SESAR-DEMONSTRATORS Other SESAR Projects – works

Summary

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.

Detailed Call Description

Works related to any of the following projects will be supported:

  • Performance Based Navigation (PBN Regulation)

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.

  • Datalink Services (DLS Regulation)

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:

    • must provide evidence that the avionics upgrades are fully interoperable with currently deployed datalink systems by all Communication Service Providers and air navigation service providers.
    • Are encouraged to team up and submit a single proposal that covers several aircraft grouped and coordinated by a single coordinating entity.
  • ADS-B (SPI Regulation)

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:

  • proposed by consortia grouping air navigation providers and airspace users, including general aviation, operating within the same local environment;
  • that include the decommissioning of legacy infrastructure.
