Program Concept

SWIM will:

• Implement a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) in the NAS

• Lower information costs

• Increase speed to establish new interfaces

• Increase common situational awareness

• Increase NAS agility

SWIM is an IT infrastructure program that will operate in the background to provide data to authorized users

Today

State of the System

- Existing point-to-point hardwired NAS- Unique interfaces, custom designs

- More point-to-point unique interfaces- Costly development, test, maintenance, CM- New decisions linked to old data constructs- Cumbersome data access outside the NAS

SWIM Concept

Migrate the National Airspace System (NAS) to a service oriented architecture

Facilitate ease of establishing interfaces between computing and information systems

Get the “right information to the right place at the right time”: Net Centricity

Facilitate Shared Situational Awareness

Facilitate Collaborative Decision Making

Establish governance over information management
