The future Single European Sky
Single European Sky � initiative for the
modernization of the
European airspace
Rationale
• Fragmentation of the airspace
• Absence of common standards
22
• Absence of common standards
• Obsolescence of current ATM infrastructure/assets
• Air Traffic Increase forecast
Features of the new system
• Ability to accommodate more air traffic flow
• Guarantee an adequate environmental sustainability
• Increase the safety
• Reduce the air traffic management costs
Fragmentation of the airspace
33
The Airspace: a resource for different users
Different users with
different needs in terms of
operations and
systems/technologies.
Airliners
Business Aviation
General Aviation
44
The challenge is to
accomodate the aircraft
diversity with a limited
impact to the overall
system performance.
General Aviation
Military Aircraft
Unmanned Aircraft
Rotorcraft
The aircraft diversity is expected to increase in the future years (unmanned).
Design Goals for scalable future capability:
� Capacity: handle 3 times traffic

SESAR is
the technological arm of SES
Definition Phase (2004-2007) has
defined the ATM target concept
including the different operational
and technological steps to be taken,
the priorities in the modernisation
programmes and the operational
implementation plans.
� done
The SESAR approach
66
Development Phase (2007-2016), will: develop and validate new ATM operational
concepts and procedures in accordance with the ATM master plan; develop and
validate new equipment, systems and/or standards ensuring a convergence towards
a single ATM system in Europe and globally interoperable.
The Deployment Phase (2014-2020) will consist in the large scale production and
implementation of the new European ATM infrastructure at high performance

• Alenia Aermacchi is participating to the SESAR development phase since its
beginning.
• Alenia is active in several areas of the project but the focus in on the integration of
the SESAR solutions on regional and military aircraft.

The future
� In the future years, UAS will contribute to increase the aircraft diversity.
� No regulations exist for UAS � they can only fly in a segregated airspace.
� Regulations
� Operational Aspects
� Technological gaps
Complementary Measures
1010
� Complementary Measures
� RPAS are a great opportunity for Europe, the European Commission is
highly committed on the matter, i.e. to allow RPAS to fly in a non-
segregated airspace.
� In the “SESAR extension” the RPAS insertion will be a topic where the
European Industry will have to focus their effort.
� The Single European Sky is a great opportunity for the community in Europe
� The EC recognizes the important success of SESAR in terms of results and is
pushing for an extension of the programme to achieve the ATM master plan
targets
� The challenge to cope with the airspace users diversity inside of the SES is
Conclusions
1111
� The challenge to cope with the airspace users diversity inside of the SES is
perceived as a crucial factor for SES success
� More effort is needed to explore technologies and solutions for military,
general and rotorcraft aviations, within and outside of SJU (e.g. EDA)
� Adequate effort need to be allocated inside and outside SESAR extension
(e.g. EDA, ESA, …) to assure that the necessary activities for RPAS insertion
into ATM out of segregated airspace will be pursued
