SESAR completes first deliverable!

The projects objective is to address, on the airborne side, the core Controller Pilot Datalink Communications (CPDLC) services required by the more extensive use of datalink expected in the future. The baseline mainly consists in applicable documents (e.g. standards) and identification of any deviation, limitation or additional capability for each solution to be developed and validated.

Work Package Leader - Airbus The future, performance-based European ATM system, as defined in the SESAR ATM Master Plan, foresees greater integration and optimum exploitation of the aircraft. In order to reach this objective a series of Capability Levels have been scheduled. Each Capability Level provides a stepped performance improvement, synchronised across all components (and stakeholders) of the ATM system.WP9 focuses on the aircraft system elements covering the development and validation of the airborne enablers necessary to support the (OIs) Operational Improvements associated with each of the capability levels 2, 3 and 4. WP 9 will aim at: * developing and validating at aircraft level all airborne functions identified in the SESAR ATM Master Plan aircraft Capabilities Levels 2, 3 & 4; * ensuring operational & functional consistency across stakeholder airborne segments (Commercial Aircraft, Business Aviation, General Aviation, Military Aircraft, UAS, etc.); * identifying technical solutions for different airborne platform types such as Mainline aircraft, Regional aircraft and Business Jets; * ensuring global interoperability and coordination with important external initiatives such as NextGen in the U.S.
