Honeywell has completed the initial phase of the en route air traffic management ultimate system (ERASMUS) research project, which will be used to develop the single European sky ATM research (SESAR) programme.
ERASMUS looks at innovative ways to improve the European air traffic management system and has so far focused on improving air-to-ground cooperation, increasing data accuracy and improving coordination between air traffic controllers and aircraft.
Honeywell is working with the ERASMUS research team to maximize the efficiency of modern navigation tools including global positioning systems (GPS), flight management systems (FMS) and automatic data links.
This will be essential, as the European Transport System will see a three-fold increase in air traffic by 2020 and beyond. Honeywell’s advanced technology organisation in the Czech Republic is performing the research with a team led by the Paris-based Eurocontrol Experimental Centre, under contract with the European Commission.
Paolo Carmassi, president, Honeywell Europe, Middle East, Africa and India, says: “We look forward to helping the European Commission shape the European sky of tomorrow.”
