Evolutions of the Network Management functions (1) The main objectives • Performance driven – high Airspace Users’ involvement in decision making • From airspace-based to trajectory-based operations • Strong Network View on Capacity Management • Dynamic airspace management with enhanced civil/military cooperation • Network Management up to the execution phase • Collaborative process continuously reflected into the Network Operations Plan (NOP) Evolutions in SESAR WP7 and WP13
Towards Time-Based Operations • The objective: • Extending the Network Management to the Execution phase. • The milestones: • Research & Development (SESAR Step 1): 2010 – 2013+ • Deployment in operations: 2013 – 2017+ Towards Trajectory-Based Operations • The objective: • Using the accurate and shared view of the trajectory as common reference to perform Network Management. • The milestones: • Research & Development (SESAR Step 2): 2012 – 2017+ • Deployment in operations: 2018 – 2022+ Evolutions of the Network Management functions (2) Evolutions in SESAR WP7 and WP13
Evolutions of the Network Management functions (3) • Business and Mission Trajectory • User Preferred Routing • Advanced Flexible Use of Airspace • Dynamic Airspace Configuration • Enhanced ATFCM Processes (DCB) • Network Operations Plan Operational Focus Areas: Evolutions in SESAR WP7 and WP13

User Preferred Routing (1) • Routing based on users’ business needs – No fixed route network except for high complexity areas (flight efficiency/capacity trade off). • Dynamic transition from structured area (high complexity traffic) to user preferred routing area (low/medium complexity traffic). • Step 1: Free routing inside Functional Airspace Blocks (FABs) above Flight Level xxx. • Step 2: Pre-defined ATS Routes only when and where required (part of the Airspace Configuration Process) • From 2020: Free routing from TMA exit to TMA entry.
