Afterward, John Kefoliotis with Exelis ITT welcomed the DCIT group and gave a brief background and history of ITT Exelis. Gregg Anderson reiterated that DCIT meetings are a forum where discussion is encouraged. With that said, he segued into program updates: o DCIS Contract award is getting close and there is a lot of activity at FAA Headquarters to meet milestones and deadlines. o Thales/Exelis – There is a schedule issue with delivering the products at previously expected times. The box has been delivered, installation checkout process has occurred, Boeing lab tests, Airbus in France in process. Patches and fixes being collected. Issue: A hyphen is part of the logon. This causes a break in the logon and produces a mis-match in revision numbers between HADDS and FDIO. Thales and ITT Exelis are working to figure out how to correct this. o Gregg assured that, while this is an unexpected hurdle, it is NOT considered a failure. It requires a concerted team effort to overcome, but there is a solution to getting oast this issue. o 4 builds to be delivered and installed by late November. “Definition of Success” is a request made by the Data Comm Program Manager, Sandra Anderson. A Tiger Team will possibly be developed to develop a draft of the definition. The NextGen film crew has funded video footage for trials and video shooting is scheduled to start with FedEx/Memphis Tower site acceptance. NATCA counterparts will spend time at Tech Center the week of August 27th. There will be training for the GUI, as well as many other moving parts related to the DCIT. The Data Comm Program Manager will visit and tour the facilities while gathering updates and progress reports. Matt Maki presented the DCL Trials update to discuss the DTAP Development Status and Trials Activities/Schedule/Testing Status. This presentation can be viewed on the DCIT website – “Departure Clearance Trials DCIT 17 - Matt Maki”. Discussions that came from the presentation: o Pete Muraca starts testing of DTAP boxes today (August 23, 2012); OT&E NATCA rep starts mid September. 2 FAA NextGen Data Communications Program Data Communications Implementation Team (DCIT) Plenary Meeting DCIT #17 DATE: TIME: PLACE: August 23, 2012 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ITT Exelis 2733 South Crystal Dr., Suite 1200 Arlington, VA 22202 o 2nd NCP to be delivered Sept 2.
