1. Airspace Configurations Yevgen Pechenik EUROCONTROL DNMM/COO/NOM/OPL/PRO Civil-Military Workshop 20-21 September 2012

2. ASM Directions of Work - Statement The vision: 1.INTRODUCES a performance driven ‘modus operandi’ based on management of Airspace Configurations 2.PROVIDES processes that support utilisation of more dynamic and flexible elements 3.DESCRIBES a seamless ASM/ATFCM/ATS process with advanced real time management of Airspace Configurations as well as continuous sharing of information enabled by SESAR

3. Airspace Configurations – Background Airspace Configuration (as defined in the Airspace Strategy and mentioned in the SESAR Target Concept of Operations [2.2.4.1.3]): “Is a pre-defined and coordinated organisation of routes and their associated airspace structures, temporary airspace reservations and ATC sectorisation ”

4. FUA 2017 Directions of Work Current v. New Levels 1,2 & 3 fixed in time Levels 1,2 & 3 interactive Independent national ASM Consolidated Network mngt Fixed ATS Route System Free Route Airspace (FRA) Fixed Scenarios Dynamic Airspace Configurations Time constrained snapshotsAMC & FMP separatedFixed sectors Proactive sector management Static TRA/TSAs Moving/Mobile/Variable Areas CDRs Conditional Structures (CDS) Europe-wide CBO sharing CBO only between neighbours AUP, CRAM, eAMI,….. SWIM enabled NOP Continuous process Integrated civil/military function

5. Airspace Configurations – Background Airspace Configurations : Comprise: Pre-defined fixed or flexible route options Optimised trajectories (e.g. FRA) Optimised sectorisation Environmental constraints (if determined) Initially expected: To be pre-planned strategically Capable of being dynamically adapted To respond to different performance objectives Finally expected: To become fully dynamic (towards 2020+)

11. ASM Directions of Work – Work Area 2 Development of Airspace Configuration Process 2012-2017 Develop detailed criteria for definition of Airspace Configuration Develop process and procedures for Airspace Configurations development Define roles and responsibilities of actors involved Describe functioning of the Joint Civil-Military function Describe the required dynamism Develop operational requirements for systems supporting ACs Define final ops requirements and implement in the network system Promote local/regional CDRM processes
