Business Problem & Solution

Business Problem..– With an increasing number of flights following the rules of Free Route Airspace in the 

Single European Sky, the available airspace becomes more and more occupied.

– Naturally an increasing number of conflicts between Business Flights (4D Trajectories) and reserved portions of airspace (ARES = Airspace Reservation) will occur.

..and SWIM‐based Solution– CAPS based on SWIM  searches for a reservable airspace, optimally suiting the 

Airspace Users’ needs.

– On‐the‐fly calculated conflict detection to assisst users in proposal of  ARES withminimal impact onto the network

Use Cases– Mission planning (Tactical Training of military Aircraft, Technical Flights, RPAS, etc.)– What‐if analysis (based on Weather Data, Vulcano‐Activity Information, etc.)

Benefits– Support SESAR concepts, by

• smoothly combining 4D‐Trajectory‐ with ARES‐planning

• providing improved transparency,  better situational awareness and enhanced efficiency

– Supporting SWIM‐based collaborative coordinating processess in ATM

– Fast development using flexible components

– Solution built on open standards

Next Steps– Evaluation of other SWIM services – could they add reasonable information and/or 

functionality to CAPS based on SWIM?

– Evaluation of enhancement by adding stereoscopic 3D view
