SESAR: Why ?

SESAR• Modernise the European ATM

System• Technical/operational arm of the

Single European Sky legislation• Direct involvement of aviation

industry in all phases• Address European needs and

Global interoperability

SESAR Joint Undertaking

• Public-private partnership to manage the SESAR Development Phase• Execute the European ATM Master Plan• One single ATM R&D programme in Europe

• Innovation from private sector• Public financial stability & enforcement power

• Founding members: • European Commission• EUROCONTROL

• SJU Budget: ~2.1 B€ (till 2016)• EC: 1/3• EUROCONTROL: 1/3• Industry: 1/3, co-financed

SESAR Delivery Approach

• SESAR is focused on delivering at a regular pace

• Project level: 300 operational and technical projects• Develop elements up to maturation & readiness

for operational validation• Programme level: sets of projects jointly undertake

operational validation exercises (mainly through flight trials)

• Validated concept constituents released yearly• With demonstrated benefit• Ready for industrialisation• With a proposed date for start of operation

7

Future ATM Concept: 3 Essential Considerations

Collaborative decisions based on accurate informationPartnership – Interoperability

ATM Master Plan = focused commitment• Shorter term: synchronised implementation actions• Longer term: common research and validation programme

International Technical Challenges

• To ensure interoperability, e.g.• Common time reference • New flight plan / flight object (FF-ICE)• 4D Trajectory exchange format• Information Management (data models, quality of service

requirements, sharing rules, distribution process) • D/L applications for trajectory data exchange • New wake vortex separations based on time• Procedures for delegation ATC/Pilots• Time based separations

• Area for particular attention• UAS (sense & avoid: new rules & technologies)

Will require new ICAO and RTCA/EUROCAE materialWill require new ICAO and RTCA/EUROCAE material

Also need short-medium term solutions, e.g. for data comm

Global Perspective

• ICAO “Aviation System Block Upgrades”: sets of clear operational improvements with• air & ground procedures technologies • regulatory requirements & approval process • business case• carrying out of validation trials

• Basis for new Global AN Plan to be endorsed at AN-Conf/12 in 2012

• Alignment with SESAR ensured• Enables coordination with other programmes

Global traffic development spreads the same issues globally

Cooperation early in life cycle is more efficient

10

NextGen Bio

• Enacted in 2003 by President Bush and Congress• Address congestion and gridlock costing $22Bn annually• Transformation of the NAS

• Joint Planning and Development Office• Plan and co-ordinate partnerships• Public and Private

• Programmatic approach• Stepped implementation 2012 - 2025

• ADS-B • Collaborative ATM Technology - CATMT • Data Communications • NextGen Network Enabled Weather – NNEW• National Airspace System Voice System - NVS• System Wide Information Management - SWIM

SESAR and NextGen Cross Enrichments

• Similarities• Alignment with the ICAO Global ATM concept• Trajectory Management central to operations• Technology• Data communication

• DifferencesSESAR

• Deployment horizons (IOC)• Airport airside operations incl.

turn-around (gate-to-gate)• SWIM – distributed information• Collaborative planning/execution,

user firmly in the loop (user owns the flight trajectory)

• Single reference business/ mission flight trajectory

NextGen• Deployment horizons (IOC)• Airport landside operations incl.

passenger handling (curb-to-curb)• SWIM – centralised information• Collaborative planning/execution,

user firmly in the loop• Weather a major issue• Incl. homeland security

12

FAA-EUROCONTROL Cooperation: Some Achievements to Date

• Development of guidance material • PBN Seminar given with FAA & ICAO in the various regions

• ICAO reference material, developed in cooperation & jointly maintained by EUROCONTROL & FAA

• Complementary coordinated initiatives on Weather & Flight Exchange models & towards an overarching ATM Information Reference Model (AIRM)

Flightpath 2050 - Europe’s Vision for Aviation Maintaining Global Leadership & Serving Society’s Needs

• 5 Goals• Meeting societal & market needs• Maintaining and extending industrial leadership• Protecting environment and energy supply• Ensuring safety and security• Prioritising research, testing capabilities &

education

• Instruments• (New) Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in

Europe (ACARE)• Launched at Paris Air Show on 21 June

• SRIA: Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda• To be available in 2012

Challenges - How to Get There?

• Technical evolution• Multi-facility (ATC, aircraft, airport) consistency• Network-wide effects increase interdependence & sensitivity of

solutions to local situations and perturbations

• Transition

• Convince deciders• Ensure stable commitments
