Overview
The Action develops and deploys a prototype to demonstrate that Air Traffic Management (ATM) data can be provided as a service by one distributed ATM System to one or more civil Air Traffic Service Units.
The Action will study how an existing IT infrastructure has to be modified to become a ‘state-of-the-art’ IT infrastructure from which an ATM Data Service provider (ADSP) can deliver services with proper contingency and disaster recovery and will determine the impact of this development for main ATM systems.
The Action is complementary to ongoing SESAR work where Common Services and CWP/Services are being studied. The Action can be used at European level to consider – based on a real case developed by different Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) – the technical feasibility and benefits of a Virtual Centre or ATM data ‘as a service’ to defragment the ATM system.
