Increasing operational capacity and safety of the air transport system: the objective is to optimise airspace and airport utilisation in order to reduce flight delays, through an integrated air traffic management system (Single European Sky).The research activities are focusing on on-board and ground communication, navigation and surveillance systems and the introduction of new concepts, including the free-flight concept, in the future European ATM (air traffic management) system.
Les travaux de recherche se centrent sur les systèmes de communication, de navigation et de surveillance à bord et au sol, l'introduction des nouveaux concepts tels que « free light » ou vol sans contrainte dans les système européen d'ATM (Asychronous Transfert Mode/gestion du trafic aérien).
