Description

The CNS DSP project aims to accelerate the market adoption of communication, navigation, and surveillance data services by creating and validating three main CNS data solutions: multisensory Surveillance Tracking Service, end-to-end ATC services, and GNSS-related added-value Navigation Services. These solutions will provide data to aviation and non-aviation stakeholders via a dedicated digital platform, with data sourced from certified entities. Data is delivered through APIs and SWIM interfaces, ensuring compliance with regulations and safety standards for use in critical applications. The solutions support the virtualisation of air traffic control centres, unmanned aircraft systems traffic management, and the development of new applications, including artificial intelligence. They contribute to the Digital European Sky vision by enhancing digitisation, connectivity, and data sharing across multiple key performance areas.  Additionally, the project seeks to improve CNS infrastructure by transitioning from physical assets to a service-based approach, enabling data-sharing between air navigation service providers and other aviation stakeholders. This transition will help enhance CNS resilience and efficiency, promoting the development of new services and applications

The overall objective of the project is to accelerate the market uptake of communication, navigation, and surveillance data services thanks to the creation and validation of the following three  CNS data solutions:

  • Multisensor surveillance tracking service
  • ATM data service provider for tactical and post operations
  • Real-Time GNSS monitoring and interference

The abovementioned solutions will provide data services to interested aviation and non-aviation stakeholders. The service provision relies on a dedicated digital platform developed by the project and data inputs from certified entities and their state-of-the-art data sources. Data is delivered through API and SWIM data output interfaces. Data governance, technical implementation and the overall service provision organisation are compliant with applicable regulations and standards, enabling data usage in safety-critical applications.

The Solutions enable virtualisation of air traffic control centres, supports unmanned aircraft system traffic management, create opportunities for development of new added-value applications and stimulate implementation of artificial intelligence.

The Solutions address digitisation, connectivity and data sharing pillars of digitalisation, contributing transversally to multiple key performance areas.
