TSAS from the laboratory to the NAS. OIA, expecting to improve the process of future NASA to FAA technology transfers. Early involvement of the TBFM operations team is expected to be a lesson learned.
