Network Trajectory Based Operations 2

Objective

The NETWORK TBO-2 project will validate SESAR Trajectory-Based Operations (TBO) Solutions covering all aspects of trajectory management processes, from planning to execution, with a strong focus on network actors. A transversal activity will develop a SESAR global TBO document, serving as a cornerstone for integrating TBO activities and ensuring global interoperability.

The project will validate four operational solutions, targeting TRL6 by project end:

UDT (Unconstrained Desired Trajectory): addresses the UDT concept from the perspectives of Airspace Users, the Network Manager, and ANSPs, across all flight phases. The UDT represents the “desired optimum” provided by the AU as a reference against which to assess trajectories.

STR (Strategic Trajectory Revision): manages trajectory revisions during the execution phase, contributing to ICAO’s FF-ICE 2 TBO concept.

LOA (Digitalised/Dynamic Letters of Agreement): digitalises and standardises LoAs, enabling interoperable exchange between stakeholders.

TSE (Trajectory Synchronisation in Execution): improves ATC and network processes through synchronisation of local and network trajectories, enhancing exchanges between the Network Manager and ANSPs to enable a reference 4D trajectory supporting coordination.

The NETWORK TBO-2 consortium, coordinated by EUROCONTROL with oversight from the Project Management Board and SJU, gathers 10 ANSPs, 3 airspace users, 13 industry partners (airborne and ground), and 2 research organisations. The project will deliver TRL6 data packs by mid-2029, with major validation exercises in 2028.

Execution will be closely coordinated with European initiatives and ICAO’s ATMRPP working group to ensure complementarity, maximise R&D outcomes, and support future implementation and standardisation.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
