ENTERPRISE-INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM (E-IDS) Amanda Hodge (ZOA) is the Article 114 Representative for Enterprise-Information Display System (E-IDS) work. Ms. Hodge's report for the membership is below. Background: The Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS) 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.). The project is working towards finalizing requirements by the summer of next year, with a contract scheduled to be awarded in 2019. Due to holiday leave and moratoriums, there are few updates to report on the project. The scoping document governing the future use of Cadre and SMEs is at HQ for final review. After that is finalized, we can move forward on future E-IDS SME and Human Factors work. Upcoming activities: Tower and TRACON demo work with SMEs (ongoing) En Route focus group and demo work with SMEs (ongoing) Human Factors workgroups NATCA, FAA, and PASS FLIGHT DATA INPUT OUTPUT (FDIO) Corey Soignet (LFT) is the FDIO Article 114 Representative.
