SESAR Solutions - Sector Team Operations - En-route Air Traffic Organiser

The contractual deliverable D27 of the Project 04.03 – Integrated and pre-operational validation & cross validation covers the OSED, safety, performance and interoperability requirements of the “CDM & Sector Team Operations” quick win. This document represents the part 1 of the D27 and deals with the OSED part. It describes the generic operational concept for an En-Route Air Traffic Organizer (ERATO), intended to provide an assistance to air traffic controllers for the detection and resolution of conflicts, and cooperation on a controller working position (CWP). The main expected benefits from ERATO are an improved level of security and an increased capacity on En-Route airspace sectors. This document is based upon the common characteristics of the ERATO concept which is currently being developed by the DSNA.
