2025 Agenda

The traditional model of closed, proprietary ATM systems is reaching its limit in an increasingly complex and data-driven sky. We are currently in the midst of a technological revolution, and the ATM sector must recognize this shift by ensuring a platform is in place to integrate these emerging technologies in a cost-effective and secure manner. This panel brings together industry experts to discuss this paradigm shift: the move toward a truly collaborative ATM platform. Instead of isolated development, we explore a future built on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)s, where ANSPs and vendors work in tandem to foster innovation.

We will discuss how dedicated research into cloud-native environments and Innovation support can be shared across a wider ecosystem to increase safety, reduce fragmentation, and allow for the rapid adoption of new technologies. The focus is not on a single product, but on a collective methodology that empowers ANSPs to adapt to the next decade of aviation challenges.

Key Discussion Points:

• How a service-oriented approach allows for the seamless integration of best-of-breed components from various developers.
• Identify the structural benefits of moving from monolithic legacy systems to modular, service-based architectures.
• Utilizing cloud environments to break down geographical barriers and support cross-border ATM cooperation.
• Explore how collaborative research between ANSPs and vendors can lower the “barrier to entry” for new, innovative ATM tools.

Modern airspace requires a level of agility that single-vendor systems struggle to provide. By focusing on the development of a collaborative platform, this session addresses the industry’s most pressing need: flexibility. We will demonstrate how a commitment to open cooperation and shared innovation can de-risk modernization efforts for ANSPs while creating a more resilient global airspace.
