Project Designed To Modernize European Air Traffic Management
The SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) and the SESAR Deployment Manager (SDM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding during the World ATM Congress 2015 in Madrid. This agreement will provide a platform on which to build cooperation for the smooth and timely delivery and deployment of SESAR Solutions to the ATM community.
“SESAR is a collaborative project to modernize European ATM and deliver the performance that Europe’s aviation needs in order to stay competitive globally,” said Massimo Garbini, Managing Director, SESAR Deployment Manager
“This agreement underlines the spirit and determination of both our organizations to deliver a modernized ATM system in Europe. This will ensure that on a daily basis our activities stay aligned and focused on the common SESAR vision,” said Florian Guillermet, Executive Director of the SESAR Joint Undertaking.
The Memorandum of Understanding has several guiding principles, based on both organisations developing synergies where possible and endeavoring to be complementary to each other’s activities. This will involve the mutual and timely sharing of information for effective operations and communications, and the harnessing existing cooperation mechanisms. Above all, a critical factor for success will be the exchange of information to support the industrialisation phase, to ensure effective bridging between R&D and deployment and to facilitate interoperability.
With a budget of EUR 3 billion (approx $3.23 billion), the SESAR Deployment Manager will now ramp up its activities and to deploy SESAR Solutions. Meanwhile, the SESAR Joint Undertaking will complete its first phase of R&D, while also preparing for a new wave of projects under SESAR 2020, in the second half of 2015. This year will also see a new edition of the European ATM Master Plan and the creation of a deployment program, providing guidance to ATM stakeholders on future investments.
