EUROCAE WG-81

WG-81 is working on the interoperability between ATM:• real-time platforms and • real-time and fast-time platforms Founded: April 2008Members: ANSPs, airborne and ground

industry, aerospace institutesPublications: ED-147A / ED-148

Where do we comefrom?

✈ EVI counted in 2010 in Europe ✈ 26 analytical modelling tools✈ 30 automatic simulators✈ 38 HITL simulators✈ 13 field try platformsoperated by stakeholders of different ATM domains

✈ a few of them were partly interoperable

European V&V Infrastructure

Existing V&VI needed to change due to ✈ New global ATM concepts ✈ Collaboration of ATM stakeholders✈ SWIM throughout the ATM network

Indentified needs

✈No standard input formats ✈No ATM Interoperability standards✈No cross domain support✈No interchangeability standards ✈No real-time/fast-time couplings

Indentified gaps

Common IOP Architecture

Common Operational Environment

CCL: • Reference Information Model • Common Information Model

CIA: • Logical interoperability architecture• Key architectural concepts• State and time management• Interoperability services

COE: • Operational environmental data formats • Output data formats

ED-147 RIM and CIM

• RIM the baseline for a common language

• CIM the „contract“ between participants

• Extracting and extentingas key to interoperability

ED-147 IOP Architecture

• Agent gateways connect cross domain ATM VPs

• Runtime IOP services• Network centric

infrastructure• State management

ED-147 Input and Output

Common formats for offline data preparation• Environmental data based on AIXM• Weather data based on AIXM extension• Flightplan data based on FIXM

AIRBUS Examples

AIRBUS

SESAR1 :• initial 4D (EXE-708, EXE-805) with Eurocontrol, EEC, ENAV• ASAS with ENAV• D-TAXI with EEC, ENAV

SESAR 2020:• Solution PJ18-02a with Skyguide & Dassault

Airbus Project :• i4d China - preparation for the flight test (March 2019)

Airbus internally to link simulators together or with other platforms(traffic generator, ATC platforms…)

FO IOP Validation

Validation subject: Flight Object Interoperability (En-route/En-route)Validation framework: SESAR 2020 – Solution PJ18-02bPartners: DFS, DSNA, ENAV, EUROCONTROL, COOPANS, NATS, INDRA, LEONARDO, THALES Air Systems

ED-147 enabled simulators of four ANSPs are supporting the validation of Flight Object Interoperability by:• Synchronizing the start of the exercise run • Locally stimulating the system prototypes with surveillance data• Exchanging the position of each aircraft among each other• Handing over the aircraft control between the upstream and the downstream

simulator at the boundary

THALES

THALES used ED-147 (in SESAR 1) during: • i4D (EXE-203, EXE-204) together with Airbus, MUAC and

NORACON/Thales • FO IOP (EXE-022, EXE-711) with DFS/INDRA, DSNA/Thales

and MUAC/INDRA

We are also currently implementing internally a simulation bus using an implementation of ED147-A on HLA Evolved with the objective to prepare and be compliant with the future ED147-B HLA Technology Mapping.
