The consortium consists in 5 partners:

avion_puceAirbusProsky

Airbus ProSky is dedicated to increasing the performance of Air Traffic Management (ATM) throughout the world. While the general public typically views ATM transformation as a sweeping set of technological changes in Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) infrastructure, the transformation must run deeper and further if we are truly going to support safe and environmentally sustainable air transportation growth for the next decade and beyond. Airbus ProSky, subsidiary of Airbus, is dedicated to supporting EUROCONTROL’s Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR), the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) as well as overall global Air Traffic Management (ATM) modernization and harmonization.
