The operational concept of a flexible allocation of aerodromes to different MRTM´s in solution PJ.05-W2-35 was validated in eight exercises using Real Time Simulations and a Shadow Mode trial on different validation platforms. Different characteristics on weather, traffic and airport layouts were covered. End results were a consolidated report on validation results as well as on Human Performance and Safety.
In solution PJ.05-W2-97.1 the technical feasibility of the concept has been investigated through a set of technical validation exercises in different Airport operating environments with different layout complexity, traffic volumes and meteorological conditions. The use of the glasses was shown to be beneficial to safety at night or in LVC, provided that the surveillance data feed is reliable, without data dropout and tag jumps.
In the frame of Solution PJ.05-W2-97.2 ASR applications for ATC Tower have been validated through a set of three technical exercises by INDRA in Asker, by DLR at Braunschweig simulating a multiple remote airport controller working position and by LEONARDO at Rome, all proving the technical feasibility of the ASR technology to capture Aerodrome ATC instructions and clearances transmitted by radio to flight crews and to use them to automate ATC system inputs.
For all three solutions communication, dissemination and exploitation of results have been fostered to ensure awareness amongst the Air Transport community, through: a dedicated website (www.remote-tower.eu) a number of presentations organised in the frame of SESAR Academy webinars or ATM global community events (e.g. at World ATM Congress, ICNS, NextGen Tech Talk Speaker Series), videos, workshops (with NSA, PSO), Open Days, papers, Press Releases, Exhibits, Articles/Interviews and a Final Event.
