Surface Movement Radar Model 4 (SMR4)

Section J, Attachment J-06

SECTION 1: SCOPE/BACKGROUND

The ASDE-3 SMR Replacement program is replacing aging ASDE-3 SMRs (SMR3) in the National Airspace System (NAS), and upon Joint Resource Council (JRC) approval at Final Investment Decision (FID), will execute the acquisition plans. The SMR3 used at Airport Surface Detection Equipment - Model X (ASDE-X) and Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC) airports are beyond the manufacturer’s end-of-life expectancy and have obsolescence and supportability issues.

At an additional seventeen (17) ASDE-X airports, there are two (2) Surface Movement Radar- Raytheon (SMRr) and seventeen (17) Surface Movement Radar-Improved (SMRi) systems; two

(2) airports have a dual configuration SMRi. The planned completion date for replacing the two

(2) SMRr systems with SMRi systems is 2025. The Surface Surveillance Portfolio Board approved a Service Life Expectancy Program (SLEP) to replace the SMRr with the SMRi transceivers on December 17, 2019. A 2018 Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) study indicated that the SMRi Transceiver Assembly/Cabinet could be sustained until 2035 after SLEP completion. The SMR3 Replacement program includes an option to replace the SMRi systems.

The activities required to plan and implement Surface Movement Radar, Model 4 (SMR4) include the following:

• Program Management

• Quality Assurance

• Configuration Management

• Environmental and Occupational

Safety and Health (EOSH)

• System Design

• Systems Engineering

• Service and Support

• Integrated Logistics Support

• Development of Technical Data

• Test and Evaluation

• Training

• System Production

• Site Implementation

• Transfer and Data Rights

There are fifty-three (53) SMRs in the NAS. Thirty-four (34) are SMR3 and nineteen (19) are SMRi. The plan is to replace the existing fifty-three (53) beyond end-of-life expectancy SMRs with a new SMR solution.

• Thirty-four (34) SMR3 systems across eighteen (18) ASDE-X airports, nine (9) ASSC airports, and three (3) support facilities. Four (4) ASDE-X airports have a dual SMR3 configuration.

• Nineteen (19) SMRi systems are located at seventeen (17) ASDE-X airports. Two airports have a dual SMRi configuration.

The Program Office (PO) will use an SMR4 vendor to perform implementation activities that will be monitored by the PO and Engineering Services (ES).

The scope includes vendor modifications to the form, fit, or function of a Commercial Off-The- Shelf (COTS) SMR to meet interface and other FAA requirements. The contract will include a base period and two option periods to perform the work:

• Base Period:

o Acquire and install seven (7) First Article SMRs o Development for interfaces, maintainability, and performance o System testing o Development of training o Logistics and depot support

• Option Period 1: acquire and install a minimum of four (4) and a maximum 27 Production SMR Systems

• Option Period 2: acquire and install a minimum of four (4) and a maximum 19 Production SMR Systems

Key milestones are the Base Period Completion, Option Period 1 Completion, and Option Period 2 Completion.

SECTION 7: SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SMS)

REQUIREMENTS

The ADSE-3 SMR Replacement project conducted a Safety Risk Management Panel on March 10, 2021. The panel was comprised of stakeholders representing AJW, National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), Professional Aviation Safety Specialist (PASS), and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in air traffic operations, technical operations, and safety. The acting Director of FAA Safety and Technical Training (AJI) 3 approved the Safety Risk Management Document (SRMD) on September 27, 2022. A copy of the signed SRMD is available on the Surface Surveillance Portfolio Knowledge Services Network (KSN) site.

The SRM panel identified one new hazard associated with the project. The panel determined ice buildup to be a persistent cause of the SMR being removed from service at certain locations, which is a critical fault for the entire ASDE system (refers to complete ASDE-X or ASSC), resulting in a loss of surveillance. The hazard is rated with a likelihood of D, Extremely Remote (0 events /40,000,000 operations), and a hazard risk of 2D, Medium. The hazard is mitigated by a safety requirement to include an antenna heater for locations prone to icing.

SECTION 8: IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

The vendor will provide sizes and system integration requirements for SMR4 prior to the completion of On-Site Development Test (OSDT) and key site implementation. The vendor will perform a site survey and design for each site and deliver a SER that details required site preparation. The SER will address environmental and EOSH requirements. The vendor will develop a Construction Drawing Package for each site based on the existing facility.

8.1. Physical Space and Integration

Existing infrastructure, including commercial power requirements, grounding, bonding and lightning protection systems, and Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) requirements, must be considered for the new equipment. Site surveys will identify the specific local requirements.

8.2. Implementation Coordination - Communications

The PO and ES will coordinate with local site personnel. Site personnel include AT and Technical Operations Managers and Airway Transportation System Specialists (ATSS) that are responsible for supporting surveillance facilities. In addition, coordination will take place with the site’s NATCA and PASS representatives.

SECTION 9: RISK MANAGEMENT

The ASDE-3 SMR Replacement program risk, issue, and opportunity process are established in accordance with the PO Risk, Issue, and Opportunity (RIO) Management Plan (PO-PLN-0002, Revision 1, dated June 15, 2014) and Attachment J-11 - Surface Surveillance Program Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) RIO Management Plan, Version 2, dated February 1, 2024. The objective is to identify RIOs and manage them effectively to support the overall success of the project. The RIO Manager is responsible for implementing this process. The Surface Surveillance Portfolio RIO Management SOP will be used for the PRP.

There is a single RIO Board that supports all projects in the Surface Surveillance Portfolio. It is referred to as the Surface Surveillance RIO Board. This board is conducted the 2nd Thursday of each month. The Surface Surveillance RIO Board Chair is currently the Surface Surveillance Project Management and Acquisition Lead. All FAA stakeholders involved in the SMR3 Replacement Program are encouraged to attend the RIO Board. The primary stakeholder organizations include:

• PO

• ES

• FAA Second Level Engineering

• FAA Logistics Center

• AT

The SMR3 Replacement Program team implements a robust RIO Management Process. The RIOs identified during this process are stored on the Surface Surveillance Portfolio KSN site.
