Improved oceanic ATM services and systems provide an opportunity to successfully integrate oceanic automation platforms with evolving domestic systems. FOTO35 will collaborate with other FAA offices and organizations to adequately identify future requirements necessary to improve the future of oceanic ATM automation systems and services.

New oceanic ATM automation services could result in:

• Operational efficiencies by enabling DETEOps and on-demand tactical operations.
• Reduced system complexity and controller workload.
• Increased safety with outage detections and improved conflict resolution capabilities; greater access to system data; and better overall system management and customer service.
  • The integration of improved communications, data exchange and data processing technologies will enable greater shared situational awareness by all parties involved with the operation of the oceanic flight.
• Improved automation to support enhanced aircraft avionics capabilities in oceanic regions, potentially allowing flight crew access to more extensive information concerning weather, airspace status or constraints, and traffic that could impact their desired trajectory.
  • This will result in improved situational awareness beyond the primarily tactical view held today, allowing the flight crew to collaborate with their support personnel as necessary and then negotiate needed trajectory adjustments with ATC for improved efficiency in aircraft operation.
