context driven delivery of aeronautical information
DESCRIPTION
Presentation at Air Transportation Information Exchange Conference Today, mission planners and pilots must access and process an overwhelming volume of information (e.g. NOTAMs, special activity airspace data, airport data and weather), of which only a small portion of that information is relevant to the mission. In this presentation, we will demonstrate a Semantic Decision Support Tool (SDST) that pulls together information from disparate sources and delivers context-specific information to an end user (e.g. a pilot or an air traffic controller) based on, among other things, flight mission, phase of flight, and type of aircraft.TRANSCRIPT

Scenario
• C-17 departs from Travis AFB to Ft Hood to pick up cargo and personnel• Aircraft will continue on to Dover AFB to offload cargo
Atlas 747 is en route to Dover AFB to pick up cargo delivered by the C 17• Atlas 747 is en-route to Dover AFB to pick up cargo delivered by the C-17• Next destination is Miami International airport where cargo is delivered

Operational Benefits• Deliver context-sensitive information
– To the right people At the right time– At the right time
• Reduce number of systems required for preflight preparation • Improve arrival preparation and efficiency byImprove arrival preparation and efficiency by
– Dynamically supporting optimized approach and landing – Based on weather data and relevant NOTAMs
I f t f fli ht b• Increase safety of flight by – Reducing errors– Reducing time pilots need to spend g p p
• Reviewing documents• Analyzing and integrating the information• Making decisions manually
