Expected Outcome:
To significantly advance the following development actions:
- IR-4-01 Next generation airport platform addresses the next generation airport platform fully leveraging aircraft capabilities. This includes supporting the data-sharing service delivery model, interconnected with other airports and their 3rd parties (e.g. ground handlers), ANSPs, NM, CNS/MET as a service, etc., facilitating the accommodation of IAM, the interface with U-space as well as specific needs from the military.
- IR-4-02 Artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities enabling the next generation of airport platforms.
- IR-4-03 Cyber-resilience and cyber-security capabilities enabling the next generation of airport platforms.
- IR-4-04 Airport solutions for reducing environmental impact operations. This includes sustainable taxi related concepts, environmental performance dashboards, etc.
- IR-4-05 Future human - machine teaming.
- IR-4-06 Optimisation of runway throughput.
- IR-1-01 Integrated air/ground trajectory management based on ATS-B2 including the extension for lower airspace and airport surface.
This includes advancing the capabilities of the following systems:
- Ground systems: core ATS platform for airport operations.
Research aims at developing the next generation of airport platforms, considering state-of-the-art ground technologies while leveraging innovative solutions and new aircraft capabilities aiming to achieve level 4 of automation as outlined in the Master Plan and by considering a trustworthy AI approach. The targeted airport platforms shall enable the following capabilities:
- Ensuring that all flights/missions (crewed
