System Wide Information Management May Save The Aviation Industry!
In revamping the aviation industry to revolutionize air travel, many new products and technologies are being developed. One of the Federal Aviation Administration’s highest priorities is to replace outdated systems that have been in place since the 1950s. To that end, the FAA has developed products like the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast and it is working on revolutionizing the communications systems between air traffic controllers and support workers at airplane terminals. Another product integral to the NextGen program for changing the airline industry is the System Wide Information Management system.
The System Wide Information Management system is a new software system for the airline industry. Created as a new, uniform operating system, SWIM is responsible for correlating data in the new vision of the aviation industry. SWIM has essentially created a National Airspace System intranet and it is one of the NextGen programs that is already up and running.
The aviation industry employs a ridiculous number of computer systems to gather and correlate data. In addition to plane movements, weather patterns and atmospheric conditions, the FAA receives data from the military, the government and small civilian airports. Many of those organizations have their own intranets and when they provide data to the FAA, it is not in a form that is easily usable by the FAA. For the past fifty years, there have been many jobs in the military and civilian sectors manually re-entering data from those disparate sources for the FAA. Remedying the problems that come from trying to mediate between all of the systems aviation computers is why the FAA developed SWIM.
SWIM eliminates the need for manually re-entering data into an FAA-based program. The innovative System Wide Information Management software collects data from the National Airspace System affiliates and correlates it into a standardized database. SWIM provides a new, uniform interface, which will make jobs in the aviation industry much more portable. With SWIM fully realized, a technician working for the Air Force would not need to retrain on a new system when they re-entered the civilian work force!
The System Wide Information Management system stands to make the aviation industry much safer by providing all of the information collected by members of the National Airspace System and presenting the data to all members in a universal interface. SWIM will make flying easier and safer and software that can do that is undeniably cool!
