Eurocontrol Taking Steps to Ensure Future ATM Civil-Military Interoperability
Eurocontrol has commenced
workshop discussions, with the support of the European Defense Agency (EDA), on
how to ensure the interoperability of civil and military operations in the
next-generation ATM (air traffic management) envisaged by SESAR (Single European
Sky ATM Research Program).
The workshop's approximately 140 representatives, from a host of civil and military
organizations, concluded that the military needed to be involved in all
processes in order to achieve the interoperability, system integration and
standardization, which are vital to facilitate military operations within SESAR
structures. They also acknowledged the military's need to conduct special
missions, including research and development projects. 12-11-2007. |
