SESAR-DEMONSTRATORS HLA – works

Summary

High Level of Automation Support – The Digital Sky Demonstrators (DSD) under this topic aim to increase the level of automation support in Air Traffic Management (ATM). The objective is to establish a network of Digital Sky Demonstrators to accelerate the transition to deployment of a number of SESAR solutions that are part of measure 3 under the airspace architecture study transition plan (AAS TP) in order to fully leverage breakthrough technologies that can contribute to the defragmentation of European skies (e.g. dynamic airspace configurations, solutions boosting the level of automation support, enhanced air-ground datalink capabilities, multilink environment, etc.)

Detailed Call Description

The scope of the topic is described in terms of individual elements. A proposal shall fully cover at least one of these elements, but should also aim at addressing as many elements as possible:

  • Increased automation support
  • New HMI interaction modes and technologies for Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU)
  • Flight-centric demonstrator to improve ANS productivity
  • Near-real-time traffic management in sequence- or flow-based coupled AMAN-DMAN (Arrival – Departure Management tools) environmment
  • Use of enriched Demand Capacity Balance (DCB) Information and enhanced what-ifs to improve flight planning, including the Network Manager (NM) flight plan approval process
  • Improving the connectivity between regional airports and the NM
  • Operating a multilink communications infrastructure
  • Integrated ground–ground back-up voice between remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) pilots and ATC
  • The initial demonstration of the next generation of air–ground datalink via LDACS
