Project description
The GREEN CNS project supports the modernisation and optimisation of the pan-European Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) infrastructure, by engaging 30 stakeholders.
The project addresses three domains:
– COM domain: the 2023_100_COM WP is set to improve the way the existing communication infrastructure is used by operational stakeholders and to address the existing operational issues and limitations of datalink services.
– SUR domain: the 2023_200_SUR_EUR and OMR WPs are set to accelerate deployment of ADS-B surveillance systems and sensors across Europe (i.e. across Lithuania, Portugal (Azores) and Spain (including the Canary Islands), whilst also supporting the upgrade of 69 general aviation aircraft with ADS-B avionics.
– NAV domain: the 2023_300_NAV WP will set an important milestone to accelerate the adoption of Performance Based Navigation through the implementation of SIDs and STAR routes in 15 TMAs (Terminal Manoeuvring Areas) in Europe (accommodating around 550.000 flights per year), whilst also supporting SBAS equipage of six of the largest EU airlines with new-generation avionics.
Project goal
When combined, the WPs of this project will support the modernisation and optimisation of CNS infrastructure on the European continent.
They contribute to making ATM operations in Europe more efficient, accomplish the decommissioning of surplus terrestrial infrastructure and support the transition of the European Aviation industry towards greener, safer, more integrated, and more efficient operations in the short-term.
