From 1st November 2016 to 31st of December 2019, the members of the project PJ.03b SAFE ‘Safer Airports and Flights for Europe’, all as members of SESAR Joint Undertaking PPP worked and cooperated together to the best of their abilities with a view of implementing SESAR 2020 in a correct, efficient, open and timely manner and of attaining the objectives as envisaged by the European Air Traffic Management Master Plan. The PJ.03b consortium involves key stakeholders of the Airborne Industry, Ground ATM Industry, Service Provision (ATM and Airports), Aerospace Research and EUROCONTROL hence providing a wide range of expertise covering all aspects of European ATM. It comprises 18 Beneficiaries from 10 Member States of the European Union with a total of 30 active organisations when including linked third parties.
The consortium SAFE has defined and validated 4 new Solutions leading to significant improvements in the airport safety for pilots, tower controllers and airport operators. In the frame of the project action, 18 validation exercises (fast time simulations, real time simulations, flight tests) were completed with the participation of numerous experts and end-users such as air traffic controllers, pilots, airport operators and airlines.
Project results:
For each of these Solutions, the expected benefits have been confirmed and the project has delivered a documentation pack which encompasses a set of specifications, a validation report with results and recommendations for next further developments and a Cost Business Analysis. Additionally a contextual note was delivered to the SESAR JU for each Solution. The targeted maturity level of the Solutions is achieved, respectively V2 level for PJ.03b-01 PJ.03b-03 PJ.03b-06 and V3 for the PJ.03b-05 Solution.
In addition to the Solution packs delivery, the project has updated the European ATM architecture to report on its results and contributed to the update of EUROCONTROL and EUROCAE standards in support to the Pilot common project deployment.
In order to promote the Horizon 2020 PJ.03b action and speed up the dissemination of results towards all ATM stakeholders, including the industry, SAFE Project has used social media to communicate, contributed to press articles, published a movie and organized communication events.
