I have comprehensive understanding of Air Traffic Management nurtured through working with teams of practising ATC Controllers and within Operational Rooms at some of Europes most advanced Air Traffic Control Centres, including one of Europes first and foremost strip less Ops Room at Eurocontrol Maastricht (MASUAC). Some of my more recent work has included development of Concepts of Operations, Methods of Operation, Operational requirements and HMI requirements (detailed specifications) for advanced ATM tools such as Arrival Manager (AMAN), Departure Manager (DMAN), approach Traffic Sequencing Planner (TSP), Trajectory Prediction (TP), Medium Term Conflict Detection (MTCD), and Flight Plan Monitoring (FPM).

DETAILED WORK EXPERIENCE August 2008 Present. National Air Traffic Services (NATS) Senior ATC Specialist Responsible for supporting the development of the NERL Roadmap and to facilitate alignment of Pan European initiatives, specifically SESAR into the Roadmap. The NERL Roadmap is an optimised sequence of investments underpinned by a number of models; a business model, an architectural model, a cost benefit model, and a deliverability model and is updated on a regular basis to take into account operational delivery, safety, economic, environmental and international initiatives. Regular Roadmap updates ensure NATS adapts to emerging circumstances and developments without losing sight of its critical end goal which is to facilitate new tools, new systems, new furniture and a common set of Methods of Operation and Procedures across all Control Centres. The Roadmap development and updates are accomplished through collaboration with the Operational Strategy & Investment group(OS&I), the Technical Strategy Group (TSG) and various Operational and Technical Experts within the organisation to intensively explore, debate and evaluate possible trade-offs for a given business scenario. The consequential investment profiles are aligned to NERLs critical strategies such as: - Two Centre / One System strategy - Future Systems Strategy - Deployment Strategy (delivery of discrete groupings of benefits) Phase 1 Adding capability to existing infrastructure Phase 2 Implementation of new infrastructure (enhanced capability) Long term development of common advanced Operations In addition to the Roadmap development I am also responsible for: ensuring that the NATS Future Centres User Interface (FCUI) demonstrator is updated and kept in line with Roadmap updates, participating and supporting Studies of solutions into technical and other challenges (for example the formulation of the technical strategy for the common workstation) and alignment of the Roadmap with Pan European events specifically related to SESAR. Apr 2006 August 2008. National Air Traffic Services (NATS) Senior ATC Specialist Responsible for Feasibility & Options (F&O) phase of the initial iTEC sub-programme that will introduce an advanced Flight Data Processor into UK ATC service operations. Upon completion of this work I joined the ATC team within Operational Strategy & Investment (OS&I) as a Senior ATC Specialist (ATCO 2). My Responsibilities include development of: - iTEC FDP User/Customer Requirements - ATC MOps for iTEC, Prestwick and Manchester - User/Customer representation for MSP (Multi-Sector Planning) R&D - Prestwick Centre Operational Validation Strategy Nov 2003 Dec 2005. Eurocontrol Maastricht ATC Operational Expert I was awarded a two-year contract to work as an Operational Expert and a full time member of the System Monitoring And Revision Team (SMART) which consisted of practicing Air Traffic Controllers (working part-time within SMART) and myself to establish a bridge between the Operations Room, the Operational Airspace and Systems Implementation Section (OASIS) and the Engineering Division. The main objectives of the SMART team were to evaluate and define operational concepts, operational requirements, and HMI requirements (detailed specifications) for the N-FDPS project. The N-FDPS project shall provide a solution to the obsolescence of the current Maastricht FDP system by providing existing FDP functionality including Datalink to support the current method of operation in 2007 (N-FDPS O Date) in addition to supporting specific functionality required to cope with traffic growth. The N-FDPS will also introduce new concepts and new tools such as Trajectory Prediction (TP), Flight Plan Monitoring (FPM), Medium Term Conflict Detection (MTCD) and What-IF into the Maastricht Operations Rm. The formation of the SMART group coincided with the start of shadow mode MTCD trials conducted at Maastricht UAC. The objectives of the MTCD Trials at MASUAC were: Allow the controllers to gain familiarisation with the MTCD concept, Collect data on the use of MTCD in a live traffic environment Define controller roles, tasks and working methods within the Maastricht Ops Room environment. Participation of the SMART Group with the MTCD trials enabled the group to evaluate and refine operational concepts and requirements for Trajectory Prediction, Flight Plan Monitoring, MTCD and define detailed HMI specifications to upgrade the Controller HMI for the N-FDPS project. A major task that was accomplished very successfully for the N-FDPS project was to re-assess and build on the achievements of the current HMI for the Controller Work Positions (CWP), predominantly to facilitate additional functionality introduced as a result of new concepts and tools by the N-FDPS. This in particular entailed re-assessment and re-definition of operational concepts and requirements for HMI items such as Label, Flight Information Message (FIM), Planner Control Message (PCM), and Executive Control Message (ECM). It also entailed definition of operational requirements detailed specifications for the introduction of new HMI items and windows for advanced ATM concepts and tools such as MTCD, TP, FPM and WHAT-IF (Vertical Aid Window, Potential Problem Display, Aircraft Oriented Flight Leg, Problem Oriented Flight Leg and Graphical Trajectory Editor). Oct 2001 Oct 2003. Belgocontrol ATC Systems Engineer Responsible for working with ATC Controllers from Operations Room to develop Operational Requirements and Operational Concepts for the Belgocontrol ATC systems in order to extend system capacity and replace Controller Working Positions. Belgocontrols existing ATC system architecture was monolithic and based on highly proprietary solutions. The ultimate goal was to migrate to an open architecture, which would in turn serve as a foundation for the evolution of the ATM system at Belgocontrol in support of the Eurocontrol ATM Strategy for 2000+. To this end the Upgrade Programme was established and consisted of several upgrade steps. I was initially responsible for specifying Safety Net (STCA, MSAW, Altitude tracking, Area Proximity Warning and Duplicate SSR code Warning, Aircraft Position Reporting, & Route Adherence Monitoring) functionality. Upon completion of this activity I was responsible for the production of the Concept of Operation and a Call for Tender for replacement of current Situation Data Displays (SDD) with new 2K x 2K LCD Controller Working Positions (CWP), which would allow use of advanced display techniques in the new Operations Room. This involved production of high quality technical documents, in English, for issue to prospective suppliers. In parallel with the above, I had the additional role for developing the Operational Requirements and Concepts of Operation for an integrated Traffic Sequencing Programme consisting of a Departure Manager (DMAN) and an Arrival Manager (AMAN)) for use at Zaventum (Brussels International Airport). 1997 - 2001 National Air Traffic Services (NATS) 2000-2001 ATC Systems Engineer (Systems Design, Requirements Engineering) Member of the NAS Services Systems Engineering Group at NATS Software Services (NSS) involved with a number of projects and work packages. The most recent work includes: Analysis of the sustainability of the major components of the UK FDP systems resulting in a recommendation of a set of essential hardware platform upgrades and changes to applications functionality to support minimum sustainment as well as functionality changes to provide significant operational and business benefit within or beyond the sustainment period. Feasibility of a number of Transition Strategies for the transition from NATS current ATC architecture to target architecture that proposes using a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf 'Strategic System' at both Swanwick (to support London AC, TC, and Military ATC operations) and New Scottish Centre (to support Scottish AC, TC, & Mil operations and Manchester AC & TC operations). Both the sustainability study and the Transition studies were conducted in support of NATS Request for Information (RFI) to ATC Systems suppliers (Raytheon, Thales, Alenia, Alenia Marconi and Lockheed Martin). ATC Systems Engineer (Systems Design, Requirements Engineering) I joined as a member of the 'Dual NAS' project team, the aim of which was to implement changes to the NATS FDP capability to support the introduction of the New Scottish Centre at Prestwick. This specifically involves advancing the UK ATC capability from one FDP system supporting two UK Centres (London, Prestwick) to Two FDP systems supporting two UK Centres (Swanwick, Prestwick) that is, transitioning from 'One Centre Strategy' to 'Two Centre Strategy'. Work on the 'Dual NAS' project included: Analysis of the impact of the Dual NAS architecture on the existing (legacy) NATS FDP system infrastructure leading to a specification of the nature and size (including cost) of change required to the legacy systems. A comprehensive consultation with ATC operational staff and ATC customer to analyse the impact of the 'Two Centre Strategy' on current ATC modes of operation, leading to a specification of application changes required to implement the 'Two Centre Strategy' for the Dual NAS System. A comprehensive consultation with ATC operational staff and ATC customer to analyse the impact of the 'Two Centre Strategy' on current SSR code management within the UK. This work led to a further study in SSR (transit) code shortages and an analysis of traffic patterns across the UK airspace (including the effect of jet streams across the Atlantic), and any code sharing agreements UK may have with adjacent centres, on SSR code usage in the UK. A comprehensive consultation with ATC operational staff and ATC customer to determine the level of interoperability required for the 'Two Centre Strategy'. A comprehensive consultation with the ATC customer to provide an analysis of operational impact of Airspace changes due to 'Two Centre Strategy'. Analysis of the impact of 'Two Centre Strategy' on Military Flights Production of the System Design Document for the Dual NAS Project. Production of the Hardware Options Paper for the Dual NAS Project Production of System and Sub-System requirements for changes required to the NATS FDP system for the Dual NAS project Other work for NAS Services Systems Engineering Evaluation of the Requirements Engineering Process and recommendation of improvements Evaluation of Requirements Management Tool-sets (DOORS, RTM, XTie) for Requirements Engineering throughout NATS Software Services (NSS), resulting in the recommendation and implementation of training, requirements engineering processes and procedures for the DOORS requirements management tool.
