FREQUENTIS THEATRE: Delivering technologies for a safer world
Technology is critical to delivering new capabilities in an airspace ecosystem which is rapidly changing. This theatre will provide a showcase platform for the innovative solutions that deliver safety improvements, enhanced efficiencies, increased sustainability and capacity. It will also consider the challenges of application and potential solutions, most critically what might be done to speed up implementation.
We welcome submissions from organisations who have something to contribute to this debate. We are looking to those who wish to share ideas and concrete examples of implementation of new and emerging technologies to address these issues, including but not limited to digital tower technology, service-oriented architecture, virtual platforms, considerations for cyber security, considerations for the digital backbone and creating resilience through technology and technological design.
WING THEATRE: Delivering an integrated airspace for the future
The airspace of the future will have to host new generations of users: from autonomous drones and eVTOL taxis at lower level to high-altitude platforms, supersonic airliners and space tourist vehicles higher up. All these new users will need to be integrated within more digital, automated ATM frameworks relying on waves of new technologies and procedures.
Designing the evolution of the current ATM system to a future global, harmonised, digital ATM architecture in order to safely integrate this diverse set of users is one of the most difficult but exciting challenges facing the industry today.
We are seeking submissions from organisations in sectors including space, urban air mobility, drone delivery and surveillance, un-crewed traffic management (UTM), eVTOL, vertiports and others, willing to share their thoughts on how this evolution can be managed. Topics might include, but are not limited to, what an end-state might look like, how autonomy can be safely introduced and how the relationship between airspace users and ATM organisations should evolve to meet the demands of the future.
