Specialist Task Force 293: 

Mandate M/354 European Air Traffic Management Network (EATMN) Phase 1: Inventory of European specification work in progress

Who we are: 

Team leader: Hartmut Uhr STF 293 Team Picture
Team members: Frank Agnew

What we do :

The STF will produce the ETSI Technical Report DTR/ERM-TG25-027: Detailed inventory of existing standards and specifications of ATM

The proposed STF will, under the guidance of joint activity between ETSI (ERM-TG25), EUROCAE and other relevant bodies (including CEN and CENELEC), perform the necessary review of the existing material and other work currently under preparation in organisations such as EUROCAE and EUROCONTROL in order to prepare a work programme proposal for the whole package of standards that need to be prepared under the mandate. This activity will involve close liaison and contact with the different organisations involved (e.g. the Galileo Joint Undertaking for item 5.3 in the list of topics in the mandate).

The large number of activities in Europe, within CEC sponsored projects, in Eurocontrol, Eurocae and national Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP’s) need to be assessed in some detail to avoid duplication of work and sub-optimised approaches. The most suitable approach to solve this task is seen in establishing a comprehensive work programme with clear priorities commensurate with the SES implementation schedules outlining the development of the required set of standards.

The STF will establish a detailed inventory of the existing standards and specifications as well as make recommendations about the usefulness of material that is available from the different CEC sponsored Air Traffic Management (ATM) related projects. Such an inventory will enable ETSI and its partners to assess the suitability of the available material and to estimate the additional work that will be required to complete the tasks related to M/354. ETSI may also propose additional tasks to be performed to achieve the objectives of the SES Seamless European ATM system.

Read our Terms of Reference

Why we do it:

In view of the recently adopted mandate M/354 (“Mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for the development of European standards for the interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management Network (EATMN)”) and the requirement to provide a work programme for this, the objective of this proposal is to perform an inventory of the existing work that is underway within Europe and other areas in order to identify the optimum solutions and identify gaps.

Mandate M/354 has been produced in order to support the implementation of the Single European Sky (SES) Regulations that were adopted early in 2004. These regulations are to harmonise the regulatory framework for the creation of the Single European Sky conjunction in with:

  • Regulation (EC) N° 550/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the provision of air navigation services in the SES (“the service provision Regulation”) ;
  • Regulation (EC) N° 551/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the organisation and use of the airspace in the SES (“the airspace Regulation”) ;
  • Regulation (EC) N° 552/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the interoperability of the European Air Traffic network (“the Interoperability Regulation”) .
     

Time plan for the work:

We intend to complete our work by the end of September 2005.
