European Organisation for the Safety of Air
Navigation
2A New ATM System is Needed
- Traffic forecast to double by 2025
- Air Traffic growth must come with
- Significant reduction in safety incidents
- Maintaining delays at economic optimum
- Issues
- ATC pushed to its limits
- Airspace fragmentation
- Obsolescent technologies
Traffic
Closing the capacity gap
3 SESAR European ATM Master Plan Committing to
Make Future Happen
- Needs
- Turn off fragmented approach
- Accelerate evolution in response to challenges
- Synchronise plans and actions
- from research to operations
- airborne and ground deployments
- SESAR
- Technical/operational change, supported by Single
European Sky legislation - Address European needs and Global interoperability

711 SESAR Key Performance Areas (same as ICAO)
8Quantified Performance Targets
Derived from needs of society and airspace users
- Design Goals for scalable future capability
- Safety factor 10
- Capacity handle 3 times traffic
- Environment - 10 effects per flight
Progressive deployment, when/where needed
- 2020 targets
- Capacity 73 overall
- Safety improvement factor 3
- Costs to airspace users - 50
Also addressed Security, Efficiency,
Flexibility, Predictability, Global
Interoperability, Access, Equity, Participation

9A tri-partite Partnership to Achieve Performance
in Operations
Future European ATM System
Supply of airspace capacity air traffic
services
10A Paradigm Shift from airspace-based to
trajectory-based environment
11SESAR Concept of Operations (1/3)
- A central tenet Trajectory Management
- Flight handled as a gate-to-gate continuum
including turnaround operations - Execution of each flight as close as possible to
owners intention the business/mission
trajectory - Driver for a new approach to dynamic airspace
design management - 4D trajectory management enabling user-preferred
routing (except where/when provision of
sufficient capacity requires structured network)
12SESAR Concept of Operations (2/3)
- A managed network
- Integration of airports in the ATM system
- Collaborative planning of network operations and
demand/capacity balancing continuously reflected
in the Network Operations Plan (NOP) - User Driven Prioritisation Process allowing
Airspace Users to trade between themselves delay
allocation - Network Manager is the ultimate mediator
- New features and techniques
- New separation modes
- Enhanced automation to assist the human who will
remain central in the system as manager and
decision-maker
13SESAR Concept of Operations (3/3)
- Collaborative Decision Making enables better
decisions and efficient operations - airspace user needs and network constraints are
considered timely - better understanding of the network effects of
the decisions - Requirements
- best possible information to be available, shared
used, integrating aircraft and ground
facilities - a system wide information management allowing
each stakeholder to exploit the power of shared
information, within an appropriate system
architecture
14ConOps Impact on Information Needs
15SESAR Service-Oriented Architecture Serving
Information Sharing Decision-Making
- A main SWIM enabler a comprehensive information
model integrating all ATM business related data - With defined quality of service requirements
- Timeliness (real-time-sharing), Accuracy,
Availability, Security, etc. - With rules for ownership, access, right to modify
16SWIM Information at the Heart of the System
17CNS Technologies
- Communication
- Data link as primary means, voice as back-up
- New a-g data link 2 independent complementary
means, terrestrial satellite - New airport surface communication data link,
WIMAX based (ATS AOC) - PENS as integrated fixed ground-ground IP based
network (SWIM, voice over IP) - Navigation
- GNSS primary aircraft positioning means for all
flight phases - Decommissioning of conventional Navaids DME
maintained as back-up - FMS / aircraft functions enhanced to support 4 D
trajectories special approaches - Surveillance
- Independent Cooperative Surveillance (WAM, SSR
Mode S) - PSR MS PSR for security safety
- ADS-B Out 1090 ES for non radar airspace as
complement - Air-Air Surveillance for ASAS initially via
1090ES, then high performance ADS-B link - Airport surface Combination of MLAT, SMR ADS-B
Out - Airborne/ground wake vortex weather radars
18Technological Issues
- Much RD work is already underway
- But more is needed NOW
- Outstanding issues include
- Spectrum availability
- Solution costs
- Global interoperability
- Some key decisions still pending further work
- Final selection of optimum technologies
- Time line for deployment of specific solutions
- Cost saving expected from
- reduction in terrestrial navigation aids
- introduction of new surveillance systems
19Performance CBA
- Holistic performance assessment with consensus as
main goal - Quantitative Fast Time Simulations, Influence
Modelling - Qualitative Screening, Influence Modelling,
Expert Judgement - Cost assessment and CBA overall per
stakeholder group - Preliminary assessment, generally positive
- More favourable to scheduled airlines
- Confirms strategic infrastructure nature of
investment - Cost Effectiveness target difficult to conclude
on feasibility
20ATM Performance Partnership
- ATMPP to include, as equals, all stakeholders
- Coordinated, consistent stakeholder position as
inputs to regulatory framework - Close coordination with ATMPP stakeholders for
ATM performance monitoring operational/technica
l coordination - Human change management Social Factors
- to be managed cooperatively with social partners
21Institutional Regulatory Framework
- No Show Stopper !
- Evolution of roles/responsibilities might have
legal implications - Recommendations
- Use existing legal framework
- Uniform legal regime for liability
accident/incident investigation desirable - Further recommendations for
- Safety regulation
- Environmental regulation
22Subsequent Milestones
- D4 (Deployment Sequence) - ongoing
- Important to get user/ANSP consensus on structure
between implementation packages elementary
operational improvements, and on deployment
dates - D5 (ATM Master Plan)
- Kick-off on 1 October
- D4 and D5 important to identify the substance of
the main technical developments of JU work
programme - D6 (Work Programme)
- Kick-off on 5 October
- Important to quickly agree on the overall WBS and
align it with JU requirements and membership
negotiations
23Conclusion
- SESAR ATM Target Concept is agreed
- SESAR Definition Phase is on track
