Imagine if airplanes still used old walkie-talkies while the rest of the world moved to smartphones and high-speed internet. This project replaces those outdated radio systems with a modern internet-based connection. It ensures pilots and controllers stay connected without drops, even when switching between different network towers, making flights smoother and more eco-friendly.
Current air-to-ground communications rely on outdated, fragmented legacy systems with limited capacity. This leads to poor global coverage and inefficiencies in flight trajectory and environmental optimization.
An IP-based datalink communication solution including a mobility management layer and a next-generation HMI for pilots and controllers.
If you are an airline dealing with inefficient flight paths and old communication gaps — this project developed Green Route Operations that allow for more accurate trajectory prediction and environmentally optimized flight planning.
If you are a service provider dealing with fragmented legacy data links and limited capacity — this project developed a robust service framework for session and mobility management that ensures seamless air-ground communication.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with outdated pilot displays — this project developed a next generation human machine interface (HMI) that processes higher quality data for better pilot-controller interaction.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided.
Yes, the project is designed for the Digital European Sky and uses commercial off-the-shelf equipment to ensure it can be deployed across air traffic control sectors and aircraft domains.
Based on available project data, the specific IP and licensing agreements are not detailed, though the consortium includes 3 industrial partners and 4 universities.
The solution supports the transition from legacy systems like VHF voice and VDL2 to a modern ATN/IPS environment, ensuring interoperability through a new service framework.
The project period runs from 2024-09-01 to 2027-02-28, with outcomes serving as a baseline for future SESAR ATM solutions.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring a 43% industry ratio with 3 industrial partners, including an airline and an air navigation service provider. With 2 SMEs and 4 universities across 5 countries, the group combines academic research with direct operational end-users to ensure the technical solution meets real-world aviation needs.
