Single European Sky and InterOPerability

closed

The Single European Sky and InterOPerability (SESIOP) project brings together a strong team composed of European leaders in the air defence and ATM domain as well small and medium enterprises, research institutes and academia that enlarge the team´s know-how and further underline the emphasis on innovative approach and solutions for military domain that have been so far applied mainly in the civilian sector. With a large European footprint (14 European nations represented in the team), the SESIOP project aims to increase interoperability of military Air C2 systems against SES rules thanks to the definition of an architectural solution which will ensure that data exchange between civil-military and military-military control centres uses the latest technologies developed, in particular the achievements reached in the SESAR framework (e.g. SWIM technologies, Trajectory Based Operations etc.) ensuring a seamless evolution towards efficient, secured and safe operations, in planning, tasking and execution phases. The SESIOP project will include a deep analysis of the current “as is” situation in terms of interaction between European Air C2 and ATC centres, and of the operational needs. Close interaction and involvement of national stakeholders – primarily national ministries of defence – will be a very important part of the initial activities of the project that will strongly impact the remaining part of project activities when interoperability requirements will be analysed and defined. Interoperability Interface Requirements for Military and Civil Centres and design of an efficient and exhaustive Architectural Interface Model to support it will be the crucial elements of the technical work. To make sure that the designed Model is realistic, partial tests for risk reduction will be conducted at the end of the 2-year project and will allow to assess feasibility of the architectural interoperability model and its selected parameters.
