Objectives

Today, ATM in Europe mostly consists of country-based systems and processes, which require customised systems and solutions at each ATM provider. This has led inevitably to a lack of interoperability and higher costs of air navigation services across Europe and an inefficient usage of resources. The virtual centre refers to the decoupling air traffic management (ATM) data services, such as flight data, radar, and weather information, from the physical controller working position (CWP). The project will develop a “triangle architecture”, a powerful type of architecture based on disaggregating services currently offered by one main ATM data service provider (ADSP) into new specific functionality-oriented ADSPs for arrival management, time-based separation and conflict detection and resolution. The project will also develop cyber-resilience tools focused to monitor attacks and display alerts if detected.
