SCAN: Reviewing, Adapting and Developing CNS Infrastructure and Services to Ensure the Safe Integration of HAO And STO Vehicles

Objective

In the context of integrating Space and Higher Altitude Operations in European ATM, there is a need to evaluate and mitigate the potential performance gap between current CNS and HAO specific requirements. Moreover, it has been established that altimetry solutions based on barometric measurements are not reliable for safe operations above FL 600. It is therefore needed to identify non-barometric altimetry solutions compatible with HAO.

SCAN will build on the outcome of CNS infrastructure studies and flight trials currently ongoing in the ECHO2 project and will move forward with the ambition to:
a. Propose a set of feasible technical components and services to serve the CNS needs for diverse vehicles operating in the higher airspace within Europe and beyond;
b. Engage with airspace users (conventional aviation and HAO operators), ANSPs, industry and aviation authorities to align expectations on benefits and operational acceptability of the proposed CNS solutions or new paradigms for air traffic management.
c. Support a clear path forward for future CNS developments, including standardisation and regulatory framework evolution to support the European pioneer initiatives on HAO.
