Project description
Innovative weather forecasting for aviation using artificial intelligence
The aviation industry and its clients have suffered from the progressively dangerous shifts in weather patterns and phenomena attributed to climate change. Enhancing weather forecasting precision and efficiency is vital for safeguarding the aviation sector. The EU-funded KAIROS project aims to harness artificial intelligence and draw from the SESAR exploratory research project’s insights, as well as various weather forecast platforms and tools. Their goal is to create an innovative solution that can deliver more precise weather forecasts well in advance. This advancement would significantly enhance demand management and airspace use, allowing stakeholders and aviation professionals to implement novel strategies and enhance cost-efficiency.
Objective
KAIROS will improve the quality of meteorological information provided to the aviation community through the use of artificial intelligence. By producing accurate digital weather forecasts at longer lead times, aviation stakeholders will be bettered position to mitigate the impacts of weather on their operations. KAIROS will mature the TRL of results from previous SESAR Exploratory Research projects, with the goal of reaching TRL 7 through the completion of operational demonstrations. The project will integrate live weather information from AI forecasts with existing decision support tools and platforms to assess the operational benefits to several end-users. The KAIROS solution will enable a paradigm shift in the management of demand capacity balancing at all levels of the European airspace system including network level, local FMP, and UAM. KAIROS AI-based weather forecasts are intended to be an enabling technology that will unlock operational efficiencies and the automation of planning activities within the airspace system. By providing accurate weather forecasts earlier in the air traffic flow management process, aviation stakeholders including ANSPs, airports, and airlines will be able to formulate strategies to minimize the disruption to their operations.
