Project of the Month: FARO:Shining a light on resilience and safety in air traffic management
|
It is perhaps fitting that SESAR JU partners chose the Spanish word for lighthouse, FARO, as the name for their project. As Christian Verdonk Gallego, FARO Project Manager from CRIDA, explains, the project is hoping to shine a light on how changes in air traffic management systems can impact safety and resilience.

Call launched for series of pilot Digital Sky Demonstrators
|
The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has launched a new call under the Connecting Europe Facility, containing provisions for a series of pilot SESAR JU Digital European Sky Demonstrators in the areas of green aviation and urban air mobility, two areas covered by our Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). The demonstrators are a key tool to support the SESAR JU’s vision of delivering the Digital European Sky.

SESAR JU DACUS project keeps an ear to the ground about urban air mobility
|
With the emergence of operations in low-level airspace comes the need to address society’s attitudes, expectations and concerns to this new type of air traffic. To that end, the SESAR JU DACUS project conducted a survey in 2020-21 to gain a better understanding of public perceptions. The survey results reveal a relatively positive attitude by respondents but some concerns were also flagged up..

Transforming concepts into prototypes: the SESAR JU DYNCAT project’s innovation story
|
How do you go from having a great idea and concept to producing something that is tangible and beneficial for air traffic operations? That is a question that the SESAR JU DYNCAT is seeking to answer through its work to develop more environmentally sustainable operations in the terminal manoeuvring area (TMA). In this Q&A, DYNCAT’s work package 3 leader, Johan Boyer from Thales, describes what it takes to build specific prototypical functionalities for aircraft systems from a conceptual idea.
