atm-uspacE iNterface and airSpace reconfigURation sErvice

This project aims to:

• Refine and complete the definition of a common interface and services for U-space and ATM.
• Develop a standardised data model, architecture, and an operational methodology.
• Develop a dynamic airspace configuration service to help ATC actors in charge of airspace reconfigurations to maintain traffic segregation and to avoid proximity between manned and unmanned aircraft within the designated U-space airspace.

Furthermore, the project addresses the topic “ATM – U-space Interface and Services” which is composed of the following solutions:

• Solution 1 ATM – U-space Interface: Achieve full integration of ATM and U-space systems, by refining and completing the definition of the common ATM U-space interface and identifying new working areas with impact on the already started common interface.
• Solution 2 Dynamic Airspace Reconfiguration: Develop the complete service mentioned in U-space regulation, necessary to establish the operating methodology and develop the standard interface to help ATC actors in charge of airspace reconfigurations to request airspace reconfiguration changes.

Ensuring an interoperable and effective interface between unmanned and conventional traffic and air traffic control is critical for the delivery of the future Digital European Sky. This project aims to refine and complete the definition of a common interface and services for U-space and ATM. The project will develop a standardised data model, architecture, and an operational methodology. The project will also develop a dynamic airspace configuration service to help ATC actors in charge of airspace reconfigurations to maintain traffic segregation and to avoid proximity between manned and unmanned aircraft within the designated U-space airspace.
