THE IRISH AIR NAVIGATION SERVICE

The HAVEN project aims to demonstrate the next generation of Air Traffic Services (ATS) platform for EN-ROUTE and Terminal Manoeuvring Area (TMA) operations. It involves key industry partners and major European Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), addressing several topics including Artificial Intelligence, open architecture, flexible deployment, and Air Traffic Management (ATM) in the cloud. The project supports concepts like trajectory-based operations, demand capacity balancing, and environmentally friendly operations. It will also consider safety, cyber-security, standardisation, and certification with EASA support. The project is organized into two technological solutions: TS-1 “ATS platform support to advanced operational concepts in EN-ROUTE and TMA” focuses on supporting the operational concepts defined for EN-ROUTE and TMA. These will be defined in other WAs of the SESAR3 IR2 call, such as TBO, DCB, Civil/Military coordination etc. This solution will cover the way that the platform supports these different concepts and they will be prototyped and validated through real time simulations, with human in the loop (with ATC controllers involved). TS-2 “Next generation architecture and deployment architecture for ATS platform” is more technical and linked to the architecture, infrastructure and deployment patterns and intends to cover the impacts of the new service delivery model in the architecture. Transition aspects, as per the new service delivery model recommendation task force, will be studied to clarify how these services can be packaged to allow a smooth transition. Moreover, third parties services interchangability will be validated through a cross-project experimentation, and the benefit from the Cloud-ready platform, going one step further to implement different ways of deployment, taking advantage of the flexibility it offers, will be demonstrated.

The Project encompasses the industrial research aimed to timely and efficiently create and use airspace capacity, in combination with targeted, effective demand and/or capacity measures. As such, it will focus on advanced levels of dynamic airspace configuration, Leveraging different virtualization models, digital INAP applications as well as Network-wide monitoring, all with high levels of automation. The project addresses the R&I need for on-demand air traffic services reflective of traffic demand, and the continuity of ATM service despite disruption. The project exploits the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, to supply a variety of supporting toolsets to ATM stakeholders that enable rapid exploration of options for the deployment of capacity-on-demand solutions, whenever and wherever required. The benefits include increased en-route capacity and improved cost-efficiency of ATS provision, without compromising the current safety levels.
