SWIM for Dummies
SWIM is:
SWIM is Not:
• NAS-wide information distribution
and access mechanism for current
and new applications
• A big system in a new facility
• Built on top of FTI for network
connectivity and security
• 50% COTS, 30% custom software &
20% hardware providing services
such as security, messaging,
registry
• Non-proprietary, flexible, extensible,
scalable solution to cost effectively
meet current and future information
requirements
SWIM_weather
051705.ppt
• A giant database
• A substitute for NAS
modernization programs
• A set of applications
• An FTI replacement
SWIM implements a modern,
system-wide approach to
information management necessary
to support improved operations and
productivity in the NAS

Accessing Weather Products
(Example: TDWR)
The old way (pre-SWIM)…
1.
Buy a T1 line for each TDWR you
need and physically connect it at each
TDWR shelter
Develop custom ingest software
that…
2.
–
–
–
Meets security requirements
Manages QoS guarantees for
application
Translates custom data format (based
on TDWR ICD)
The new way (post-SWIM)…
1.
Leverage FTI via single SWIM gateway
connection; receive compressed TDWR
streams from all TDWRs of interest
Develop ingest software using COTS tools
that…
2.
–
–
Get system-wide security and QoS services
from SWIM
Provide standard access methods to TDWR
data
1. Step 1 savings apply to any data source migrated from a custom
distribution network to SWIM (e.g., CIWS, ASR-9 weather, etc.)
2. Step 2 savings apply to any systems using SWIM to access data

Potential SWIM Benefits to CIWS
• Distribution of CIWS output products on SWIM
eliminates the need for CIWS product users to connect
to private CIWS frame relay
• Inclusion of ASR-9 weather outputs on SWIM eliminates
the need for direct connection to ASR-9 for CIWS inputs,
further reducing the need for private CIWS frame relay
• Inclusion of compressed TDWR on SWIM makes TDWR
available as CIWS input without direct T1 connections to
individual radars
• SWIM security, bandwidth management services and
COTS infrastructure reduce CIWS development and
maintenance costs

RAPT
• Funded by PA NY/NJ.
Used operationally since
August 2002 . Uses CIWS
convective weather forecast
and echo tops
• Objective is to improve
the ability to get departures
out of terminals during
SWAP
•Supports achieving ATO
metric for % of flights with
taxi-out time < 40 minutes

grids, contours, images, time series, point measurements
• Data transmission formats
• Publish subscribe mechanism: product definition,
metadata format, multicast, etc.

Summary
• SWIM provides infrastructure and services critical to the
distribution of aviation weather products, including
security, bandwidth management and data discovery
• SWIM introduces potential cost savings in several areas:
elimination of redundant communications infrastructure,
decreased development costs by providing system-wide
services, decreased maintenance cost due to expanded
use of COTS software
• SWIM supports ready enhancement of existing
applications and development of new, integrated weather
and traffic management applications by providing all data
through a single, SWIM network point of presence
