(DOD SUA/ASU represents 13.4% of the NAS) (DOD SUA/ASU represents 13.4% of the NAS)

INCREASED CIVIL PRESSURE FOR SUA ACCESS

• NAS ARCHITECTURE & MANAGEMENT INSUFFICIENT FOR PROJECTED GROWTH– CAPACITY

– EFFICIENCY

– SAFETY

• SUA - 13.4% OF NAS (DOWN FROM 20% IN 1987)

• EMERGING COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENTS

• FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING OPTIONS LIMITED– TIMELINESS OF NOTIFICATION OF AVAILABILITY

– CALL BACK OPTION

• CIVIL PERCEPTIONS

Which aircraft

requires

the most airspace?

POTENTIAL INCREASED SHORTAGE OF SUITABLE SUA

• EMERGING WPNS SYSTEM REQTS

• EMERGING WARFIGHTING REQTS

• PROXIMITY OF FORCES TO SUA– NON-LOCAL UNIT INCREASED

DEMANDS DUE TO BRAC– OPS/DEPTEMPO COSTS TO NON-LOCAL

SUA– TRANSIT TIME TO LOCAL SUA

INITIATIVES

• FALCON VIEW/SENTRY

• SC-192 WG-2 FIELD TRIALS– ERAU/FACSFAC JAX/JAX ARTCC

• Falcon View Video– A vehicle for demonstrating the adaptive

airspace management concept

WG-2 FIELD TRIAL

• Conducted Between FACSFAC JAX, JAX ARTCC & ERAU

• Notification Procedural changes– Direct and daily updates provided to selected

users

• SUA clearance procedures

• Participant equipage requirements– Direct pilot to controller communications– Discreet Squawk
