Introduction
The partnership would have never come out
without the SWIM Master Class.
This competition has been very valuable to us in
terms of innovation, partnership and business
opportunities.
It gave birth to an unique application dedicated
to address ATM capacity and aviation
environmental impact.

ATM MET cooperation
ATM high Level objectives adressed by the
Airbus Defence and Space / Luciad solution (as per ATM Master Plan ed. 2015)
– Optimization of the SES by combining 4D trajectory
and airspace reservation (ARES) planning
– Reduction of air traffic impact on the environment
Integration of MET services coming from the
4DWeatherCube in 2015

MET usage in ATM
Today’s business relies on ICAO annex 3 regulated products defined in the 1950’s.
New products coming out from science not fully
integrated into ATM
– Hazardous weather such as icing, convection, clear air turbulence
Sub-optimal use of Weather information– 60% of ATM delays due to meteorological factors
– 43% of accidents occurred during operations in adverse weather (source IATA
safety report 2006).
SESAR MET Solution: the 4DWeatherCube
Two high level objectives
– One stop shop for MET
– Delivers a seamless consistent view of weather for ATM
Additional technical objectives
– SWIM compliance
– Fit-for-purpose MET information
Strong European cooperation (research and IT) through
SESAR WP11.2
– France (MéteoFrance) , Germany (Deutsche Wetterdienst) and United Kingdom (UK
Met Office) under EUMETNET aegis
Consolidation example: nowcasting of
convection
Merging the convection
products from UK,
Germany and France to
have a pan European
product
Erasing and smoothing
the boundaries
Ensuring best MET
information at every point
in space
Translation example: Icing contours
Using ATM units instead of MET units (for example FL instead of hPa)
Converting physical parameters into severity levels
Extracting only useful information (contours instead of gridded data)

Application
4DWeatherCube Services used to optimize trajectories
– CAPS : Collaborative Airspace Provision Service-Application Consume hazardous weather service from 4DWeatherCube
– ConSA : Contrail Service for Aviation Consume temperature and humidity 4D grids from
4DWeatherCube
Airbus Defence and Space / Luciad solution:
CAPS based on SWIM[Collaborative Airspace Provision Service-Application]
The key to success of future SESAR is to manage the 4D trajectory
of all SES- flights in the best possible way.
Optimization of BTs (Business Trajectories) seems to conflict with
static volumes of reserved airspace (ARES).
To flexibly integrate ARES into the SES maintaining optimal network
performance Airbus Defence and Space together with Luciad
developed the CAPS application in the scope of the SWIM Master
Class 2014.
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 the number of conflicts between Business Flights (4D Trajectories) and
reserved portions of airspace (ARES = Airspace Reservation) will increase.
..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 with
minimal impact onto the network
Use Cases– Mission planning (Tactical Training of military Aircraft, Technical Flights, RPAS, etc.)
– What-if analysis (based on Weather Data, Volceuro service, etc.)

Airbus Defence and Space / Luciad solution:
ConSA[Contrail Service for Aviation]
For the SWIM Master Class 2015, AIRBUS Defence and Space
together with Luciad developed a SWIM-based service to support
ATM stakeholders in the effort to reduce aviation’s impact to the Earth’s environment.
Partnership were established with EUMETNET for meteorological
support.
The objective is to reduce forming of contrails as those, whilst
converting into cirrus cloud, cause a net warming effect.
The contrails algorithm has been developed by Dr. Schumann from
DLR.
The solution is in line with SESAR’s prime objective “Reduction of environmental impact by 10% per flight”.
Business Problem..– With an increasing number of flights around the globe the need for environmental
protection will become much more important. Although regulations for contrail generation from aircraft are not in place today the importance of environmental protection has already been recognized word wide.
– ATM stakeholders’ need to considerall aspects of environmental impactwill raise over time. Any possiblereduction of environmentaldisadvantage needs to be evaluatedin future.
..and SWIM-based Solution– ConSA calculates probable forming of
contrails on given weather conditionsprovided there are flights in those areas.
Use cases
– 4D Trajectory planning and management
– ’Environmental’ Awareness for ATM operators
