Virtual Centre Concept - context

5

Geographical decoupling of:• ATM Data Service Providers (ADSPs) • Air Traffic Service Units (ATSUs)

In SESAR 1 and in the future: decoupling through open and standardised

service interfaces

Service Oriented Architecture:• Dataflows organised through Services• Open and common service interfaces• Standardised service interfaces as final

objective

Virtual Centre Concept - benefits

6

Virtual Centre Concept, a technical enabler for:

•Optimized technical infrastructure costs to provide ATM Data•Dynamic airspace allocation allowing optimisation of ATM operations:

Delegation of sectors during peak hours

Closure of an ATSUs during night•Contingency scenarios between European ATSUs

Virtual Centre Services for CWPs

The main objective of SESAR1 Virtual Centre is to define Services needed by CWPs for normal operation

Operational Modelling described each of the capabilities provided by an En-route/Approach ATS Node

Service Modelling described each of the Service Interfaces for the CWP

SESAR Factsheet on operational modelling methodology was adopted

Maturity of Services

The Maturity of two of the SET1 services:– FlightDataManagementServices:

• CORE vs Extension - 68% / 32% • Note: critical flight data such as Aircraft id, Aircraft type, flight plan status

has been agreed as CORE for the Flight Data Management Service– CoordinationandTransferServices:

• CORE vs Extension - 30% /70%• Note: Critical Co-ordination data such as Coordination Reference, Speed,

heading, SFL has been agreed as CORE for the C&T service

23

Lessons learned:

•Substantial activity to model all CWP / Service Providers interactions•Defined 90% of service interfaces for CWP•50% of the service interfaces are common across Industrial Partners
