ENSURE - atm-uspacE iNterface and airSpace reconfigURation sErvice
Overview
Background & policy context:
An interface solution is needed to streamline the data exchange between air traffic management (ATM) systems and drone/unmanned air traffic management (U-space) systems. This involves the creation of a unified interface between the two systems through identification of a core set of initial essential services. The EU-funded ENSURE project is dedicated to improving and finalising the definition of this common ATM U-space interface. Its goal is to pinpoint new areas of operation that affect the established interface and ensure the seamless integration of ATM and U-space systems. The project will also develop a comprehensive service for managing airspace reconfigurations in U-space, which will assist Acceptable Means of Compliance operators to segregate traffic and prevent collisions between manned and unmanned aircraft.
Objectives:
This project aims to refine and complete the definition of the common ATM U-space interface by identifying new working areas with impact and providing a consolidated interface with a standardized data model, architecture and an operation method to achieve a minimum TRL7.
This proposal addresses the topic “ATM – U-space Interface and Services” which is composed of the following solutions:
- Solution 1: ATM - U-space Interface:. Achieve full integration of ATM and U-space systems, by refining and completing the definition of the common ATM U-space interface and identifying new working areas with impact on the already started common interface.
- Solution 2: Dynamic Airspace Reconfiguration: Develop the complete service mentioned in U-space regulation and in their respective Guidance Material (GM) and Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC), necessary to stablish the operating methodology and develop the standard interface to help ATC actors in charge of airspace reconfigurations to maintain traffic segregation and to avoid proximity between manned and unmanned aircraft within the designated U-space airspace.
