Real-time simulations (RTS) are widely recognised as a means to support the validation process of systems and procedures up to the highest operational readiness levels and are therefore widely used to support validation campaigns in the SESAR context. With the development of new ATM concepts in recent years and those expected in the near future (e.g. innovative air mobility,) verification and validation processes have become increasingly complex, with increasing demands on the infrastructures for validating these concepts and operational conditions. The project aims at supporting a wide diffusion of interoperability standards among ATM validation platforms. An economic analysis of performing validation processes for ATM/AAM/U-space interoperability concepts and solutions through a multi-site validation architecture will be performed. An experimental demonstration test will be defined and performed to collect data for this analysis.

The project aims at exploring the potential for this increased interoperability by defining and conducting an experimental demonstration test, from which data are collected for analysis. For this demonstration, various simulation facilities will be connected through a prototype platform to develop a state-of-the-art interoperability solution.

Additional activities in the project to support this objective include an evaluation of interoperability technical standards among ATM validation platforms, an economic analysis of performing validation processes in the interoperability concept and an assessment of the security aspect related to data exchange between these platforms. Furthermore, the impact on human performance data collection, from distributed actors, will be evaluated.
