CIVIL-MILITARY COOPERATION AT GROUND LEVEL IMPROVES WITH SWIM
This Solution is a continuation of PJ.17-03-W1
Information exchange between various ground operators based on SWIM was first tested during SWIM TI yellow profile in SESAR 1. SESAR 2020 expands this data flow to fully support SWIM-based coordination and cooperation between civil and military stakeholders with an adequate quality of service, including (cyber) security/resilience, needed by military stakeholders and agreed by civil stakeholders.. The SWIM technical infrastructure - or middleware – being developed in this scope exclusively centres on SWIM-based exchanges between military systems, such as ATC, air defence (AD) or wing operations centres (WOC) systems, and civil systems, such as ATC and Network Manager (NM) systems on the ground.
Typical domains of interest include management of priority flights, military-specific requirements for air policing, sensitive data handling and resilience. The solution is relevant to any operational environment where civil-military cooperation and coordination takes place. It can apply to existing SWIM services developed in SESAR 1, or future new services. To be relevant to all sectors, the military SWIM-enabled systems can be located in a military unclassified subdomain, or in a military classified sub-domain – such as AD. In the second case, the bidirectional data flow would go through an information exchange gateway (IEG) that connects both sub-domains in order to reach the military SWIM node located in the military unclassified sub-domain, which is connected to the civil infrastructure network.
The Green Profile (GP) is based on extensions/restrictions on top of the EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM-TI Yellow Profile (YP) Edition 1.1 in order to maximize the civil-military interoperability at minimum cost.
BENEFITS
Improved and secured civil-military interoperability / collaboration mainly contributing to:
- Increasecivil ATM performance,
- Ensure a fair sky access to the military to accomplish their mission objectives (+ flight and operational efficiency improvements).
