Industrial Research & Validation for Master Plan Phase C Connected and Automated ATM
Summary
The key objective of this topic is to achieve TRL6 maturity level for the levels of automation and connectivity, supporting higher productivity and improved sharing of information among stakeholders, thus building a solid foundation. The scope is limited to those SESAR solutions identified as ‘key’ in the European ATM Master Plan 2020.
Detailed Call Description
- Future satellite datalink technologies in SatCom Class A. Achieve TRL6 for future satellite datalink technologies in SatCom Class A for both continental and remote/oceanic regions, including providing support for standardisation on future communications infrastructure multilink if necessary to integrate SatCom Class A technologies (PJ.14-W2-107).
- Combined airborne and ground GBAS approach service type F (GAST-F). Achieve TRL6 for Galileo-based GAST-D and GAST-F to maximise the benefits of this technology, including for CAT II/III operations, to allow for more robust operations, including at high and low latitudes with tougher ionospheric conditions. This element also addresses increased resilience to radio frequency interference on a single band and increased resilience to single-constellation outages or failures (PJ.14-W2-79b). (further details in the Funding&Tenders page)
- DFMC GNSS / SBAS / aircraft-based augmentation system (ABAS) receivers. Achieve TRL6 for DFMC GNSS/SBAS/ABAS receivers and additional avionics systems processing GPS and Galileo signals in L1/E1 and L5/E5, taking into account architectural considerations, assessing transitional aspects, and exploiting synergies and complementarities between different augmentations (DFMC ABAS (advanced receiver autonomous integrity monitoring) and DFMC SBAS) in nominal and degraded modes. This includes the development of DFMC GNSS receivers for state aircraft – that is, undertaking standardisation work on the introduction of DFMC GNSS, based on the use of secure signals, for state aircraft operations in a general air traffic environment.
- LDACS digital voice capability. Achieve TRL6 for the capability of the future terrestrial air–ground datalink solution (LDACS) to exchange digital voice services. Digital voice is expected to replace VHF radio completely in the long term in all continental operational environments: en route (flight-centric or based on geographical sectors, continental high and low density), TMA and tower, including ground and platform control.
- LDACS Navigation (LDACS-NAV) capability. Achieve TRL6 for LDACS capability as a potential target alternative position, navigation and timing (A-PNT) solution. The objective is to further study LDACS as a complementary system to the current navigation infrastructure, taking advantage of its development as a primary communications system. LDACS is one of most suitable candidates, as it can be easily deployed with distance-measuring equipment (DME) and is a driver for navigation infrastructure rationalisation, capable of meeting RNP 0.3 requirements.
