In November 2017 SESAR Deployment Alliance signed an agreement with the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) – which manages the technical and financial implementation of the European Commission’s TEN-T programme – to fund a study into the implementation of Dynamic Airspace Management (DAM) and short-term air traffic management measures (STAMs) throughout the FABCE area.
The study will define a roadmap for future implementation of DAM and STAMs and will assure full compliance with the SESAR Deployment Programme.
“DAM and STAMs allow for the short-term dynamic restructuring of airspace to more closely match sector configurations with traffic loads,” says Matej Eljon, FAB CE Programme Manager and Director of FAB CE Aviation Services. “It will mean a further enhancement in safety with increased situational awareness among airspace managers and controllers, giving controllers more options to avoid overloads. It will also improve the efficiency of trajectories, reduce delays by exploiting short-term capacity availabilities in the system and improve environmental performance by adding shorter and more direct routes whenever possible.”
The study work will be carried out by FAB CE Ltd and six ANSPs: Austro Control, ANS CR, Croatia Control, Hungarocontrol, LPS and Slovenia Control.
