ATM application-oriented Research for Connected and Automated ATM

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 connected and automated ATM flagship.

• Evolution of flight-rule concepts, separation management service concepts and airspace classification. This element covers the potential evolution of responsibility for separation provision in an environment where advanced detect and avoid (DAA) and electronic conspicuity systems are fitted to all participating traffic. Research should cover, individually and collectively, the role of the separator and the mode of separation provision; the need for and possible updates to or renewal of the airspace classification system; the definition and potential renewal
