AIR NEXUS Capabilities
From observation to shared understanding.
Eleven capabilities that move airspace data from separate observations to a picture that can be inspected.
Evidence levelE1Architecture Defined
Eleven capabilities in four groups
Each capability does one job and hands its result to the next. Follow the chain from what is observed to what is delivered.
Observe
Take in what each source sees, and what it does not.
Understand
Relate, combine, follow and class what was observed, and say how sure each step is.
Preserve
Keep the record, the conditions and the health of the system, so the picture can be trusted later.
Deliver and scale
Hand the understanding on without losing its meaning, and widen it from a site to a region.
How the capabilities combine
One object, followed through five capabilities. Every step keeps what the step before it knew.
- Two sources report somethingEach report keeps its source and its time.
- The reports are relatedA candidate relationship is proposed and tested, and it stays a candidate.
- They become one estimateFusion keeps a link from the estimate to each contribution.
- The estimate is followed over timeOne track holds the state across updates and gaps.
- The state states how sure it isConfidence arrives with its reasons, and unknown stays unknown.

Capabilities and where they apply
Each cell names the projects through which a capability reaches an environment. An empty cell means no project links them.
What the evidence allows
A capability page never claims more than the strongest project it rests on, and most rest on designs that have not yet been validated in the field.
