Safety, surveillanceand security are paramount

Airspace must beaccessible to all

ATM integration must be considered

Counter-measuresmust be considered

Airspace must be shared

Operators manage & control their fleet

Airspace must be harmonized

Consistent Dataset

must be available to all users

Flexible, scalable and agnostic architecture
