Workshop: 'datalink services enabling ATM efficiency: the role of Iris and multilink'
We are pleased to invite you to 'Datalink services enabling ATM efficiency: the role of Iris and multilink'.
This one-day workshop aims to provide European airlines and ANSPs with the latest perspective of multilink services enabled by Iris.
The workshop will feature several airlines and ANSPs presenting their current and future equipage plans, the expected benefits of using satcom for ATC and airlines operations, challenges of the air and ground deployment and possible early use cases with operational benefits. The workshop will also present the SESAR opportunities that can speed up the pan-European deployment of Iris in the multilink perspective.
Objectives of the workshop
The CNS evolution plan identifies several key drivers for the COM evolution, including addressing ATS and AOC needs, performance, resilience, capacity and multilink flexibility. Several technologies and subnetworks are listed in the 2035 implementation roadmap, including Iris. Deployment of these technologies is currently being discussed within CP2, as a key enabler to Trajectory-based operations.
Iris satcom
Three years after the service was certified, Iris is now operational in 4 ANSPs representing 40% of European airspace, with plans for a growing number of ANSPs and airlines equipping. The workshop is a unique opportunity for participants to get feedback from early users (airlines and ANSPs) on equipage and usage of the satcom service.
Agenda
09:00 - 09:30 Registration & Welcome
09:30 - 10:00 Keynotes
Speakers from SESAR Deployment Manager, DG Move, European Satellite Service Provider (ESSP), Eurocontrol and the European Space Agency.
10:00 - 10:45 PANEL 1 - Iris: current operational deployment and usage
ESSP will start with the current operations of Iris. MUAC, DSNA, Transavia will present their experience and feedback on the Iris service, followed by Airbus Iris equipage perspective.
10:45 - 11:15 Coffee break
11:15 - 12:30 PANEL 2 - Benefits and uses cases for airlines
easyJet, Jet2, ITA Airways (tbc) and Transavia will present their equipage plans and their use cases for the satcom services.
12:30 – 13:30 Lunch & Networking
13:30-14:15 PANEL 3 – Deploying Iris: opportunities
The SESAR Digital Sky Demonstrator “AMEA” represents a key opportunity for airlines and ANSPs to deploy and use Iris. AMEA will be presented by Collins (lead of the project) and DFS. ESSP will explain the longer-term perspective for Iris deployment, including benefits and service cost. The CNS PM will update audience with the latest Evolution plan and CP2 that will frame the deployment of multilink services.
14:15- 15:45 PANEL 4 Trajectory-based operations: how multilink will support
Trajectory-based operations, how multilink will support: this panel will focus on the evolution of trajectory-based operations. Presentations will include the European Space Agency with the future Iris programmes activities (ATN/IPS, FF-ICE R2), the SESAR JU perspective for TBO evolution, Boeing’s TBO roadmap, Lufthansa’s expectations for TBO as well as TBO technology demonstrations from ATC industry players.
