Abstract
Technological and operational developments in Air Traffic Management (ATM) are more based on industrial and national interests than on a consensus approaches. This contributes to the lack of cohesion and interoperability of the ATM system and tends to worsen the problem of airspace fragmentation.. Current Air traffic management inefficiency, which is one of the main challenges of SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research), could be drastically reduced by increasing levels of automation and having a common assessment framework for all roles, interactions and functions of ATM agents. Research and development in automation and command and control systems can pave the way for new tools and technologies. These, coupled with new operational procedures and legislation, will enable a paradigm shift towards a global transport traffic management system capable of supporting highly efficient and environmentally friendly air transport operations. As a good example, two large regions of the world are currently embarked in major ATM modernization initiatives, SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) in Europe and NexGen (Next Generation Air Transportation System) in the US. These initiatives are focused on exploring how increased levels of automation enabled by new technology can lead to a sustainable and more efficient ATM system.
