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

由于航空和航天领域的新进入者的增加，预计高度层550以上的欧洲空域将成为一个业务将显著扩大的领域，预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ATC的操作程序和系统，需要现代化和适应，以实现高空操作（HAO）的无缝集成，因为车辆的特性和相关的操作、安全和性能要求有很大的不同。ECHO-2将以ECHO（欧洲高空空域作战概念）项目的可交付成果为基础，从作战概念开始，提出经过验证的解决方案，为在ATM中实现HAO的作战集成铺平道路，涉及三个方向：-为欧洲ATM网络管理器提供空间发射实时监控模块和相关工作站，用于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，涵盖与高空平台系统（HAPS）操作集成到ATM中的具体地面和空对地业务集成问题（包括通信、导航和监视手段）-程序包，涵盖与超音速一体化相关的具体地面和空对地业务集成问题（包括通信、导航和监视手段）；高超音速和亚轨道飞行器进入ATM。这些解决方案将提出欧洲ATM网络运营利益相关者所需的所有要素，以便在TRL6成熟时快速、协调和经济高效地实施欧洲方法，实现ATM和HAO之间的集成。它们还将包括对潜在的具体相关标准化和管理活动的评估。

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.
