The Connecting Europe Facility is a key EU funding instrument to promote growth, jobs and competitiveness through infrastructure investment at European level.
The objective is to support projects that implement Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) ground and airborne infrastructure, route and procedures that are not addressed by the Common Project One.
Works related to any of the following projects will be supported:
Projects should support TMA airspace optimisation, implementing SIDS and STARS using PBN specifications, not only as an additional overlay of existing procedures, but as an integral part of the airspace re-design to increase efficiency, optimize noise footprint and/or reduce radar vectoring operations. Projects may include equipping aircraft with SBAS capable avionics and rationalising the ground navigation infrastructure without compromising safety and security.
Projects in this domain support the deployment of avionics upgrades to resolve identified interoperability issues (e.g., avionics identified in the recommendations that EASA has issued in the SIBs related to VDF deafness). Projects may cover additional avionics updates that enable airspace users, who are already equipped with datalink avionics compliant with the DLS regulation, to take full advantage of the operational datalink service without any restriction (as, for example, the limitations imposed by the log on list). Applicants:
Projects in this domain support the synchronised evolution of airborne and ground surveillance infrastructure aiming to enhance surveillance services by using ADS-B technology to reduce costs, improve spectrum usage and reduce risk of over interrogations.
Priority will be given to projects:
Funding will not be granted for projects mandated under Union Law, in particular relating to the single European sky legislation, whose deadline for implementation has expired by the date on which this call is published.
Costs incurred after the deadlines established in the above mentioned legislation will not be eligible for funding.
In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must:
