Leidos proudly supports NextGen with its En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM), Advanced Technologies and Oceanic Procedures (ATOP), and Time Based Flow Management (TBFM) programs. Design and development is underway with its newest system, Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM). Leidos offers the following capabilities: • Surveillance Using Radar and ADS-B • Flight Data Processing • Conflict Detection and Resolution • Performance Based Navigation • Trajectory-Based Operations • Flight Tracking • UAS Traffic Management • Time-based Metering • Traffic Flow Management • Arrival/Departure Management Solutions • Interval Management • Airspace Flexibility • Weather Data Integration • Information Sharing • Cockpit Communication • Adverse Condition Alerting Service • VFR/IFR Flight Plan Filing • Flight Plan Easy Activate/Easy Close • NextGen/Delta/Abbreviated/Specialist • Weather Briefings • Inflight Pilot Reports (PIREP) Submission • Application & Satellite Communication • Web Services • Open, Standards-Based Software • Highly Secure System Architecture • Training • Big Data for ATM • Network Security • Cloud Computing Leidos believes some of the best opportunities to improve air traffic efficiency reside on the ground. TFDM takes advantage of those opportunities. It operates through four core functions: electronic flight data distribution, traffic flow management, collaborative decision-making on the airport surface, and systems consolidation. TFDM will modernize control tower equipment and processes, streamline the sequence of aircraft scheduled to depart, reduce delays, improve situational awareness, and improve the experience for passengers. The Integrated Departure Arrival Capability (IDAC) in TBFM automates the process of monitoring departure demand and identifying departure slots. IDAC coordinates the departure times between airports and provides situational awareness to air traffic control towers so they can select from available departure times and plan their operations to meet those times. CFS provides Leidos with a unique opportunity to connect with the air traffic controller user community. This exchange helps them understand how their systems are being used and how the most critical needs can be developed in the future. This connection with the user is hard to achieve at other conferences. Leidos continues to benefit from its relationship with NATCA, other National Airspace System stakeholders and, most importantly, with air traffic control professionals. This year, Leidos is looking forward to introducing its new organization, brand, and renewed commitment to the ATC mission. The Leidos CFS booth this week includes a look at the early capability of TFDM with a simulated view from an air traffic control tower. Leidos representatives will also demonstrate the solution for Integrated Departure Arrival Capability (IDAC) as currently deployed in TBFM.
