analysis process on the data after the testing is completed to verify the speech recognition preformed as designed. More information to follow. Airport Construction Advisory Council (ACAC): The ACAC continues to support c onstruction activities throughout the NAS and Internationally. We brief weekly on current projects in the NAS. Automation of Construction Notice Diagrams: Multiple meetings and edits have been conducted for the detailed requirements in which myself, the ACAC, and Runway Safety office were involved in. The project went to an SRM panel. Unfortunately, the demo that was given to myself, the ACAC, and Runway Safety prior to the SRM panel was not the same presented to the panel itself. Work is now being conduc ted to bring the project back up to meet the requirements that were previously laid out once the requirements are met it will return the SRM panel. Another Demo has been scheduled for the week of July 31st, if the demo meets the requirements it will go bac k to the SRM panel. Runway Incursion Prevention Shortfall Analysis (RIPSA) - Research was conducted at 15 airports without any surface surveillance system. A final site selection is yet to be completed. Here is the updated RIPSA timeline, which includes de tailed activities: • FY15: Technology evaluations from market survey responses - completed • FY16: Site assessments at 13 candidate airports – completed • FY17: Program Plan development / Candidate Site(s) & Technology(s) Selection • Re - visiting viable technologi es identified in FY15 assessments. This will lead to a down select of technology(s) that can be procured in the next 12 months. • Engaging with local Regional Runway Safety Area Managers/RIM POC's to ensure potential technology solution(s) complement operati ons and planned construction activities • Conduct detailed Site survey at short listed candidate airports to gauge infrastructure needs for selected technology solution(s) • FY18: IGCE and Technology Solicitation & Procurement • Match technology solution and sit es based on operational needs and available infrastructure • Procure technology solution from vendor • Obtain MOU with Airport at test airport, Conduct SRM Panel for proposed technology solution • FY19: Technology installation at candidate airport(s) • FY20: Opera tional test and evaluation • FY21: AMS Documentation / Technology Transfer ICAO – ADOP (Aerodrome Design and Operations Panel) – My final report was submitted to IFATCA and NATCA on 12/12.
