SES to achieve…

GOAL

Enabling EU Skies to handle 3x more

traffic Improving Safety by a factor of 10

…total number of ATM-induced

accidents and serious or risk

bearing incidents would not

increase despite traffic

growth

Safety Support Tools for pilots

• Traffic alerts

Detection of risk of collision with other traffic

Runway&taxiway operations

• Conformance monitoring

E.g. Runway unsuitable with the aircraft type, taxi

route deviation

Safety Support Tools for Vehicle Drivers

• Detection of risk of collision with aircraft on

taxiways and runways

Moving map view of the traffic + alerts in case of area

infringement and traffic conflict.

• First evaluations in simulations
