MDS1 SESAR The Single European Sky Single Industrial and European Technological Sky ATM Research Programme
Slide 1 MDS1 Marco De Sciscio; 21/01/2006
Europe facing development challenges Air Traffic in Europe will more than double within the next 20 years 2020 17.2 million 2006 2010 12.5 million 2005 10.5 million
Europe facing development challenges Air Traffic Control is operated like 20 years ago Basic technologies are obsolete
Europe facing development challenges Airspace cannot be further divided
An ATM reform is needed
Single European Sky The Single Sky Legislation reforms the organisation of air navigation services provision ATM Institutional reform National Supervisory Authorities and separation regulator/provider Organisation of cross-border functional airspace blocks Interoperability
SESAR ATM technological reform Technological & industrial complement to the Single Sky Legislation
SESAR One programme for Europe shared and committed to by all actors (industry, users and providers, military, staff, ) One vision to be shared with the world a solution to European issues with a global perspective
SESAR Objectives A consistent, focussed and user-driven project. Ambitious but realistic objectives for the European ATM infrastructure: Triple capacity Reduce by 50% ATM costs Increase safety by a factor of 10 10% reduction of environmental impact per flight A European project with worldwide reach
SESAR Develop and implement the key technologies and operations that will sustain European air transport growth Rationalise efforts into a consistent work programme Provide consistency between R&D and implementation, through SES Legislation.
SESAR 3 phases 2004 2008 2013-16 16 2020 > Definition Development Deployment Define the different technological steps, programme priorities and operational implementation plans. Develop new equipments, systems or standards, through defined and coherent R&D activities; Deploy the new system through a large scale production and implementation of the new ATM infrastructure.
SESAR is currently in the Under the responsibility of EUROCONTROL Definition phase Work is performed by a consortium of over 30 companies and EUROCONTROL Consortium is led by Aircraft Operators Project directorate headed by Airbus Assembles wide stakeholders expertise An effort of ~200 persons full-time for 2 years
Definition phase Total cost = 60 million co-funded by EC and Eurocontrol The definition phase will produce the European ATM Master plan
Development phase The development phase will be managed by the SESAR Joint Undertaking Single management entity Consistentency and cost effectivness
Main tasks Ensure Ensure the themodernisation of of the the European ATM ATM system system Execution of of the the development phase phase of of the the SESAR project project in in accordance to to the the ATM ATM Master Master plan. plan. Ensure Ensure the the involvement of of the the stakeholders of of the the air air traffic traffic management sector sector in in Europe Europe Coordinate and and concentrate all all relevant R&D R&D efforts efforts in in the the Community Update Update the the ATM ATM masterplan and and verify verify its its execution.

All ATM research is expected to be under the authority of the SESAR JU. New R&D projects will be fully aligned with the ATM Master Plan, and geared towards implementation ATM research activities On-going (TREN-FP6) projects are expected to be aligned with SESAR or terminated. The JU will support the Commission on the technical management of DG-TREN FP6 projects The JU will be in charge of coordination with other (non ATM) R&D.

MDS2 Conclusions SESAR is an ambitious R&D project for developing the new European ATM system Triple capacity Reduce by 50% ATM costs Increase safety by 10 Reduce environmental impact per flight by 10% SESAR is conceived as an open programme Public-private partnership - International participation
