The Flight and Flow - Information for a Collaborative Environment (FF-ICE) concept, developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Air Traffic Management (ATM) Requirements and Performance Panel (ATMRPP), describes an Air Traffic Management (ATM) future with an increasing dependency on information automation, collaboration, and efficiency. ATM systems will become increasingly inter-dependent, relying upon the consistency and quality of shared data to meet their mutual and individual objectives.To achieve the Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) vision, ATM systems and stakeholders will need to operate against a common flight reference. This paper presents the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Flight Object Management Capability (FOMC) concept that aims to address this need. FOMC provides a set of core services that establish the FAA's Flight Information Management strategy known as OneFlight. National Airspace Systems (NAS) users leverage OneFlight services to conduct planning, filing, and many other flight related actions to meet their operational needs, e.g. Trajectory Based Operations (TBO). OnceFlight is key to achieving the FAA Info-Centric NAS vision.This paper also discusses the FAA Flight Object Proof-of-Concept (POC) that is a demonstration effort to validate the Flight Object concept. The FAA uses POC activities to validate and mature future concepts.Outcomes from these activities provide information to guide programs that will implement the functionality in the operational NAS environment. A critical need to provide FF-ICE service is the ability to operate in a mixed-mode environment where legacy monolithic systems with custom binary interfaces need to be integrated with modern service-based architectures. A key accomplishment of the Flight Object POC effort was proving out how this integration can be achieved through the FOMC.
