3. Challenges of air transport in Europe

4. Four main axes

5. -1- EU leading player in International Aviation

6. -2- Tackling limits to growth

7. -3- Maintaining high level of EU standards

8. -4- Innovation and Digital technologies - Drones

9. From Strategy to reality

11. European ATM Masterplan
Para Improved ANS operations productivity:
The improvement of ANS productivity is made possible in particular through the development and implementation of automation, reducing air traffic controllers’ (ATCOs) need for intervention.
This is achieved through improved planning, supported by planning and conflict resolution tools, as well as temporary delegation of separation to the aircraft. The automation of routine tasks and wide introduction of data communication will also allow ATCOs to concentrate on value-added tasks, thereby handling more traffic in a safer way and improving their productivity.
1.5 x growth
RISKS
1. The R & D Programme does not deliver solutions that are ready for preparation for deployment.
3. Ineffective bridging between development and deployment activities may put industrialisation at risk and delay deployment.
7. Governance structure is not capable of ensuring successful deployment.
8. Deployment of SESAR Solutions leads to unaddressed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. 

12. Get ready for the future ! Virtualisation - ATM Cloud Services

13. How close by is this all ?

14. It is getting more and more busy up there
Need for ATM to evolve and adapt
10-100s
Core STM?
10.000s s
Core ATM s
Core UTM?
Global estimates

15. What we see today in Europe
Drones are a ‘hot’ topic (read disruptive)
Very regular VLOS operations
BVLOS increasingly happening
Up to 100KM
Segregated & Non-Segregated
More coming soon
Urban operations are happening too
Mostly VLOS, some BVLOS
Under well ‘controlled’ circumstances
Politicians, regulators, service providers, industry, … finding their way

16. EU Drones ecosystem – U-SPACE
Core objective
Deliver drones specific update proposal for the European ATM Master Plan (~10 pager addendum) leading to formal blessing at institutional & industry level by end of 2017
Key tasks
Deliver vision for safe integration of drones
Prioritized operational & deployment view (incl. standardisation & regulatory roadmap)
Business view
Risk Management
Timeline
April: blueprint on U-Space (3 pages)
October: final addendum (10 pages)
2019 implementation
Leveraging EU-US MoC

17. Some more challenges
ICAO 39th
MBM
ETS adaptation

18. Final words
From Strategy to Reality Huge Challenges & Opportunities Together we can make things happen
