11:00 - 12:00: Panel debate: Civil-military collaboration, let’s be innovative and more ambitious 

Coordinated by: Maria Peteinodou, EDA & Antonio Nogueras, EUROCONTROL​

Description 

The "new normal" in EU stemming from Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine together with the need to reform ATM in Europe in order to cope with sustained air traffic growth and operations under the safest, most cost and flight-efficient and environmentally friendly conditions, has demonstrated a clear need for a change of mind-set among all civil and military stakeholders to be innovative and more ambitious in terms of collaboration. The panel will discuss the possible actions, in the operational, regulatory and technology domains that would allow civil and military aviation to reap the full benefits of the air domain.​

The functionalities included in the CP1 Regulation increase the levels of automation, cyber-secure data sharing and connectivity in ATM, providing a safer, more efficient and sustainable ATM environment. Prominent examples of Projects coordinated by SDM will be provided by the operational stakeholders participating to this panel, bringing efficiency to European ATM, in the context of the SESAR deployment. Highlighting overall safety and operational improvements, next to financial benefits brought by SESAR common projects under the coordination of SDM represent an important objective of this panel. ​​

16:10 – 16:40: Trajectory based OPS 


Coordinated by: SJU​

Description 

In Europe, the rollout of trajectory based operations (TBO) has started. The new TBO flight plan, the eFPL, is already in use in the European network. In the TBO ATC domain, initial CPDLC applications have already been deployed for a few years and their use increases every day, and over one hundred aircraft that were equipped for the SESAR demonstrations routinely downlink the FMS trajectory. Data sharing between ground actors is also on the rise. In the SESAR programme, research is under way into the more advanced TBO features in both the network and ATC domains. ​

The aim of this session is to take a step back, to provide an overview of the concepts that underpin TBO. TBO is an evolution from the old paradigm based on a filed light plan, which cannot be changed, and tactical ATC interventions during the flight. TBO calls for full integration of flight information both in the planning and execution phases in order to create a synchronised view of flight data by all actors involved, based on timely exchange of trajectory data between all concerned actors. The session will also include an update on the joint work between the EUROCONTROL Network Manager, SDM and SJU on the Network 4D Trajectory CONOPS including the ATC-ATC exchanges evolution work in this context and on the latest evolutions related to FF-ICE implementation. ​
