Overview
Background & policy context:
Air traffic in Europe and internationally is growing rapidly. To avoid congestion problems and reduced operational efficiency, the European Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems are being developed, co-ordinated and integrated. This includes short-term actions as well as the development of technologies for the longer term. For the latter, a need had been identified to prioritise future RTD activities for Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) technologies in support of future ATM concepts, covering the period to 2015.
Objectives:
The objectives of EMERALD were to:
- identify the emerging CNS RTD activities which will have an impact on concept definition for a future European Air Traffic Management System (EATMS) and which should, as a consequence, be integrated into the strategic investment plans of the European stakeholders in civil aviation and ATM;
- make recommendations concerning a realistic deployment of future CNS systems in support of EATMS.
