What is SWIM?
SWIM is an information technology program that
will operate in the background to provide
seamless information to users who have a valid
need for the data
SWIM will:
• Lower information costs
• Increase speed to establish new interfaces
• Increase common situational awareness
• Increase National Airspace System agility
SWIM is not:
• A big system in a new facility
• A giant database
• A replacement for FAA telecommunications
program

SWIM Program
• The System Wide Information Management (SWIM) program includes the needed
policies, standards, and tools for information- and data-sharing between National
Airspace System (NAS) systems.
• SWIM is not a giant database; it is the means to share information in the many
existent but separate systems.
• SWIM allows all parties to have the same complete set of information so that they
can make real-time decisions and quickly reach agreement.
• SWIM will provide the means for more complete, accurate and timely informationsharing between the FAA and the Department of Homeland Security, the
Department of Defense, and other government agencies.

Problems with Current FAA Information
Sharing
Host
WARP
• Each connection is
custom and does not
satisfy future data
exchange needs.
• Existing point to point
hardwired NAS.
• Costly development,
test, maintenance, CM.
• New decisions linked
to old data constructs.
• Cumbersome data
access outside of NAS.

Program Overview
• Nine Segment 1 capabilities were derived from
Communities of Interest:
– Aeronautical Information Management (AIM)
– Flight & Flow Management (F&FM)
– Weather
• SWIM will not implement a separate infrastructure for
Segment 1
– SWIM will leverage existing infrastructures, processes,
resources, and logistics chains that are part of the program
offices “touched” by the 9 SWIM capabilities
– SWIM Governance to ensure common protocols and
interfaces, assisted by use of commercial software for Core
Services
