Call
Summary
The general objective is to modernise transport infrastructure on the Core and Comprehensive Networks of the TEN-T.
Detailed Call Description
In accordance with the Article 9(2)(b)(ii) of the CEF Regulation, works related to the timely and synchronised implementation of Common Project One (Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/116 of 1/02/2021) in accordance with the deployment approach defined in the SESAR Deployment ProgrammeThe SESAR Deployment Programme 2022 edition will be supported.
This Call for Proposals addresses the short-term implementation needs stemming from the SESAR Deployment Programme. These needs are defined considering: technical aspects, which make the related sub-functionalities essential to advance in the implementation of the overarching ATM functionality; the implementation status of the relevant ATM functionalities or sub-functionalities, aiming to fill any current implementation gaps; and the contribution to network performance, focussing on the SESAR Deployment Programme ‘Families’ that mostly contribute to network performance improvements, to digitalisation and to the objectives of the European Green Deal.
Implementation projects (Article 10 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 409/2013) related to any of the following sub-functionalities defined in the Annex of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/116 of 1/02/2021 will be supported under this topic:
- ATM sub-functionality on AMAN / DMAN integration
- ATM sub-functionality on airport operations plan, limited to the Extended Airport Operations Plan
- ATM sub-functionality on AOP/NOP integration
- ATM sub-functionality on meteorological information exchange
- ATM sub-functionality on cooperative network information exchange
- ATM sub-functionality on flight information exchange (Yellow profile)
If selected, it is essential that the proposed projects fully implement the above-mentioned sub-functionalities within the agreed timeframe that will be defined in the grant agreement and by the respective legal implementation deadlines defined in Common Project One. For this purpose, proposals must define clear milestones, consistent with the SESAR Deployment Programme, that allow a close follow-up of the progress of the projects. Where appropriate, proposals must include a milestone requiring the submission of requests to the competent authorities for the certification/approval of the infrastructure and the submission of the change of the functional system resulting from the implementation of the above-mentioned functionalities that are necessary for operational implementation.
