New products coming out from science not fully integrated into ATM – Hazardous weather such as icing, convection, clear air turbulence Sub-optimal use of Weather information – 60% of ATM delays due to meteorological factors – 43% of accidents occurred during operations in adverse weather (source IATA safety report 2006). SESAR MET Solution: the 4DWeatherCube Two high level objectives – One stop shop for MET – Delivers a seamless consistent view of weather for ATM Additional technical objectives – SWIM compliance – Fit-for-purpose MET information Strong European cooperation (research and IT) through SESAR WP11.2 – France (MéteoFrance) , Germany (Deutsche Wetterdienst) and United Kingdom (UK Met Office) under EUMETNET aegis Consolidation example: nowcasting of convection Merging the convection products from UK, Germany and France to have a pan European product Erasing and smoothing the boundaries Ensuring best MET information at every point in space Translation example: Icing contours Using ATM units instead of MET units (for example FL instead of hPa) Converting physical parameters into severity levels Extracting only useful information (contours instead of gridded data) 4DWeatherCube Users in SESAR1 8 MET services that the whole ATM community can discover through the European SWIM registry 4DWeatherCube accessed by multiple ATM partners : mainly industry in SESAR1 Validation exercise, SWIM Master Class, TOPLINK Airbus Defence and Space / Luciad Application 4DWeatherCube Services used to optimize trajectories – CAPS : Collaborative Airspace Provision Service- Application . Consume hazardous weather service from 4DWeatherCube – ConSA : Contrail Service for Aviation . Consume temperature and humidity 4D grids from 4DWeatherCube Airbus Defence and Space / Luciad solution: CAPS based on SWIM [Collaborative Airspace Provision Service-Application] The key to success of future SESAR is to manage the 4D trajectory of all SES- flights in the best possible way. Optimization of BTs (Business Trajectories) seems to conflict with static volumes of reserved airspace (ARES). To flexibly integrate ARES into the SES maintaining optimal network performance Airbus Defence and Space together with Luciad developed the CAPS application in the scope of the SWIM Master Class 2014. CAPS based on SWIM Business Problem.. – With an increasing number of flights following the rules of Free Route Airspace in the Single European Sky, the available airspace becomes more and more occupied. – Naturally the number of conflicts between Business Flights (4D Trajectories) and reserved portions of airspace (ARES = Airspace Reservation) will increase. ..and SWIM-based Solution – CAPS based on SWIM searches for a reservable airspace, optimally suiting the Airspace Users’ needs. – On-the-fly calculated conflict detection to assisst users in proposal of ARES with minimal impact onto the network Use Cases – Mission planning (Tactical Training of military Aircraft, Technical Flights, RPAS, etc.) – What-if analysis (based on Weather Data, Volceuro service, etc.) 16 CAPS based on SWIM Technical architecture CAPS based on SWIM The geographical situational awareness display includes flightplan data from the NOP (Network Operation Portal), static reserved Airspace (ARES) and a calculated dynamic volume of airspace with least amount of conflicts to the ATM network! Airspace Users fill the form to request an ARES 18 CAPS based on SWIM This screenshot shows the same ARES (as on the slide before), but providing a 4D view of the situation by taking the time factor into consideration! 19 CAPS based on SWIM A closer view on the output of the solution calculated by CAPS. 20 CAPS based on SWIM The calculated ARES from CAPS after data import into a fielded Multi-Mission-Planning-System. 21 CAPS based on SWIM 3 separated volumes of ARES from CAPS to demonstrate enhanced analysis options for the operator, using dynamic calculation of multiple volumes of ARES. 22 CAPS based on SWIM Optimizing the calculated ARES for environment by the use of icing information. 2 Airbus Defence and Space / Luciad solution: ConSA [Contrail Service for Aviation] For the SWIM Master Class 2015, AIRBUS Defence and Space together with Luciad developed a SWIM-based service to support ATM stakeholders in the effort to reduce aviation’s impact to the Earth’s environment. Partnership were established with EUMETNET for meteorological support. The objective is to reduce forming of contrails as those, whilst converting into cirrus cloud, cause a net warming effect. The contrails algorithm has been developed by Dr. Schumann from DLR. The solution is in line with SESAR’s prime objective “Reduction of environmental impact by 10% per flight”. ConSA Business Problem.. – With an increasing number of flights around the globe the need for environmental protection will become much more important. Although regulations for contrail generation from aircraft are not in place today the importance of environmental protection has already been recognized word wide. – ATM stakeholders’ need to consider all aspects of environmental impact will raise over time. Any possible reduction of environmental disadvantage needs to be evaluated in future. ..and SWIM-based Solution – ConSA calculates probable forming of contrails on given weather conditions provided there are flights in those areas. Use cases – 4D Trajectory planning and management –’Environmental’ Awareness for ATM operators 25 ConSA Technical architecture ConSA The geographical situational awareness display calculates and shows the predicted amount of contrail formation for a flight trajectory at different altitudes. 27 ConSA Zones of high contrail formation can be automatically identified and visualized. 28 ConSA Contrail formation prediction for a trajectory can be combined with other weather products 29 CAPS and ConSA combined Optimizing the calculated ARES for environment by the use of contrail prediction information

  • Press Release 22 June 2017 Altran and Luciad on Board with Dassault Aviation in the Creation of Their New Mission Preparation System for the RAFALE and Mirage 2000
    Press Release 22 June 2017 Altran and Luciad on board with Dassault Aviation in the creation of their new mission preparation system for the RAFALE and Mirage 2000 The mission preparation system OPERA, gives pilots all the information needed to simulate training or missions which combines high-performance software with an intuitive interface. In search of an innovative technological solution that would be precise, comprehensive and tailored to its constraints, Dassault Aviation has chosen to work with Altran and Luciad in order to design its Mission Preparation System, known as OPERA, for its RAFALE and Mirage 2000 fighter jets. The relevance and accuracy of geographic information is a key component for mission success. OPERA is a user-friendly system, dedicated to the preparation of training or combat missions. Firstly, it makes it possible to prepare a mission by supplying pilots with all necessary information (aerial photographs, satellite coverage of terrain, aeronautical charts, 2D/3D topography, targets, allied and enemy troops and so on…). OPERA allows the mission to be rehearsed in order to validate tactical choices. Once this stage is completed, data are converted to a dedicated format for uploading to mission calculators. In addition to its outstanding software performance, the system supplied by Altran and Luciad provides a functional and intuitive user interface. “The visual geospatial analysis tool, ‘LuciadLightspeed’ takes into account every one of our data formats Furthermore, this product offers 2D, 3D and 4D capabilities. Its performance, precision, and handling of data in real time are features that Dassault Aviation found compelling. Its intuitive user interface made it possible to quickly deploy it among our development teams with the expertise of Altran’s aeronautics consultants,” explained Salvador Lopez, Head of OPERA program at Dassault Aviation.

    M. Philippe Gros Research Fellow Fondation pour la recherche stratégique 27 rue Damesme, 75013 Paris July 27th, 2011 NETWORK CENTRIC WARFARE FRENCH CASE STUDY This case study 1 proposes an overview of the conceptual background and the various information and communication programs implementing in France the network-centric or network-enabled operations. It does not develop the basic tenets of the NCW concept, assuming it has been extensively covered by existing literature. Executive Summary The French armed forces, as British and other European forces, followed the trend initiated by the US to exploit the new information technologies in order to enhance dramatically the operational effectiveness. From a conceptual standpoint, the French concepts of “infovalorisation ” and “ opérations en réseaux ” (OR), are close to UK NEC concept, that is a networking supporting the control of effects. French share the intellectual foundations of Adm Cebrowski’s NCW (shared awareness leading to self-synchronisation leading to a leap in operational effectiveness). Nevertheless, while OR constitute a pillar of the French approach to transformation, their implementation are not seen as a tremendous revolution in warfare. The OR are enabled at the joint level by several key communication systems, notably the Syracuse satellite communication system and new software radios programs. Regarding information systems, French joint strategic and operational level HQs used the SICA since the last decade. This system is currently transforming Around 5 years behind the US Army, the French Army launched in 1999 its own program of digitisation, the numérisation de l’espace de bataille (NEB). NEB is allowed by the Army signal architecture including RITA 2G communication network and PR4G radio system.
