Objective of Europe's Air Traffic Management System Overarching Objective: To harmonise and integrate Air Navigation Services in Europe, aiming at the creation of a uniform Air Traffic Management System for civil and military users, in order to achieve the safe, orderly, expeditious and economic flow of traffic throughout Europe. (Article 1 of EUROCONTROL's Revised Convention) EUROCONTROL's membership includes 37 States and the European Community 4

An Evolving European Aviation Landscape Airspace Users High cost pressure (+fuel) 9/11 and economic downturn Low cost airlines VLJs, UAVs Airports Aviation: just a business Society Noise & Climate change Safety Security Sustainable growth Mobility ANSPs Corporatisation/privatisation Under pressure of users Supply Industry Concentration Global Air Traffic forecast to double by 2025 6
Need for a Future Air Traffic Management System To address the European Challenges for predicted Air Transport Growth Enable a 3-fold increase in capacity which will also reduce delays, both on the ground and in the air, Improve the safety performance by a factor of 10, Enable a 10% reduction in the effects flights have on the environment and Provide ATM services at a cost to the airspace users which is at least 50% less. Traffic Closing the capacity gap }Gap: need for future system Capacity with planned system Capacity with current system A shift towards a new paradigm is required 7
Funding of European ATC Research Because of the corporatisation of ANSPs and pressure on ATC costs the trend has been reduction of national R&D budgets paid by users' charges totally offset by CEC /FP budget increase Currently, European R&D in ATM = 200 M /year: 70 % European Commission + EUROCONTROL + Industry 30 % Others (national ATS providers and R&D Centres) M Relative budget 300 100% 300 90% 250 250 80% 200 70% 60% 150 50% 40% 100 30% 20% 50 10% 0% 0 83 83 16% 81 81 32 32 32 32 46 45 53 Origin of ATM R&D Relative Budget 1996-2004 16% 15% 13% 11% 11% 12% 9% 13% 11% 6% 6% 4% 7% 34 8% 6% 6% 5% 34 12% 19 22% 23% 19 23 20% 25 33 33 22 33% 29% 32 32 36% 22 41% 17 11 26 43% 26 17 11 37% 113 113 23% 21% 20% 53 74 74 13% 15% 16% 42 27 42 27 64 70 23 28 25 12 28 9 12 18 23 13 18 23 13 12 12 12 51 12 51 73 43 23% 73 43 44 24% 26% 44 55 55 54 55 44 54 42 55 44 39 19% 21% 31% 32% 31% 64 70 59 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004- Planned 59 34% 40% 37% 72 77 82 72 77 82 Industry Tax payers Users charges (National) Tax payers (EC) Users charges (EUROCONTROL) Source draft ARDEP 2005 8
A black mark for European R&D We (research community) are criticised as there seems to be a missing link between successes and implementation** R&D perceived as being conducted in a fragmented manner Not addressing identified needs Lacking robust user requirements Insufficient Business planning analysis and/or Safety case work 9 **SESAR D1 Conclusions
Europe at Work European Institutions are taking action now to anticipate the Air Traffic Management challenges of the future 10
