ENTERPRISE-INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM (E-IDS) Amanda Richardson (ZOA) is the Article 114 Representative for E-IDS. Her report is below: Background: The Enterprise Information Display System project aims to replace all existing IDSs in the NAS, providing the Agency with one enterprise solution across facility types. While some customization is necessary and should be available, one system will reduce overall costs for upkeep and training and resolve the upcoming end-of-life issues we have with our current IDSs in the field (IDS-4, ERIDS, etc.). Current domains without an IDS will also be addressed (Oceanic, FSS, etc.) The project is working towards finalizing requirements by the end of this year, with a contract scheduled to be awarded in 2020. The Human Factors and Integrated Test Team work successfully began on Oct. 18. The tower, TRACON, and en route reps are all fully engaged and contributing valuable information to the team. This work is scheduled to continue until late next year. The work will be reevaluated and adjusted prior to the end of the scheduled activities. I attended Communicating For Safety in October and participated in the Article 114 Meeting prior to the conference. I also had some preliminary discussions with multiple NATCA members on their areas of expertise with the current IDSs in the field, and ways in which we might be able to best utilize their knowledge. This will be an ongoing effort. Upcoming activities: • Quarterly trip to Washington, D.C., to attend meetings in person (week of Nov. 26) • SRM Workgroup meetings, continued (dates in D.C. TBD) • Weekly/bi-weekly program status and engineering telcons (ongoing) • Human Factors and Test Workgroup (ongoing) • Training telcons (ongoing) • Bi-weekly Risk Board Telcons (ongoing) • Weekly check-in with Program Manager (ongoing) • Weekly Systems Engineering Telcons (ongoing) • Data Administrator Concept of Operations continued discussions HUMAN PERFORMANCE Aaron Katz (P50) is the Article 114 Representative for Human Performance.
