Air Traffic Management and Airspace Control

The constant growth of civil and military crewed and uncrewed aerial systems, together with the extensive use of the airspace from all components, leads to the requirement for improving the overall Air Traffic Management and Air Space Control to include airspace de-confliction. Future implementation of MDO concepts will expand the requirement to include the intelligent use of EDTs like AI and ML. Accordingly, this focus area supports the awareness of ATM & ASC technologies and capabilities, their integration and employment as key enablers to NATO Air Power projection, as well as their limitations. We support the evolution of related topics by focusing on interoperability, doctrine, standardization and integration, joint operational planning, future capabilities, and training and exercises.
