SDO 1 - Alerts for reduction of collision risks on taxiways and runways

This SDO (Strategic Deployment Objective) aims to prevent collisions on the airport surface under increasing traffic in all weather conditions. It also aims to mitigate the safety issue assessed according to EASA with an elevated priority category ‘undetected occupied runway (SI-2006)’ – to prevent runway incursion by aircraft.In this video, Athanassios Tziolas from EASA explains how SDO 1 helps air traffic controllers detect and prevent potential conflicts, and how it contributes to safer and more resilient airport operations across Europe.
