Host computers are not flexible enough to go forward with ICAO? Our center just receive a mailbox (noticed from the Tech Center) about ICAO 2012 going into the Host system since ERAM won't be ready. <br />"Adaptation sucks since each center is unique" Really! each center is suppose to be unique just given its geographically location. ERAM isn't a hybrid of anything. Instead of taking a working system and migrating it to a newer platform and add enhancements the FAA throws it all way. They are trying to recreate what they already have, spending nearly 3 billion dollars for no functional improvement. <br /><br />Don one disagreement about ERAM being the dead elephant in the room, I mostly agree. But the FAA has left itself no way out of the box. Which I believe both Lockheed and the FAA program office had in mind all along. Provide no other path but the ERAM one. It will take ERAM 20 plus years to achieve the functionality that is built into Host today. Besides ADS-B is running 24x7 at ZHU. <br /><br />Take the billions that were already wasted and start over? just can't happen, they have already lied to congress to may times.Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111543169780544019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34690855.post-12525220535001569072011-12-08T13:52:51.338-05:002011-12-08T13:52:51.338-05:00Something has to replace the Host computers, they ...Something has to replace the Host computers, they aren't flexible enough to go forward with ICAO and other requirements. Adaptation sucks, since eache center has to be unique. <br /><br />ERAM is a possibility, or a hybred super commonARTs would be another option. <br /><br />(common arts was capable of handling 10000 airplanes in a tracon, ERAM is only required to handle 1000 in a center).Tom Brusehaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814907633239666295noreply@blogger.com
