If you are an aircraft manufacturer dealing with fragmented flight data across different borders — this project developed a shared CNS data platform that allows for better aircraft performance monitoring and post-flight analysis.
Cloud-Based Data Sharing Platform for Air Traffic Management and Aviation Services
Imagine if all the different air traffic control towers shared one giant, secure digital library of flight and sensor data. Instead of every company building its own expensive tracking system, they can just plug into this shared service. It's like moving from having a private map for every driver to using a real-time, shared GPS network for the entire sky.
What needed solving
Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) often hold critical data in silos, making it expensive and difficult for other aviation players to access real-time surveillance and navigation info.
What was built
A shared CNS data services platform including software modules for surveillance tracking and GNSS monitoring. It includes defined APIs and data exchange protocols.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a drone operator dealing with airspace congestion and safety risks — this project developed a data service provision that integrates UTM data to ensure safer flight paths and better coordination.
If you are an airport authority dealing with inefficient ground and approach traffic flow — this project developed multisensor surveillance tracking services that provide a more accurate picture of aircraft movements.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for using this platform?
Based on available project data, the project is currently assessing the overall business model and business canvas, but specific pricing is not yet disclosed.
Is this solution ready for industrial scale deployment?
The project is in the demonstration phase with software modules developed and a surveillance tracker planned for deployment, indicating it is moving toward industrial scale.
Who owns the IP and how is licensing handled?
Based on available project data, the project addresses data governance and regulatory aspects, but specific licensing terms for the software modules are not provided.
How does this integrate with existing air traffic systems?
It uses specified data exchange protocols, formats, and APIs to connect the central platform with input data providers and service clients.
What is the timeline for full availability?
The project period runs from 2023-09-01 to 2026-08-31, with technical reviews already successfully passed as of April 2024.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 78% industry ratio, consisting of 7 industrial partners across 5 countries. This high concentration of commercial entities, led by the European Satellite Services Provider, suggests the project is focused on commercial viability and practical application rather than theoretical research.
