Technological and Financial Challenges

1. SESAR AND THE MILITARY Implications of the Single European Sky Implementation on the Military Air Component • Venice, October 28th, 2011 • Cini Foundation Technological and Financial Challenges AleniaAeronautica R&D programs: the Military Airborne Industry perspectives Mr Maurizio Fornaiolo Deputy R&D on New Initiatives

2. Outline • Why military aircraft in SES • Barriers to be overcome • The Military Industry approach in SESAR • A glance to the future outlook

3. Why military aircraft in SES • The SES is a resource for all Users • Capability to accommodate different aircraft into the aerospace is a challenge • More than in the past there is the strong need for military users to fly in GAT • Coexistence and interoperability among military and civil aircraft is a must in peace time operations • The military/civil integration can be a real key-success factor for SES • US Nextgen is considering military aircraft and UAS in (not so far) air traffic • The community requires that the future SES remains a secure and safe airspace • If missing , it can have negative impacts on the future ATM performances Military/State operations Common GAT operations Air policing / defence Peace keeping & support Transport / transit Training Homeland security Others Civil/commercial operations

4. Barriers to be overcome • Cost-benefit analysis seems negative for military Users • Integrate military users in SES means to guarantee a secure aerospace and significantly reduce the impacts on civil aircraft performances • How to quantify these benefits for the community? • In the SESAR definition phase, military CONOPS was partially addressed • difficult to really understand the impact dimension but, • Fortunately, the SESAR JU is covering this gap with the strong support of the military community • Difficult to gather government data for defining the magnitude of the financial impact at European Level • How are European fleets composed and which of them are to be considered as candidates for the modernisation?  actions are necessary • Difficult to understand who does what and who should cover the costs • Fragmentation of stakeholders (e.g. Participating Member States, Eurocontrol, EDA and NATO). SESAR JU needs to be supported  actions are necessary

5. The Military Industry approach in SESAR • For military Users: how to cope with the necessary investments? • Maximize the coexistence and interoperability between civil and military aircraft • (compromise & derogations to be explored) • Assess how the current military aircraft may be • conformed to the new operational concepts • Protect the government investments in specific • military equipment (use of existing ones) • Explore the use of existing low cost COTS • Explore possible key-improvements • The outcomes • Trade-off on existing military/civil • technologies/benefits • Demonstration of benefits to introduce • further improvements at high added value • Put the involved stakeholders in condition • to take decisions for the subsequent steps The concept but Investments are required

6. The Military Industry approach in SESAR (cont) • In concrete, the following SESAR projects in the military industrial domain • Sub-WP 9.3 Mission and Business Trajectory Management interoperability Leader AleniaAeronautica • Sub-WP 9.20 Military Data Link accommodation Leader AleniaAeronautica • Sub-WP 9.24 ADS-B IN/OUT for Military Leader AleniaAeronautica • Sub-WP 15.2.8 Civil-Military Data Link Interoperability Leader SelexElsag  Important Italian Defence Industry commitment on military activities in SESAR

7. The Military Industry approach in SESAR (cont) Mission and Business Trajectory Management interoperability project Capability to share navigation data for business and mission trajectory interoperability 4D ADS-B ADS-B ADS-B IN/OUT for Military project Capability to transmit/ receive a/c data for airborne separation assurance scope 4D Civildatalink Link-16 Military datalink accommodation project Capability to connect military aircraft in ATM Network allowing to share with civil aircraft Trajectory data (ground part) Civil-Military Data Link Interoperability project Capability to connect military aircraft in ATM Network through a ground gateway able to share with civil aircraft only the no sensible data Ground gateway & ATM infrastructure Business Trajectory MissionTrajectory

8. The Military Industry approach in SESAR (cont) • To maximise the usage of limited resources, an integrated approach was adopted:

9. The Military Industry approach in SESAR (cont) • The roadmap:

10. The Military Industry approach in SESAR (cont) • Who is involved (airborne and ground part)? • Interesting and promising results are already available • Feasibility assessment • Initial requirements definition • Data to be shared and formats • Initial in-flight validation is expected for Q3 2013 Eurocontrol Alenia Aeronautica SelexElsag Selex Galileo Thales INDRA Important IT MoD support at National Level (e.g. GFE availability)

11. A glance to the future outlook • In summary: • Thanks to the commitment of SESAR Joint Undertaking on military activities, the availability of industrial capabilities and to the support offered by IT MoD • Some tangible and validated results will be available to the final users and decision-makers • But, if we want that military and civil aircraft interoperability in the future ATM can be a reality, the following additional challenges need to be faced • Based on Military CONOPS, technological gaps are to be identified along with the benefits arise from their adoption • Further platform need to be considered (e.g. UAS) • A political commitment on the investments needed for covering gaps is necessary • Who will be in charge of acquiring these capabilities should also be identified as the reference for European fleets in view of deployment phase
