The ATO Data Center Glenn Dale is a National Airspace System (NAS) mission support system, which directly supports Aviation System Standards, National Aeronautical Charting Office (NACO) functions, programs, and overall mission. The ATO Data Center consists of consolidation of servers and the infrastructure required in providing support and services to the FAA, NAS, and public customers through connectivity to the ATO Local Area Network (LAN), FAA network backbone, FAA Intranet, and the Internet.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), within the Department of Transportation (DOT), has been given the responsibility to carry out safety programs and is responsible for providing the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world. The FAA is responsible for:

• Regulating civil aviation to promote safety; 
• Encouraging and developing civil aeronautics, including new aviation technology; 
• Developing and operating a system of air traffic control and navigation for both civil and military aircraft; 
• Developing and carrying out programs to control aircraft noise and other environmental effects of civil aviation; and 
• Regulating U.S. commercial space transportation.. 

One of the initiatives that helps the FAA meet these responsibilities is the Facility Security Risk Management (FSRM) Program, which provides security-related structural improvements, and electronic systems that protect buildings, information systems, and personnel. The FSRM Program is managed by the FAA's Air Traffic Facilities, Infrastructure and Security Service Group, Facility Security Team.

One of the programs that helps the FAA fulfill this mission is the OPERATIONAL AND SUPPORTABILITY IMPLEMENTATION SYSTEM (OASIS), which is a system providing the capabilities for acquiring and displaying weather graphics products, emergency services, law enforcement, administrative and supervisory capabilities, flight planning and regulatory information and system maintenance functions.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), within the Department of Transportation (DOT), has been given the responsibility to carry out safety programs to ensure the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world. The FAA is responsible for:

• Regulating civil aviation to promote safety;
• Encouraging and developing civil aeronautics, including new aviation technology;
• Developing and operating a system of air traffic control and navigation for both civil and military aircraft;
• Developing and carrying out programs to control aircraft noise and other environmental effects of civil aviation; and
• Regulating U.S. commercial space transportation.

One of the programs that helps the FAA fulfill this mission is Selections WithIn Faster Times (SWIFT), a suite of automated personnel processing programs that support the FAA's personnel processes.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), within the Department of Transportation (DOT), has been given the responsibility to carry out safety programs.  The FAA is responsible for:

• Regulating civil aviation to promote safety;
• Encouraging and developing civil aeronautics, including new aviation technology;
• Developing and operating a system of air traffic control and navigation for both civil and military aircraft;
• Researching and developing the National Airspace System and civil aeronautics;
• Developing and carrying out programs to control aircraft noise and other environmental effects of civil aviation; and
• Regulating U.S. commercial space transportation.

One of the programs that will help fulfill this mission is the Regulation and Certification Infrastructure for System Safety (RCISS) program.   RCISS will provide the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure to the FAA’s Office of Aviation Safety (AVS) safety workforce so it will have access to safety data at the time and location needed to assess safety factors in real-time.

One of the programs that helps the FAA fulfill this mission is the Logical Access and Authorization Control Service (LAACS).

The LAACS system consists of hardware, software, human capital, business functions, processes, and informational functionality.  The LAACS Support System Infrastructure (LSSI) provides access to the IBM Rational tool set through a VMware Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI). The VDI provides web enabled access to FAA users and Technical Center LAACS team members.  The LSSI is a fully functional test environment that will support Identity Management System (IDMS), vendor solutions for FAA testing.  Once an IDMS vendor is selected, LAACS will provide automated mechanisms to support the secure authentication of users to system resources and will provide a cohesive solution for the management of information system accounts across the enterprise.
