Transcript The Technological Pillar of the

SESAR
The Technological Pillar of the
Single European Sky
SESAR:
Technological Pillar of SES
European Challenges:
 Traffic forecast to double by 2025
 Growth must come with significant performance sustainability
 Issues: ATC pushed to its limits; obsolescent technologies; airspace fragmentation
 Less environmental impact
A new ATM System is required
Needs:
SESAR
 Turn off fragmented approach
 Accelerate evolution in response
to challenges
 Synchronise plans and actions
 Technical/operational change, supported
by Single European Sky legislation
 Direct involvement of aviation industry
in all phases
 Address European needs and
Global interoperability
 from research to operations
 airborne and ground
deployments
SESAR Technological Pillar of SES

Technology – developed and deployed

SESAR Operational Deployment

SESAR – ‘Single European Sky ATM Research’
Concentrates all European R&D efforts in a single programme
SESAR Joint Undertaking will drive technological improvements in line with
the ATM Master Plan
SESAR to ensure sustainable air transport development in Europe through a
performance driven approach
Evolutionary approach: phased delivery according to operation/business
need and maturity level
SES Interoperability Regulation will support SESAR with Implementing
Rules
SES Performance Regulation will support SESAR with incentives through
targets at Community level to move service providers to a more businessoriented approach
Not just in Europe. . . . . . . . .

European Legislation affects everyone at a global level and will drive
innovation, development and deployment of technological change
SESAR – International Cooperation

Air transport is a ‘business’ on a global scale



Modernisation is therefore a world-wide issue



The need for change is increasing
Many of the same operations, performance and technology issues already
occur, or will shortly occur outside of the Single European Skies area
While regional problems need to be solved,
account also needs to be taken of the global impact
Today’s Regional problems become tomorrows Global issues and
must be solved only once

We need to look outside our regions to avoid the local-only solutions, and
see the global context
SESAR – Technology Strategy for ATM

Aircraft systems will play an increasingly significant role in the future
ATM operating concept



We are entering a more ‘Information Centric’ world


Technology-centric methods of operation, both on board aircraft and on the
ground
Essential to reach interoperability agreements outside of our own regions
on areas including trajectory management
We need the right information in the right places, with the right people and
at the right times to ensure that decisions are taken that deliver the
optimum solution at that time
Realisation of an ‘ATM Intranet’ – the ‘system of systems’

We are far from having this capability across the ATM network today, so
many operational, environmental and business inefficiencies still exist
SESAR – Action Now And Vision For
Tomorrow
 Meeting the demands for change depends on a pragmatic
approach using proven solutions developed in partnership
 We use operational trials to build trust, understanding and
confidence in the solution, thus accelerating the pace of change
 Actions today includes; DataLink, airspace management and
capacity planning tools, Flight data processing, controller tools,
and Atlantic Interoperability Initiative to Reduce Emissions
(AIRE)
SESAR – Delivering Through
Partnership

Europe needs solutions suitable for our different airspace types
and operational traffic densities



European Union legislation will drive regulation and
standardisation



Many of these airspace types exist elsewhere in the world
We are already looking at how SESAR aligns with NextGen
In order that change occurs for all participating countries at the
same time
Specifications (as a means of compliance) will be developed with
our key partners and stakeholders, including EUROCAE
SESAR Joint Undertaking, along with its partners is committed
to looking for solutions under Single European Skies that are
also suitable for use outside of Europe
SESAR – An International Programme



We will be working to align and maintain our goals and strategies
internationally whilst delivering concrete results every 1-2 years,
many of these being deployed into operation
We are committed to ensure that true interoperability is really
delivered
International cooperation is one of our highest priorities
 The SESAR Joint Undertaking is committed to apply all our efforts to make
it a success through our partnerships and communication initiatives

SESAR Joint Undertaking is open to membership by non-EU
organisations
 Other regions and countries need to tackle many of the same ATM issues
sooner or later
 SESAR is meeting with other organisations, countries/regions on
membership or agreements leading to specific areas of technical
cooperation
 We can work together either via our partners or directly if appropriate
SESAR – Building Global Partnerships




Partnerships needed to
accelerate the implementation
of SESAR solutions
Pragmatic approach focused
on gathering experience from
live trials
Hasten the implementation of
solutions locally, as well as
from a pan-European and
global perspective
Building on existing initiatives
such as AIRE, SESAR will
establish a series of gateway
airports and associated air
navigation service providers,
airspace users and the supply
industry to pioneer the
implementation of SESAR

SESAR – In Partnership With ICAO
 Many operational and technological changes need to be agreed
at an international level, for example:
 Definition and exchange format of the 4-D trajectory (Network
Operations Plan, Flight Plan, time synchronisation), System-Wide
Information Management, Collaborative Decision Making,
Information Definitions and Security, Airspace Management,
Capacity Planning, etc
 ICAO to facilitate the coordination of these international
activities, meeting the schedule needs of SESAR
 Forum SESAR-NextGen, 8-10 September 2008
ICAO Conformance
 The SESAR ConOps follows ICAO Global ATM
Operational Concept Document
 In line with ICAO Global Air Navigation Plan
 ICAO Performance Manual with the 11 Key Performance
Areas
SESAR – Overall Structure

SESAR is organised in three phases:

The definition phase (2006-2008), co-funded by the EC and
EUROCONTROL and under the responsibility of the Agency


The development phase (2008-2016), under the management of
the SESAR Joint Undertaking


Resulted in the European ATM Master Plan
Based on the Master Plan, will result in new common standards, new
operational procedures, new technologies and components
The deployment phase (2015-2025)

Will implement the results of the development phase, delivering the
performance increase foreseen in the ATM Master Plan

The SESAR Joint Undertaking
 Created by the European Union Council Reg. N°219/2007
 Responsible for the execution of the ATM Master Plan, and in
particular the management of the SESAR Development phase
 Two founding members: the EC and EUROCONTROL
 Public-private partnership: industry & other States
 Management under a single structure of public and private
sector funding
 Ensures the involvement of all stakeholders of ATM sector
 €2,100 million over 8 years
ATM Master Plan: Why?
Network
Performance
Collaborative application of the operational concept and enablers
ATM Master Plan = focused commitment
 Shorter term: synchronised implementation actions
 Longer term: common research and validation programme
The Master Plan
 One plan for all
