The programme Cooperation is one of the 4 specific Programmes
of the seventh Framework Programme.
The total budget of FP7 is 50, 521 billion €.
The budget of the specific programme Cooperation is 32,413 billion €.
With 64% of FP total budget it is the largest specific programme.
Other specific programmes are Ideas (15 %), People (9,5%) and Capacities (8%). The remaining 3,5% is the budget of non-nuclear actions of the Joint Research Centre.
The Cooperation programme is made of 10 Themes as illustrated on the slide.
The Theme Transport (including Aeronautics) has a budget of 4160 million € (12,8%).
The Theme Transport has the third largest budget of the programme, after Information and Communication (9050 million €: 27,9%) and Health (6100 million €: 18,8%).
This budget is allocated for the seven years of duration of FP7.
I would like to recall that the budget allocated to Transport under FP6 was 1850 million euros. So there is a Transport research budget increase of 60%, if one considers that the duration of the present FP is 7 years. This increase takes account of the enlargement from 15 to 27.

The 4DCo-GC project aims at exploring the concept of "4D Contract guidance and control of the aircraft" as a step change in air transport operations by providing a more radical and environmentally efficient solution for the management of the airspace. Scientific objectives of 4DCo-GC are to: - model 4D contract concepts (strategic, tactical and emergency levels) - develop algorithms (strategic, tactical planning), process and functions (failure management, emergency separation, ) needed to use 4D contacts - define and develop a global tool architecture to demonstrate and analyse the key operating advantages of the 4D contract concept, including the man's role - elaborate an assessment methodology and metrics to qualify and quantify 4D contract characteristics and performances for the control and guidance of aircraft - perform a real time assessment of 4D contract concepts of operations - organize dissemination and demonstration workshops in from of an external audience - derive from a qualification and quantification work, recommendations for future 4DT system development. 4DCo-GC brings together the expertise of 13 European and associated partners coming from 7 countries, for a total budget of 5.7 M and a total requested funding of 4.1 M. This 36 months duration programme of work is built on the results of several past EU programmes and projects. Main results expected out of 4DCo-GC project are technological components (software/hardware/architectures) and recommendations for future 4D trajectories guidance and control systems, addressing several priorities of ACARE. Regarding the short/middle-term expected evolutions of the European air transport system, 4DCo-GC is fully aligned with the orientation of SESAR, and particularly the so-called "ATM Target Concept".

HYDROSYS aims at providing a system infrastructure to support teams of users in on-site monitoring events analysing natural resources. The project introduces the innovative concept of event-driven campaigns with handheld devices, potentially supported by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
AIROBOTS Technology for UASThe main objective of the AIRobots platform design process is to develop aerial prototypes which meet basic engineering principles in terms of expandability and flexibility.ARCAS ApplicationConstructionThe ARCAS project proposes the development and experimental validation of the first cooperative free-flying robot system (UAS) for assembly and structure construction.EC-SAFEMOBIL Technology for UASThis project addresses the development of new estimation/prediction and cooperative control methodologies and their practical application to highly mobile entities such as unmanned aerial systems. The main emphasis of EC-SAFEMOBIL is placed on the preservation of safety and reliability while optimising performance, taking into account uncertainties of sensor data and unreliability of wireless data transmission links. KARYON Technology for UASKARYON addresses the problem of finding robust cruising strategies for autonomous mobile systems as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or smart cars. They are based on information from other vehicles, an estimation of the global system state, and how confident one is about this estimation.SKYMEDIA ApplicationMulti-mediaThe objective of the SkyMedia project is to explore, design, and demonstrate a novel multimedia end-to-end architecture that can provide unique immersive media experiences to audiences during live events. SkyMedia deploys an UAV-based platform as part of its content capturing infrastructure that has a twofold role: first to guarantee an unobtrusive and silent video/image capturing and second to effectively collect and aggregate data from ground sensors.

Addressed primarily the need to control illegal immigration and human trafficking at sea
In line with EU Maritime Policy, contribution to other missions: shipping safety, search and rescue, protection of the marine environment, fisheries monitoring, interception of illegal trade and smuggling arriving by sea.
Aimed in particular at developing key technologies to prepare the future for the operational use of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) and innovative mission aircraft
Taking into account the operational end-user requirements proposes original and innovative technological solutions to increase airborne maritime surveillance efficiency, while reducing costs.
Filling the gap between Piloted Mission Aircraft and UAVs for maritime surveillance, and preparing concepts for using UAVs with remote control mission system operation and combining these with existing maritime surveillance systems.
Partly simulating and partly demonstrating — including a flight demo of a UAV — the concept with end-users feedback, analysed the cost efficiency in support of the feasibility of the concept and reported a road map for further technological activities in this area.

27. AIRBEAM AIRBorne information for Emergency situation Awareness and Monitoring Cost: 15,438, € EC Grant: 9,971, € Coordinator EADS 22 partners 10 countries
A situation awareness toolbox for the management of crisis over wide area, taking benefit of an optimised set of aerial (unmanned) platforms, including satellites.
The number of unmanned air- and space-borne platform available and their associated sensors present a new set of challenges to end users involved in the effective management of emergencies and actions of law enforcement.
The project intends to provide official public users from each Member States the means to specify their own needs and to assess the technical solutions provided by unmanned aerial platforms.
Through collaboration between industrial partners, stakeholders and end users, AIRBEAM will define an ambitious yet realistic concept of use.
By running scenarios that will be properly selected and defined by the end-users within the project in a simulated environment, increased capabilities for situation awareness will be assessed methodically.
Various platform and sensor mixes will be compared using key performance indicators (e.g. cost effectiveness).
Live demonstrations with multiple civil unmanned aerial platforms to complete ground simulation exercises to demonstrate to end users potential and maturity of coordinated use of multiple platforms.

28. ESS / Emergency support system. www. ess-project
ESS / Emergency support system Coordinated by VERINT SYSTEMS LTD Cost : € 14 M EU Contr.: € 9,1 M partners, 9 countries End Date 31/5/2013
The purpose is to enable improved control and management of major crisis events (e.g. natural disasters, industrial accidents, terror attacks etc.)
The idea guiding the development is a portable, modular and autonomous system which fuses in real-time various forms of field-derived data including video, audio, weather measurements, location tracking, radioactivity, biochemical, telecom derived data, affected population reports and other information.
Data is collected and communicated via both portable and fixed platforms including wireless communication devices, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Unmanned Ground System (UGS), air-balloons and field vehicles.
Fusion of data handled within a central system which performs information analysis and provides decision support applications for web based command and control systems, providing flexible, yet comprehensive coverage of the affected area.
Once available to market, the ESS concept will offer real time synchronization and information sharing between first responders and support forces at the site of the incident.
ESS will also enable the commanders to communicate with the affected on-site personnel by sending text (SMS) or recorded voice messages.
