4 Dimension Contracts - Guidance and Control

Objective

"The 4DCo-GC project aims at exploring the concept of ""4D Contract guidance and control of the aircraft"" as a step change in air transport operations by providing a more radical and environmentally efficient solution for the management of the airspace. Scientific objectives of 4DCo-GC are to:
- model 4D contract concepts (strategic, tactical and emergency levels)
- develop algorithms (strategic, tactical planning), process and functions (failure management, emergency separation, …) needed to use 4D contacts
- define and develop a global tool architecture to demonstrate and analyse the key operating advantages of the 4D contract concept, including the man's role
- elaborate an assessment methodology and metrics to qualify and quantify 4D contract characteristics and performances for the control and guidance of aircraft
- perform a real time assessment of 4D contract concepts of operations
- organize dissemination and demonstration workshops in from of an external audience
- derive from a qualification and quantification work, recommendations for future 4DT system development.
4DCo-GC brings together the expertise of 13 European and associated partners coming from 7 countries, for a total budget of 5.7 M€ and a total requested funding of 4.1 M€. This 36 months duration programme of work is built on the results of several past EU programmes and projects. Main results expected out of 4DCo-GC project are technological components (software/hardware/architectures) and recommendations for future 4D trajectories guidance and control systems, addressing several priorities of ACARE. Regarding the short/middle-term expected evolutions of the European air transport system, 4DCo-GC is fully aligned with the orientation of SESAR, and particularly the so-called ""ATM Target Concept""."

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.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
