SWIM Infrastructure Demonstration- Airspace Closure Test Partners

– Frequentis, Eurocontrol, Thales, Selex and other SESAR Partners

– Test setup in a matter of days (would take weeks with today’s technologies)

Test Scenario: – Two flights going from Eastern to Western Europe

– First System issue a Digital NOTAM (ASHTAM) in the Middle of Europe using WBS and DDS

– Second system displays the trajectories of the flights before and after the issuance of the ASHTAM

– Third system, as a subscriber, receives the ASHTAM and calculates the New ETA (Estimated Time Arrival) based on the new flight path (available airspace)

AMHS and SWIM

Two infrastructures will co-exist in the future (AFTN/AMHS and SWIM)

Some of the traffic (messages) currently going over AFTN/AMHS Infrastructure will be going over SWIM in the future

There will be a need for a Gateway between these two infrastructures
