13.15 -14.15  NATO

Title: Airspace- A Scarce and Shared Resource

Speaker(s): 
Dr Giorgio Cioni, NATO,  Director Armaments and Aerospace Capabilities Directorate
Michael Callender, NATO, Head of Aerospace Capabilities Section- Moderator
Sven Halle, ICAO, EU/NAT Office
Brig.Gen. Luca Baione, Italian Air Force
MGen Karsten Stoye, EUROCONTROL
Giancarlo Buono, IATA


 Abstract: NATO must be able to conduct the full range of air operations in a complex civil-military environment by “training as you fight” and adapt to the rapidly evolving reality of security and defence.  

To ensure the availability of national forces and capabilities for the full range of Alliance missions, Allies require an appropriate level of airborne and ground equipment as well as the appropriate airspace structure during peacetime, crisis and conflict. ATM and CNS systems are key enablers to achieve this level of ambition.  

As civil and military stakeholders share a continuum scarce resource such as airspace, mutual reliance and interdependencies bring different types of challenges for security and defence needs, while accommodating commercial demands. This becomes even more challenging in a new era of automation and digitalisation. 

Join our distinguished panellists in a hard talk on Airspace - A Scarce and Shared Resource!

15.35 - 16.00  EGIS Title: Does it fly? A framework for assessing the sustainability of proposed capital investments

Speaker(s): 
Maja Marciniak, Egis
 Abstract: The importance of taking action to address climate change is increasingly acknowledged by citizens, governments, regulators and the aviation industry. In the EU, the Green Deal provides a set of ambitious policies leading into legislation. With many ideas and innovations for more sustainable aviation coming to the table, in what ways can we assess (and show) how a proposed investment supports those ambitions? And what about other investments that don’t actively target sustainability … how can we ensure that they will not be detrimental to environmental performance?  

In this presentation, Egis’ Maja Marciniak presents a framework that internal decision-makers can use to ensure that investments taken forward adequately contribute to overall environmental ambitions. The framework offers full flexibility to adapt to varying environmental KPIs and can effectively contribute to the decarbonisation of aviation.
16.10- 16.35   ONESKY Title: How to Operationalize UTM Ecosystems

Speaker(s): 
Michael Hoodspith, OneSky
 Abstract: UTM and U-Space systems are moving beyond the test phase and into operations in many places around the world. The capability is solving near term problems, like remotely identifying drones and their operators, and enabling strategic deconfliction between drones that are largely flying without the aid of surveillance systems. In this presentation we look at the key pieces of infrastructure that need to be in place to solve these core objectives and the integration that is critical to integrating these capabilities into traditional ATM systems.

The UTM architecture includes many modular capabilities and stakeholders. It can be difficult to know what’s necessary for a UTM system that can scale over time. OneSky has deployed many UTM systems across four continents. We have the most deployment experience of any UTM company and will use this opportunity to share our expertise on the challenges of deploying an operational solution, and the added complexities that need to be considered.

10.05 – 10.30  INGENAV

Title: ATM-ORATs -  Operational Readiness and Transitions 

Speaker:
Maximilian Bezzina, Ingenav

Abstract: Changes bring opportunities but they also bring risks. In safety and time critical environments, these risks, if unmanaged, can have very serious consequences. 

Operational Readiness and Transition (ORAT) is a methodology that provides a framework for managing the risk that changes bring with it, be it due to changes in facilities, configuration or procedures. This methodology also aims at harnessing the opportunities that changes bring. ORAT is a methodology highly used in changes affecting airport operations. It can equally be applied to other changes in the aviation industry such as those affecting Air Navigation Services.

An ORAT is used mainly because it:
• Ensures smooth start / transition of operations.
• Provides controlled and managed planning, preparation and execution of operational readiness processes.
• Integrates all stakeholders (ANSP management and staff), airport operations, regulation and certification, airlines, handling, etc.)  
• Ensures buy-in and safe and efficient process

At INGENAV we are confident that when a big change will happen, an ORAT is a key element for a successful transition into the new operation environment.

We base this on our knowledge and in our experience of previous projects where with the use of ORAT, successful implementations have taken place.

In this presentation Max Bezzina will share with you the experience we have gathered.

TitleCivil-Military ATM/ANS Cooperation in a changing European Security Environment

Speakers: 
Karsten Stoye, EUROCONTROL
Antonio Nogueras, EUROCONTROL
Eric Billard, EUROCONTROL
Jorge Pereira, EUROCONTROL

Abstract: The Russian attack on Ukraine shows that armed conflicts are still possible threats to our freedom and democratic values, requiring joint military and civil efforts to defend in what we believe.

This new political situation in Europe will require adaptations in related areas of civil-military cooperation.
Therefore, balanced considerations between commercial aviation and security and defence must shift more weight towards security and defence needs to ensure that national air forces can deploy assets throughout Europe in all-weather conditions on short notice, which is paramount to establish and maintain a military readiness posture for deterrence and defence of Europe.
It must be ensured that the military can execute all aspects of their aerial missions, while at the same time civil flight efficiency and sustainability are enhanced with measures like:
• Enhancing processes and procedures for military training and exercise coordination with new ideas to provide ARES that enables the growing 5th generation fighter fleet in Europe to exploit their full capabilities;
• Providing enhanced processes and procedures for rapid deployment of military aerial forces with the seamless implementation of the iOAT Flight Plan across ECAC; 
• Developing processes and procedures for civil-military coordination in crisis and conflict by establishing a permanent network at EUROCONTROL level, securely connecting all relevant actors from States, NATO and EU, including secure exchange of data between civil and military, which will protect military data and shared only on a “need to know” basis.
• Establishing a sufficiently resilient and redundant CNS Minimum Operational Network (MON) for Europe that will accommodate military and civil needs;
• Improving the civil use of airspace released by the military to reduce flight distance.
