Imagine if air traffic control worked like a cloud service instead of being tied to a specific building. This project moves the software that manages planes into a virtual space, allowing different countries to share or hand over control of their skies more easily. It is like upgrading a physical filing system to a shared digital drive that everyone can access securely from anywhere.
Air traffic management is currently tied to physical infrastructure, making it rigid and expensive to scale. This creates inefficiencies when delegating airspace control between different national service providers.
A virtual centre architecture and a prototype for airspace delegation. It includes updated middleware, PaaS integration, and evolved HMI and recording systems.
If you are an ANSP dealing with rigid, hardware-dependent control centers — this project developed a virtual centre architecture that decouples service provision from physical infrastructure. This allows for better scalability and resilience in managing airspace.
If you are an ADSP dealing with the difficulty of integrating services across different national borders — this project developed a Platform as a Service (PaaS) model. This enables the delegation of ATM services between two different units seamlessly.
If you are a software vendor dealing with outdated human-machine interfaces and recording systems — this project developed evolutions in supervision, HMI, and recording. This ensures your tools align with the European ATM Master Plan.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost details are provided; the project focuses on technical evolution and architecture.
Yes, the project aims to benefit over half of the European territory through the iTEC Alliance and provides standards for other countries to follow.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project is coordinated by Indra Sistemas SA with 8 partners.
It uses middleware and communications evolution to integrate into a Platform as a Service (PaaS) environment, decoupling services from physical infrastructure.
The project period is from 2023-04-01 to 2026-03-31, with current work focusing on prototype development and validation exercises.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with 4 industrial partners (50% ratio) and 2 research entities, indicating a strong push toward commercial application. Led by Indra Sistemas SA, a major Spanish player, the group spans 6 European countries, ensuring the resulting standards are applicable across diverse regulatory environments in the EU.
