Topic description

ExpectedOutcome:

Project results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes.

Environment. Project results are expected to demonstrate that the proposed solutions would have no negative impact on the environment (i.e. in terms of emissions, noise and/or local air quality) or on the potential improvement of the aviation environmental footprint.
Safety. Project results are expected to maintain at least the same level of safety as the current ATM system.
Security. Project results are expected to maintain at least the same level of security as the current ATM system.

Scope:

The SESAR 3 JU has identified the following innovative research elements that could be used to achieve the expected outcomes. The list is not intended to be prescriptive; proposals for work on areas other than those listed below are welcome, provided they include adequate background and justification to ensure clear traceability with the R&I needs set out in the SRIA for the U-space and UAM flagship.

Development of methodologies for environmental impact assessment of U-space operations. This research will help in developing methodologies and metrics for environmental impact assessment (i.e. in relation to emissions, noise and local air quality) of U-space operations (R&I need: U-space social acceptance aspects).
Evolution of ATM. This element will explore whether U-space can be an accelerator of the ATM innovation life cycle, facilitating faster, lower-risk adoption of new technologies or approaches (automation, AI, internet of things (IoT), cloud, etc.). This could include, for example, the use of U-space communication solutions for air–ground communications on the airport surface (to free up the VHF spectrum for use in the air), adaptation of U-space automation concepts to manned aviation (e.g. advanced automation). In terms of the evolution of ATM, the aim will be to exploit the potential use of U-space technologies and concepts for manned aviation, with a focus on exploring the potential applicability of advanced U-space services to uncontrolled airspace, in particular Class G airspace. Applications to HAOs are also be within the scope of this element (R&I need: transfer of U-space automation technology to ATM).
