Digital AIM (D-AIM)

• AIM Requirements
• Deliver timely and filtered quality information
  into user contexts
• Move towards a state of information exchange and
  sharing
• EC 552/2004 interoperability regulation
• D-AIM high level principles
• Investigate new digital services in addition to
  current AIS output
• System-wide approach
• Separate data transport from data application
• Open and interoperable data sharing
• Focus on geo-spatial increment
• Leverage existing standards
• LFV Sweden EUROCONTROL collaboration

D-AIM featuring (1)

• D-AIM architectural approach based on a Service
  Oriented Architecture
• Loose coupling service dependencies are
  minimized
• Autonomy services have control over the logic
  that they encapsulate
• Abstraction services hide logic from the outside
  world
• Reusability logic is divided into services with
  the intention to promote reuse
• Discoverability services are designed to be
  outwardly descriptive so they can be found and
  assessed via available discovery mechanisms.
• Use of OGC web services specifications
• D-AIM embeds AIM standards into the current
  system to achieve geospatial information sharing
• AIXM, AMXM, WXXM
• OGC-OWS WMS, WFS, WCS, CSW

• Standardised D-AIM services exposed through
  standardised interfaces
• Service chaining
• Upstream generic services feed downstream

D-AIM Benefits

• Geo-enable content provider output to enable
  downstream location based information filtering
  and decision making support
• Increase safety by making information available
  WHEN and WHERE needed
• Increase situational awareness through geospatial
  information
• Database driven common views
• Common timely geospatial intelligence
  (en-route/aerodrome)
• Fusion of multiple information sources
