Overview
Background & policy context:
The Air Traffic Management (ATM) system is a highly complex and integrated system. For this reason, there is a need to keep track of technical requirements versus the needs of operational processes. The long time frame for development and the international design inputs are key factors that determine the need for tracing the evolution of new system components. One emerging priority is to relate the technical aspects of CNS (Communication, Navigation and Surveillance) to the corresponding high-level requirements at every step of design and implementation, especially as regards economic, environmental and safety issues.
Objectives:
The objectives of TRAFFIC were:
- to define the requirements for CNS subsystems, clearly linked with previous ATM system definition activities;
- to provide a consistent mapping between the most recent operational concepts envisaged for EATMS (European Air Traffic Management System) and the requirements for future CNS subsystems (and for the upgrading of existing CNS subsystems);
- to provide this in an appropriate template with an easy-to-use format;
- to demonstrate the consistency of the results with the various paths for changes towards EATMS.
