Atlantic Test Ranges Range Display Systems

Abstract The Atlantic Test Range’s Range Display Systems (RDS) team is developing a Ground Based

Detect and Avoid System (GBDAA) for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operations in civil and military airspace. The system will be deployed as a real-time operating system (RTOS) that will enhance situational awareness and will allow for safe transit and combined operation with manned aircraft within a designated operating areas within PAX NAS restricted and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) controlled airspace. Waterlines provides an engineering and architectural solution that meets NAVAIRINST 13034.4 requirements for UAS surveillance.

Integration of Engineering and Architectural proficiency capability through development and implementation will alleviate unpractical methods such as a visual observer or manned chase planes. This will reduce test delays, cancellations, maintenance costs, and funding expenditures associated with the operation of a manned chase plane. We are requesting the approval to purchase the consulting services for development and support from Waterlines to ensure commonality across all UAS’ and Department of Defense (DoD) programs supporting flight testing with consideration of the minimum requirements set forth by NAVAIRINST and FAA.

Atlantic Test Ranges – GUARDIAN Sensor Correlation Engine SDD Vol. IIDescription of

1 BACKGROUND

The primary mission of Guardian is to enable an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to operate concurrently and safely in an airspace containing manned aircraft, without the need of a chase aircraft or visual observer to ensure UAS safety.

Guardian is a multi-sensor-based collision avoidance system that employs Collision Advisory

Volumes (CAV) around ownship aircraft that provide early warning notifications of impending

Near Mid-Air Collisions (NMAC). The system will utilize existing Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) certified Aircraft Surveillance Radars (ASR) to provide one-way real-time tracking and identification of aircraft with a radar cross section of ? 1 square meter. Guardian overlays the sensor tracks and intruder’s future trajectories on the display, giving the Guardian

Operator (GO) and Air Vehicle Operator (AVO) awareness of the presence and position of aircraft operating within the sensor coverage volume.

The Guardian product will span multiple computer chassis (at least two, but up to several) in order to spread the workload, provide for expansion and re-use, isolate components with differing

Design Assurance Level (DAL) safety certification levels, and provide a level of redundancy. Two

DAL levels of safety certification are being targeted: Assurance Level 2 and Assurance Level 5.

The Assurance Level 2 computer chassis and its associated Computer Software Configuration

Items (CSCI) will utilize a VxWorks operating system. The target platform will be a 653-family single-board computer.

The current GUARDIAN engineering development staff, although very senior level, is lacking experience in both engineering and architectural design supporting safety-critical system design and software development. Waterlines has been identified as having on their staff experience in the areas of concern.

2 TASKING

Waterlines will provide analysis of the various disparate system design artifacts and incorporate the design details into the Guardian system design model for unified visualization and reporting purposes. During the course of the review and analysis Waterlines will also provide suggested updates to the base documents. This will include a draft and a final document of Sensor Correlation

Engine SDD Vol 2.

Waterlines will provide two (2) engineering and design model updates that will include corresponding data base updates. These updates will be documented within the Enterprise

Architect EA tool. As part of this task Waterlines will train Guardian team members on the use of the (EA) tool in real-time as identified updates are made by Waterlines.

Two requirements change decisions derived from the Configuration Control Board (CCB) will be provided to Waterlines. Waterlines will load the changes into the design model.

Waterlines will provide support to the Guardian Independent Verification and Validation effort by providing support to the development, management and documentation of tests and test results.

The deliverable will be a report showing test management linking based on test details and guidance provided by Waterlines.

Waterlines will provide Requirement Database Link Updates to all CSCI modules (9 total) which are Sensor Correlation Engine, Track Aggregation Engine, Health and Status Monitor, Configuration Editor, Encounter Analysis Engine, Guardian Archiver, Guardian Display, Guardian Support Display, Guardian Support Network Interface. The base documents to be reviewed and updated will be provided to Waterlines by the Government.

Waterlines will create design diagrams for project reporting and other program use. Diagrams will include sensor correlation engine, engineering and design model updates, test procedure model requirements linkages, and links from the Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA) to Computer

Software Components (CSC”s). Details of this support will be provided in a report describing the tasks completed.

The contractor shall provide software development support for the above mentioned areas of concern. Support will include both in person, phone and email correspondence.
