Blocks 2 and 3 Block 0 Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 (2013) (2018) (2023) Performance Improvement Areas Block 0 (2013) Block 1 (2018) Block 2 (2023) Block 3 (2028 & >) Airport Operations Globally Interoperable Systems and Data Optimum Capacity and Flexible Flights Efficient Flight Path Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

Longer-term Objective: High Performance 4 Main Performance improvement areas Airport operations Globally interoperable systems & data Optimum capacity & flexible flights Efficient flight path … increasingly interrelated as ATM is closer to optimum functioning when getting closer to optimum in a complex system, most of the modules in fact impact several performance areas, or apply more and more to all flight phases, especially when considering the trajectory, a continuous object by nature Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12 Block Maturity Lifecycle Planning Decisions B3 2028+ based on business case and validation results as developed during the previous phase B2 2023 B1 SIMPLIFIED LIFECYCLE V0 Identification of Needs V1 V1 Concept Definition B0 V2 V2 Feasibility R&D V3 V3 Pre-Industrial Development and Integration - V4 V4 Industrialisation Implementation Decision V5 V5 Deployment Decision V6 V6 Operations Operations B2/3 are important to be timely ready. This is also true for Block 1. Adding the different phases justifies why V1 and V2 may need be started now for B3, and why ICAO work may or may not be urgent/intense on some topics. There is unfortunately no universal duration and it is premature in the TT work to have a more precise plan V7 V7 Decommissioning Decision Decision Standardisation activities IOC Initial Operational Capability B2: from 2023 B3: from 2028 & beyond Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12 4

3 Essential Considerations in the Global ATM Operational Concept The network of actors & assets The flight trajectory over time Measured business performance Network Trajectory Performance Informed decisions taken collaboratively on early and accurate information Partnership – Interoperability SWIM and data comm. are cornerstones Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12 5

International Technical Challenges To ensure interoperability, in particular Common time reference New flight plan / flight object (FF-ICE) 4D Trajectory exchange format Information Management (data models, quality of service requirements, sharing rules, distribution process) D/L applications for trajectory data exchange Procedures for delegation ATC/Pilots Time based separations New wake vortex separations based on time Participation of all airspace users Ops changes cannot materialise if not properly supported by the enabling technologies In red, issues solved by previous blocks. Will require new ICAO material and industry standards Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12 6

Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12 Global Perspective Global traffic development spreads the same issues globally -> We need global standards/interoperability, and not wait too long for that -> Too many intermediate steps/standards make evolution more difficult Deployment where and when needed, but based on common principles/rules/data & interoperable technologies -> One size does not fit all -> B2/3 implementation decisions not required now! Importance of MOCs, of demonstrations made in different operating environments, anticipating on deployment conditions Cooperation early in life cycle is more efficient -> Among programmes, within/across regions, with ICAO -> On requirements, R&D activities Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12 7

Challenges - How to Get There? Technical evolution towards Global ATM Concept Multi-facility (ATC, aircraft, airport) consistency Network-wide effects increase interdependence & sensitivity of solutions to local situations & perturbations Increased cooperation within regions to optimise synchronised deployments Inter-regional flights & cooperation as cement Particular care to non-nominal situations upstream in the work Need for interoperability / new standards Validate, demonstrate, standardise Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12 16

Challenges - How to Get There? Ensure timely success of B0 & B1 As success story of an unprecedented global effort As preparatory/initial steps (not requiring implementation of all modules) To ensure availability of resources Agree on the way ahead and research programme No implementation decision now!
