ESMA DSD’s Post

Since January 2024, the European Sky Multilink ATN (#ESMA) started its activities. #ESMA is a Digital Sky Demonstrator (DSD) that will be developed for the European Commission, co-funded by CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency and supported by SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking. With the main objective of developing the basis to the future ATN multilink communication concept, this project will directly tackle the L band European VDL congestion while contributing to the digitalization of European Skies. Leaded by ESSP SAS, the project will gather key stakeholders coming from the whole spectrum of our industry. From #ANSPs to #Airlines, find here a list of the different partners of the project: ENAIRE, NATS, skyguide, DSNA (Direction Generale de l'Aviation Civile), SITA, Airtel ATN, Frequentis, OBIZCO, FranklinCovey, Transavia, Air France, Airbus and Boeing. The project will be composed of two demonstrations: • Dual-link between Satcom (Iris) and VDLm2 over OSI protocols • Multilink over IPS tackling ground infrastructure development During November 2024, ESSP attended as project representative to the CEF Transport 2022 – DSD projects Kick-Off Meeting in Brussels, where CINEA and S3JU presented their framework, overall approach and expectation for the three DSD’s in the call: ·#ESMA DSD, #EXODUS and #DEVICE Project We encourage you to follow our next publications in order to get to know more about this two demos. #EUSpace #DigitalEuropeanSky #AirTrafficManagement #SESAR3JU #DigitalSky #CINEA_EU #CEFTransport #EUCommission #EU

ROMATSA and Indra recently signed a contract to enhance the current #ATM2015+ System with the capability to process flight plans in the #FIXM format using the FF-ICE protocol.   This extended functionality complements the traditional exchange of #flightplan information with additional details on actual aircraft data and desired trajectory, directly provided by the #airlines. The FF-ICE implementation in ROMATSA will include use cases that will benefit #airspaceusers and improve #capacity and #environmental #performance.   ROMATSA will be the pioneering ANSP in Europe in implementing this protocol, allowing them to demonstrate compliance with #CP1Regulation of the European Commission, which mandates enabling this capability in #ATMSystems by no later than December 31, 2025.   The #collaborative groundwork with SESAR Deployment Manager and EUROCONTROL #NetworkManager during the last months has been a cornerstone to ensure this development has the level of maturity and agreement right from the start. Implementation of FF-ICE in ROMATSA is part of the #CleanATM project, coordinated by the SDM and co-financed by the CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, through the Connecting Europe Facility. #ROMATSA #EuropeanCommission #SESARDeploymentManager #NetworkManager #CINEA #CEF #FFICE #CP1 #europeanfunding #deploymentprojects #AsOne

This week, at the Airspace World 2024 exhibition, Simona Pierattelli, #FCDI Project Coordinator, chaired the panel titled “How LDACS can drive the digital transformation of air traffic management”, together with Rohde & Schwarz, ENAIRE, Air France and DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH. The panel put together representatives from ANSPs, airlines, service providers and industry to highlight the benefits of the L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System (#LDACS) datalink and discuss the next steps for its implementation in operational #AirTrafficManagement (#ATM) systems.   The adoption of the LDACS technology, one of the key solutions of the FCDI project, will enable high throughput terrestrial datalink, which will allow to overcome the significant bottleneck in air-ground connectivity, currently a big limitation for the digitalisation of air traffic management. The panel was also an opportunity to distribute the first version of the white paper “The LDACS air-ground datalink”, prepared with contributions from industries, ANSPs and airlines for the Future Communication Infrastructure (FCI).   #AirSpaceWorld SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking

Great discussion about a potential future aviation datalink technology. Increase in the use of data communications between air and ground combined with the increase of the average density of airspace users are the main motivations for approaches such as these, enabling safety critical communications as per the established frameworks and regulations, to see light of day!

Join me in this (hopefully engaging) webinar where we will share some insights about the project we are running to redesign de Athens TMA with PBN flight procedures!

Time goes on fast! As soon as the group of air traffic controllers returned from the HMI & Supervisor workshop, it is time to reinforce the UkSATSE team by involving more experts for the preps to the real-time simulation. As part of the Flight Centric ATC project, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. and Ukrainain State Air Traffic Services Enterprise are planning to carry out a real-time simulation for the upper Ukrainian airspace using the DLRs TrafficSim platform in November 2024. UkSATSE has selected another group of air traffic controllers and experts and is conducting workshops to familiarise them with the FCA project. #fca #SESAR3FCA #Aviation #AirTrafficControl #AirTrafficManagement #HorizonEU #SESAR3JU #cineau #EuropeanCommission #DigitalEuropeanSky

🚀 DO YOU KNOW the SATERA AIMS? ✈️ The SATERA project is paving the way for a safer, more secure, and greener future in air traffic control (ATC). Here’s what we’re aiming for: 🔹GNSS-Independent ATC Surveillance We’re designing a surveillance system that doesn’t rely on GNSS, defining integrity parameters for space-based ADS-B data, enhancing Air Traffic Security & Safety. 🔹 Optimizing Air Operations SATERA will be key for long-haul flights, especially over oceanic or remote areas. We’re working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase airspace capacity, and bolster safety & security. 🔹 Boosting European Airspace Sovereignty We aim to strengthen European industrial leadership in ATC through satellite technology, advancing the deployment of space-based ADS-B and securing critical ATM services for Europe. Together, we’re shaping the future of global aviation! 🌍✈️ #Innovation #GNSS #ATCSafety #ATM #DigitalSky #SESARJU #HorizonEU #MobilityStrategy #HorizonEurope
