SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) is a Private Public Partnership funded by EU and EUROCONTROL in 2008. The objective of SESAR is to modernize European ATM by defining, developing and delivering new or improved technologies and procedures. SESAR 2020 Wave 1 & 2 stretches from 2016 until 2024 and SINTEF Digital is expected to take part in approximately 15 projects with an estimated funding of 5 M€.
Towards the end of the SESAR definition phase, SINTEF realized that it would be important to become a member of SESAR to take part in future European ATM research. SINTEF, as the only research organization, partnered with a few industrial companies and established NATMIG with the ambition to become a full member of the first SESAR Programme.
SINTEF carries out contract research in a wide range of scientific and technical areas. The business model spans from basic research with main focus on applied research to commercialization of results into new business ideas.
The other partners of NATMIG was Saab (Sweden), Airtel ANT (Ireland) and Park Air Systems (today; Indra Navia) (Norway). www.NATMIG.eu
The project PJ.09, Digital Network Management Services, aims to improve network traffic predictability and shared complexity representation for all demand capacity balancing (DCB), dynamic airspace configuration (DAC), integrated network management...
SINTEF’s new planning tool for arrivals and departures enables 5.1 per cent increased runway capacity and improves the predictability of flights by 60.8 per cent.
A new software developed by SINTEF makes it more efficient to plan daily airport operations, reducing delays, aircraft idling and recovery time.
The I-CNSS project was dedicated to developing an integrated communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) infrastructure. The aim was to support European and global harmonization of CNS between airlines, air navigation service providers (ANSPs...
SINTEF has developed software to enhance the situational awareness of air traffic controllers (ATCOs) in remote towers. Various automation features and techniques support them by improving their spatial and temporal perception.
The goal of the project is to enhance meteorological information, both measured and forecast, for use in novel air traffic management tools supporting enhanced time based and weather dependent separation modes for airport arrival and departure runway...
The project aims to specify and develop the future technologies coming from the CNS domains in order to support and manage the operational services, like the 4D trajectory management, in the future ATM system.
The project aims to reduce development and operating costs of air navigation service provision.
SESAR 2020 takes an integrated approach to modernising Europe’s air traffic management (ATM), with over 18 projects developing solutions addressing different aspects of system. To ensure that the solutions delivered are interoperable, the programme...
Project PJ 28, A Very Large Demonstration (VLD) project, will demonstrate the benefits that specific promising SESAR solutions will bring in a large and two mid-size airports, where traffic congestion daily takes place during the peak season and...
The project will evolve the existing DCB process to a powerful distributed network management function which takes full advantage of the SESAR layered collaborative planning, trajectory management principles and SWIM technology to improve the...
The project will focus on dynamic airspace configurations (DAC) and dynamic mobile areas (DMA), which enable more flexible response to traffic demand and regional/local performance objectives.
The project proposes the development of a remotely provided aerodrome air traffic service by a "multiple" and/or "centre" setting. Those settings help to combine ATS services from various aerodromes in a centralized control room independent on...
The project is articulated around two SESAR Solutions, emphasising all of the key airport processes. Integration of airports into the ATM network will be addressed through sharing information in a timely manner between the network operations plan and...
The future European ATM system relies on full integration of airports as nodes into the network. In this context, the integrated surface management project (PJ.03a) aims to identify and validate operational and technological solutions aiming at...
EARTH focuses on separation and procedures to improve runway and airport throughput considering wake-vortex, weather, environment and noise, while taking into account future traffic demand, aircraft capability and airport configurations.
