Programme Status ECTL AAB February 2012

FACTS  A mature approach: 2500 contributors Release process organises the delivery cycle ATM Engineering: System of Systems approach and link with Performance requirements  Wide stakeholder support: 200 experts from Airspace Users International Validation Team of 65 staff representatives 7 National Authorities and EASA involved in the work 80 Military experts from 8 nations (through ECTL) Scientific Committee provides oversight on academic/long term research  The SESAR family is enlarging

NEW SESAR ASSOCIATES Associate members Associate Partners  15 SMEs, 4 Research Centers, 18 Universities

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS 1/3  22 Exercises of Release 1 completed out of 23 ACAS Improvement & Link with auto pilot Departure panel for small-medium size airports’ Controller Working Position: Single Remote tower operations Extended AMAN & integration with DMAN Full PRNAV in complex TMA Short Term ATCFM Measures live trial: -EUROCONTROL (CFMU),London, Maastricht, Reims FMPs, 11 aircraft operators -Measures implemented on OPS systems short time before take off: FL capping, route modifications First 4D Flight on 10/02/12!

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS 2/3  Release 2 content defined: Airport safety & efficiency: detection of conflicting ATC clearances for Runway controller, routing of aircraft and vehicles through data link Trajectory management: synchronisation of airborne and ground flight profiles through i4D data exchange, improved ATC Trajectory prediction using AOC data ATC operations en-route: multi-sector planner tools, roles & responsibilities, streaming techniques using extended horizon of the arrival manager ATC operations airport: time Based Separation minima for tower Controllers, provision of ATC Services on a single airport from a single remote site Network Management: automation of slot swapping on CDM airports, improved ATFCM measures based on real time airspace use

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS 3/3  Launch of WP 11.1 (Flight/Wing Operations Centres) technical activities  Launch of the Master Plan update, with a view to finalise before summer 2012, for formal adoption (EU+ECTL) before end 2012  Long Term research activities are starting to deliver  Launch of EU-US MoC activities

RESSOURCES  The effort consumption is 10-15% below the plan, following the forecasted trend and reaching the “cruise level” in  The SJU is constantly monitoring the situation with its partners, and systematically working on improvements and rationalisation

QUALITY  Quality is ensured through SJU assessment of deliverables as well as through projects internal quality process  Overall the quality is improving and the effort made by projects becomes visible during the gates

PROGRESS  Some projects face difficulties in delivering timely results.  The % complete continued to increase over 2011  Deliverables on the critical path (ops requirements) are systematically identified and project members are ‘assisted’ where required  However Release 1 schedule was on track

RISKS  The SWIM action plan is progressing slower than expected and SWIM prototyping and validation activities remain at risk  Transversal activities need to find the proper balance between methodology and delivering results  The number of validation activities identified for the period is above the resources available (platforms, staffing…), hence the need for a more robust top down approach  Critical dependencies need to be constantly monitored

FORECAST NEXT PERIOD  Release 1 final report in April 2012  Release 2 activities delivery  Demonstration activities (on-going call, deadline: 07 March 2012) start in summer 2012  Participation in ACARE (chairmanship of ‘Mobility’ working group)  Further develop the interactions with EASA and National Authorities.  Launch of work on integration of UAS in the SESAR concept of operations scenarios
