Background
 1987 & 1988 - US General Accounting Office studies
criticized the Military (DoD) and FAA for:
 Inefficient use of existing Special Use Airspace
 Lack of utilization data
 1989 - DoD commits to develop a DoD-wide airspace
scheduling system; FAA commits to develop a system
• 1995 - Joint-Government Industry Task Force Report
– Recommendations made on Special Use Airspace (SUA)
• Establish coordination among the Military, FAA, and Users to
improve civil use of SUA when not used by the military
• Conduct operational trials to test concepts for improved civil use;
examine benefits, operational issues, and requirements

Background (continued)
 Develop and implement a real-time SUA notification system
between the Military and FAA, and between FAA and Users
 Form a Technical Working Group to examine SUA issues
• 1996 - SUA Technical Working Group met in August
– Military, FAA, Airspace Users, Controllers Unions, Contract
Personnel
– Technical Working Group met at Edwards AFB, California to
observe air traffic management at Restricted Area R-2508
• Operational trial conducted in R-2508
• 1998 - Joint Government-Industry Working Group
formed
– Military, FAA, Airspace Users, MITRE/CAASD, and Contract
Personnel

Background (concluded)
 Made recommendations on Special Use Airspace (SUA) in the
Redesign of the National Airspace System in document (RTCA
Paper No. 192-00/SC192-031)
 Examine & promote near-term initiatives for improving civil use
of SUA when not in use by the military

Need for Civil-Military Collaboration
• Increases in civil traffic
• Richness of the airspace
• Changes in military requirements
– Smaller force, but smarter and longer-range weapons and
weapons systems actually increases need for airspace
• Shorter times but larger areas
• Combined mission profiles = increasingly complicated training
demands and infrastructure
– Increased domestic training resulting from reduced foreign
presence
– Composite force training = more shared use

The Internet
• The Air Force’s Special Use Airspace Information
System (SUAIS) in Alaska uses the Internet
• The FAA’s Special Use Airspace Management System
(SAMS) and the Military Airspace Management
System (MAMS) also use the Internet

SUAIS Internet System: Information & Media
• Web page
– General information
– Cope Thunder exercise
schedules (event, date, time,
level of activity)
– Airspace/MOA maps
• Radio
– Detailed schedule information
– Real-time traffic advisories
• Telephone
– Detailed schedule information

Summary
• Several actions are ongoing in the US to increase
collaboration between military and civil airspace users
• Many initiatives have started with small steps. . . the
important thing, however, is that they were started!
– Some involve simple procedural changes
– Some involve simple automated scheduling solutions
• Changes associated with more efficient use of special
use airspace appear to work best when joint civilmilitary work groups tackle the issues
