Extended scope to expand into more complex mode of operations, taking into account:
the latest SESAR results + other available research/validation results
gained implementation and operational experiences on single mode
initial consideration of multiple mode
adoption of industry standards (EUROCAE ED-240, ED-240A)
Activity will be continued - RMT.0624 maintained in EPAS with amended ToR (Q4 2019)
RMG work to be started in Q1 2020
