EXODUS as – SESAR JU project of the month
EXODUS - a Digital Sky Demonstrator is a project co-funded by SESAR Joint Undertaking and focuses on advancing COOPANS and virtual ATM services. It represents a significant leap towards delivering a digital European sky by enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of air traffic management through innovative technological solutions.
The article, now available on the SESAR JU website, marks a significant step towards delivering a digital European sky by highlighting the EXODUS deployment of delivering virtual ATM services, told by the view from Palle Gericke, COOPANS Innovation Manager at Naviair, the ANSP in Denmark.
A new step for COOPANS, a giant leap for virtual ATM services
Building a virtual centre demonstrator, the EXODUS project represents an important step towards a future federated ATM operating model
To date, Europe’s air traffic management (ATM) has been largely composed of country-based systems and processes – a fragmentation that has knock-on effects on lack of interoperability and efficiency more costly air navigation services.
Working to overcome these challenges is COOPANS, an international partnership uniting the air navigation service providers (ANSPs) of Austria (Austro Control), Croatia (Croatia Control), Denmark (Naviair), Ireland (AirNav Ireland), Portugal (NAV Portugal), and Sweden (LFV). Together, COOPANS operates as a single entity, providing a world-class, safe, and cost-effective ATM system built on the Thales TopSky ATC solution.
