Description

The project aims to demonstrate the delegation of airspace through a virtual centre setup between air traffic service units within the same flight information region, showcasing data exchange and interoperability between providers. The project will industrialise an early version of the iTEC SkyNex platform, conducting demonstrations in two clusters: the Iberian Cluster (Spain and Portugal) and the Lublin Triangle Cluster (Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine). The project will demonstrate three architectures  : 
- Y architecture, where an ATM data service provider supplies data to multiple ATSUs simultaneously. 
- D architecture, where multiple ADSPs provide services to a defined airspace, and ATSUs can connect to one or more ADSPs.
- Triangle architecture, where specialised ADSPs provide services to the same ATSU. 
The project will also demonstrate the new air traffic service operating model based on virtual centres, improving efficiency and resilience across ATSU borders
