To significantly advance the following development actions:
- IR-5-03 Highly automated ATM for all airspace users. This includes performance-based CNS enablers (assured navigation for robust ATM/CNS environment for all phases of flight, alternative positioning, navigation and timing (A-PNT), providing enhanced robustness against jamming, spoofing leveraging Galileo, electronic conspicuity, sense and avoid, enhanced distance measuring equipment (eDME), etc.) to facilitate the integration of advanced airborne automation and future ATC platforms, as well as accommodating IAM and interfacing with U-space.
The following list of R&I needs is proposed as an illustration of the potential project content, but it is not meant as prescriptive. Proposals may include other research elements beyond the proposed research elements below if they are justified by their contribution to achieve the expected outcomes of the topic and are fully aligned with the development priorities defined in the European ATM Master Plan.
- Development of on-board non-cooperative sensors in support of detect and avoid (DAA)
This research element covers the development of on-board non-cooperative sensors for crewed and uncrewed aircraft to detect intruders or other obstacles and enable a detect and avoid (DAA) capability (e.g., while flying in airspace with heterogeneous/mixed types of traffic or to detect unauthorised drones in controlled airspace).
