SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Mini Global I is an open communications infrastructure that allows 
Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), airlines, and other 
stakeholders to exchange flight, weather, and aeronautical information 
using the following open standards: Flight Information Exchange Model 
(FIXM), Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM), and Weather 
Information Exchange Model (WXXM).
    Mini Global II will focus on the connectivity and data sharing 
between multiple Enterprise Messaging Services (EMSs). It will identify 
global policies, protocols, security, and business sensitivity 
requirements, mediate between diverse EMSs, and provide an 
infrastructure for future applications/services to benefit Global Air 
Traffic Management (ATM). It will extend the list of international 
partnerships and aviation stakeholders to support the validation of 
FIXM/AIXM/WXXM standards by using additional datasets in supporting 
complex use cases. The goal of Mini Global II is to further advance the 
technology and demonstrate future applications by exploiting the 
capabilities of this infrastructure.
