5. Key points
Cooperative: AP23 has a global approach for ASAS use in SESAR& NextGen visions
Local needs may vary but
We need a common framework to build towards interoperability
Pragmatic: AP23 did think “implementation” since day 1
Learned from AP1 and RFG experience
Target the next avionics package supporting ASEP&SSEP
Think implementation from the beginning
Make it simple and modular so the entire community can contribute
Tangible: AP23 contributions are already being used
