AIM Modernization Mission

Modernized and improved AI flows through digital collection, management, and distribution tools.

SOA platform where services can be developed using web standards and hosted on a centralized infrastructure for delivery to customers as web services.

System design leveraging SWIM to support a net-centric enterprise architecture.

Delivery of digital NOTAMs, SAA info, and airport/reference data as mission support services through SWIM

AIM Modernization Objectives

• The AIMM program will develop systems and services to address future air traffic requirements

• AIMM Segment 1 (AIMM S1) provides the infrastructure that will host AIMM S2 enhancements and focuses on improvements to the Central Altitude Reservation Function (CARF) and FNS

• AIMM S2 will provide ACS as the single trusted source of AI to include SAA, airport configuration data and continue to expand the distribution of NOTAMs included as part of the FNS

Aeronautical Common Service

• Digital data capture: The development of digital data capture capability is essential to AIM Modernization. This includes the exchange of data with authoritative providers using automated tools and systems.

• Aeronautical Common Service: The ACS becomes the trusted source of AI. It is an extensible SOA platform for delivering mission support services and through use of standards such as AIXM, WXXM, and FFXM becomes a member of the Common Support Service enterprise suite. The ACS will manage AI data capture. It will transform, validate, verify, store, and distribute the resultant AI to users and systems using the following ACS functional capabilities: Business services Data capture Data exchange Data and information management

• External and Legacy System Integration: The ACS will establish functional two-way data exchange with other systems using Service Oriented Architecture principles. AIMM Segment 2 will establish and develop a link provide data to NAS consumer systems and users through the SWIM infrastructure.

• External Web Internet Portal: The ACS will establish an interface for users outside of FAA NAS systems to relay AI via the public Internet. This web portal will become a “One Stop Shop” for external aviation operations personnel to obtain needed AI.
