European Concept for Higher Altitude Operations Phase 2: Towards the integration between Air Traffic Management and Higher Altitude Operations

随着代表航空和航天领域的新进入者的增加，预计FL550以上的欧洲空域将成为业务大幅扩大的地区，估计每年的商业价值约为数十亿欧元。欧洲空中交通管理(ATM)系统，包括空管的操作程序和系统，需要现代化和调整，以允许无缝集成高空作战(HAO)，因为车辆的特性和相关的操作、安全和性能要求非常不同。ECHO-2将以ECHO(欧洲更高空域运营概念)项目的成果为基础，从运营概念出发，提出经过验证的解决方案，为空中交通管制系统在三个方向上的运营整合铺平道路：-空间发射实时监控模块和相关的工作站，用于欧洲空管网络管理器，以提高网络级别的态势感知，支持空中交通流量管理以及危机和应急管理。-程序包，涉及与将高空平台系统(HAPS)业务纳入空管相关的具体地面和空地业务集成问题(包括通信、导航和监视手段)--程序包，涉及与将超音速、高超声速和亚轨道飞行器业务纳入空管相关的具体地面和空地业务集成问题(包括通信、导航和监视手段)。这些解决方案将提出欧洲ATM网络业务利益相关者所需的所有要素，以便在TRL6成熟时，迅速、协调和具有成本效益地实施欧洲方法，实现ATM和HOO之间的一体化。它们还将包括对潜在的具体相关标准化和监管活动的评估。

The European airspace above FL550 is expected to become an area where operations will significantly expand as a result of increased new entrants presence representing both aviation and space domains, with estimated business values in the order of billions of euros per year. The European Air Traffic Management (ATM) system, including ATC’s operational procedures and systems, needs modernization and adaptation to allow seamless integration of Higher Altitude Operations (HAO) because of vastly different characteristics of vehicles and associated operational, safety and performance requirements. ECHO-2 will build on the deliverables of the ECHO (European Concept of Higher airspace Operations) project, starting from the Concept of Operations, to propose validated solutions paving the way towards the operational integration of HAO in ATM, on three directions: - Space Launch Real Time Monitoring Module and associated working station for the European ATM Network Manager for increased situational awareness at Network level, supporting Air Traffic Flow Management as well as crisis and contingency management. - Procedural Package covering specific ground and air-ground operational integration issues (including for communications, navigation and surveillance means) associated with the integration of High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) operations into ATM - Procedural Package covering specific ground and air-ground operational integration issues (including for communications, navigation and surveillance means) associated with the integration of supersonic, hypersonic and suborbital vehicles operationsinto ATM. These solutions will propose all the elements needed by the European ATM Network operational stakeholders for a rapid, harmonized and cost-effective implementation of a European approach towards the integration between ATM and HAO, at TRL6 maturity. They will also include assessments of potential specific related standardization and regulatory activities.
