The System Wide Information Management (SWIM) Program is a National Airspace System (NAS)-wide information system that supports Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) goals. SWIM will enable increased common situational awareness and improved NAS agility to deliver the right information to the right place at the right time. SWIM development is a collaborative effort among varied stakeholders, all of whom are encouraged to follow SWIM progress on this site and review SWIM documentation as it is posted here.

SWIM Weather Demo

This demo shows some early results of the FAA's SWIM initiative. This video animates four hours of ITWS (Integrated Terminal Weather System) data, a severe storm near the New York City area, on Oct. 11, 2007. The data used to produce this video is SWIM (System Wide Information Management - www.swim.gov) compliant. The soundtrack was based on an aural vantage point close to New Rochelle, NY. Note the tornadoes; they (and all of the other weather events), were real.
