ASM Directions of Work - Statement
The vision:
1. INTRODUCES a performance driven ‘modus operandi’ based on
management of Airspace Configurations
2. PROVIDES processes that support utilisation of more dynamic and
flexible elements
3. DESCRIBES a seamless ASM/ATFCM/ATS process with
advanced real time management of Airspace Configurations as well
as continuous sharing of information enabled by SESAR
Airspace Configurations – Background
Airspace Configuration
(as defined in the Airspace Strategy and mentioned in the SESAR
Target Concept of Operations [2.2.4.1.3]):
“Is a pre-defined and coordinated organisation of routes and
their associated airspace structures, temporary airspace
reservations and ATC sectorisation ”

Airspace Configurations – Background
Airspace Configurations:
• Comprise:
• Pre-defined fixed or flexible route options
• Optimised trajectories (e.g. FRA)
• Optimised sectorisation
• Environmental constraints (if determined)
• Initially expected:
• To be pre-planned strategically
• Capable of being dynamically adapted
• To respond to different performance objectives
• Finally expected:
• To become fully dynamic (towards 2020+)

Development of Airspace Configuration Process
2012-2017
• Develop detailed criteria for definition of Airspace Configuration
• Develop process and procedures for Airspace Configurations development
• Define roles and responsibilities of actors involved
• Describe functioning of the Joint Civil-Military function
• Describe the required dynamism
• Develop operational requirements for systems supporting ACs
• Define final ops requirements and implement in the network system
• Promote local/regional CDRM processes
