2 DLR.de Chart 2 Introduction to SESAR

3 DLR.de Chart 3 Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) Single European Sky is a European Commission initiative (established in November 2000) The Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) programme shall provide the needed future technology Definition phase ( ) ATM master plan for the development and deployment of the next generation of ATM systems Development phase: SEASAR 1 ( ) and SESAR 2020 ( ): Develop new generation of technological systems and components Deployment phase ( ) Implementation of the new air traffic management infrastructure

4 DLR.de Chart 4 SESAR development phase SEASAR 1 and SESAR 2020 SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) SESAR Joint Undertaking - established in 2007 as a public-private partnership PPP High level aims of the programme are: 3-fold increase in capacity which will also reduce delays both on the ground and in the air Improve safety by a factor of 10 Enable a 10% reduction in the effects flights have on the environment Provide ATM services to the airspace users at a cost of at least 50% less SESAR 1 (2008 to 2016) - budget of 2.1 billion SESAR 2020 ( for Wave 1 and for Wave 2) - budget of 1.6 billion

10 DLR.de Chart 10 Example of Contribution Remote Tower

11 DLR.de Chart 11 History of Remote Tower Development

12 DLR.de Chart 12 Remote Tower Core of the idea Cost Savings Cost efficient allocation of staff by relatively small investment Increased Safety Infrared Camera Augmented Vision Video Tracking Hot Spots Research Topics Operational and technical proof of feasibility: Technical Requirements Situational Awareness Usability Acceptance Workload Safety Risk Assessment

13 DLR.de Chart 13 Remote Tower Lab, DLR Braunschweig

14 DLR.de Chart 14 Most recent Field-Test-Platform, DLR Braunschweig

15 DLR.de Chart 15 Remote Tower for Multiple Airports (PJ05) DLR, Frequentis AG, HungaroControl & Selex ES GmbH First worldwide validation exercise for Multiple Remote for three airports. Remote tower laboratory at DLR Braunschweig Real-time human-in-the-loop simulation Single ATCO controls three Airports (Budapest, Debrecen, Papa) Simultaneous traffic of up to 30 movements per hour

16 DLR.de Chart 16 Example of Contribution Sectorless ATM

17 DLR.de Chart 17 History of Sectorless ATM Development LRM 2020 LRM 2020 in HETEREX TeFiS PhD Thesis: Operational Feasibility of sectorless ATM SESAR 2020 DLR basic research: sectorless ATM

18 DLR.de Chart 18 Concept of Sectorless ATM Airspace is not subdivided into geographically separated sectors No sectors in a given airspace at all One ATCO actively controls an aircraft during its complete trajectory from the entry point to the exit point of an airspace Extensive workshops and simulation trials at DLR have shown that one ATCO can control up to six aircraft at a time

19 DLR.de Chart 19 Working position for controlling 6 aircraft at a time C S 6

20 DLR.de Chart 20 Efficiency Number of aircraft or controllers July 16, 2010 Karlsruhe FL245 Aircraft Controllers sectored Controllers sectorless Time (UTC)

21 DLR.de Chart 21 Flight Centric ATC (PJ.10-01b) Advantages of Sectorless ATM Higher efficiency Less handovers Reduced coordination Even workload Uniform training and licenses Easier personnel scheduling New contingency solutions Easy integration of new concepts and separation modes (e.g. RPAS, self-separation) No frequency changes Research Topics CWP design Support systems Priority rules Procedures (handover, coordination, assignment) Safety case Voice communication Applicability for lower airspaces Situation awareness, mental models Special situations (emergency, weather)

22 DLR.de Chart 22 Conclusions Overview of the complex structure of the most important European research programme on ATM research SESAR 2020 Two examples to show how important and inevitable the involvement of research organizations is Remote Tower Sectorless ATM Flight Centric ATC Exploratory Research is driven by research organizations to a large extend Research is bringing in new ideas to contribute to future topics in the Industrial Research part of SESAR 2020
