FTI ACHIEVES THE VISIONThe FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) network provides critical

voice, data, and video communications for NAS operations and mission support

functions at more than 4,400 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department

of Defense (DoD), and National Weather Service (NWS) facilities nationwide.

This highly available, secure network enables the FAA to achieve its mission for safe and efficient air travel of more than 87,000 aircraft each day.

As a key contributor to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), FTI’s robust architecture is ready to handle the expected needs for increased bandwidth, greater flexibility, and reduced latency.

bENEFITS> Private, nationwide network securely

manages critical NAS services

> Greater than 0.99999 service availability

> High-capacity Optical Backbone with Dual Metropolitan SONET rings connecting most critical FAA facilities

> Resilience and bandwidth to support NextGen telecommunications

> Dedicated Network and Security Operations Centers

> Integrated Business System for quoting, ordering, invoicing, and managing SLAs

FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI)

AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SOLuTIONS

> Extensive layered, adaptive security management– Certified and accredited by FAA– First u.S. civil government network

built and certified to EAL3 criteria– Defense in-depth security

management approaches– Extensive boundary protection

between NAS operations, Mission Support, and external networks

– Security infused into all program operations and tools

– Access to information based on user privileges and authentication

– Security implementation protects the network against intrusion, virus attack, denial of service attack, policy violation, and other threats, without degradation of service performance

– Incident monitoring and management

> Integrated business system– Comprehensive tools for order

fulfillment and invoicing– Incorporates performance-based

service pricing models

NextGen Foundation

> Proactive technology insertion based on understanding of NAS mission and NextGen objectives

> Optical backbone increases bandwidth, reduces latency, and enhances diversity

> Extensible for FAA Business Continuity Planning

> Extensible for NextGen initiatives such as NAS Voice System (NVS), Data Communications, and System Wide Information Management (SWIM)

> Leveraging FTI’s existing platform reduces life-cycle costs for future NextGen initiatives– FTI’s operationally stable network

currently serves the FAA, DoD, FAA service providers, and other FAA-approved Communities of Interest (COIs)

– FTI’s proven telecommunications services, security services, network monitoring and control services, business management services, data reference model, and metrics management can be extended for future voice communications and information service distribution needs

– The FTI team is already established to support ongoing operations, maintenance, engineering, provisioning, and management

> Incremental additions to FTI capabilities reduces transition risk and provides early benefits

> Red Core survivability network further expands the redundancy of the FTI communications infrastructure and enables additional services

FTI EMS 365

Harris delivers WAN services for the FAA’s private cloud, supporting critical administrative tools that include email, file sharing, web, and video conferencing. The secure, private MPLS WAN services, utilizing differentiated services COS/QOS best practices, are scalable up to 2 Gbps total WAN capacity. The architecture deployed at these locations allows for over four 9’s of availability and dynamic failover, ensuring minimal application availability impact due to interruptions of service or scheduled maintenance. The EMS 365 support paves the way as the benchmark into other cloud initiatives as a tested and proven solution for data center and application consolidation efforts.

The Harris FTI Team and the FAA: The Power of Partnership

COMMUNICATIONS FOUNDATION FOR NEXTGENThe Network Platform for Net-Centric NextGen Communications Evolution

With a partnership founded on a creative business model, validated by Harris’ experience and understanding of the FAA and its critical mission, FTI sets the standard for government performance-based service programs. As a full and trusted FAA partner, the Harris team transformed the FAA’s telecommunications network with minimal impact to ongoing air traffic operations. The FTI enterprise network provides secure and efficient transmission of voice, data, and video communications critical to the NAS today. It also establishes the platform for the net-centric NextGen of tomorrow. By leveraging the existing FAA FTI network investment, the FAA is able to accelerate NextGen, minimize service duplication, reduce life-cycle cost, and ultimately achieve the vision of a seamless information infrastructure.

Enterprise Network

> Network solutions for evolving communications needs

> Open, robust architecture—supports evolution of technology—flexible for growth

> Standards-based, state-of-the-art architecture—highly reliable service availability

> Secure, timely communications transport

Performance-Based Services

> Performance-based service constructs, scalable for new technology, evolving mission needs, and extension to FAA partner agencies—enables the FAA to order what they need, when they need it

> Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that guarantee performance levels

> Sophisticated network management and integrated business systems to monitor performance, calculate SLA metrics, and invoice accordingly

> Network management viewing tool (FOSOM) to monitor network performance

> Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) for assessing and rewarding successful program activities

Comprehensive Operations Support Services

> Centralized Primary Network Operations and Control Center/Security Operations and Control Center (PNOCC/PSOCC)—facility, tools, and staff to monitor and maintain FTI on a 24/7 basis for availability and security

> Emergency and backup NOCC/SOCC for catastrophic events

> Nationwide service technicians supporting all FAA facilities within a 3-hour drive time

> Holistic network management– 20,000 distributed network devices,

containing over 108,000 manageable components, monitored and reported to the NOCC via a tier-to-tier hierarchy
