In 2019, the first wave of SESAR 2020 industrial research programme came to a close, delivering a number of solutions (as part of Release 9) to the necessary level of maturity to make them available for pre-industrialisation (Technology readiness level 6 or V3).

The closure of the first wave of activities has resulted in a prioritisation of the remaining candidate solutions, focusing on those that will bring the expected benefits and that will reach V3 maturity by the end of the SESAR 2020 programme. This means that work has discontinued on a number of solutions.
At the same time, a total of 15 projects (12 focusing on industrial research and three very large-scale demonstrations) will continue work in the second wave of the programme with a view to delivering a further 50 solutions.
The third edition of the SESAR Solution Catalogue provides a holistic view of the status of SESAR R&D in 2019 and offering solutions to some of the pressing challenges facing European aviation today. The publication covers the results of the first R&D programme (SESAR 1); more than 60 solutions, many of which are in the process of deployment at local and European levels. It also presents details of the ongoing R&D (candidate solutions) as we reach midway in the current programme, SESAR 2020. Finally, the catalogue gives a flavour of some of the promising results coming out of the SESAR’s dedicated exploratory research programme.
