SESARObjectives and StructureObjective – “to eliminate the fragmented approach to ATM,transform the European ATM system and synchronise theplans and actions of the different partners and federateresources”.SESAR is structured in three major phases:Definition PhaseDevelopment PhaseDeployment Phase(2005 - 2008 – complete with delivery of the ATMMaster Plan)(2008 - 2013 – started and under management ofthe SESAR JU)2014 - 2020 – implement the results of theDevelopment Phase)3

SESARDevelopment – Joint UndertakingTo manage the development phase a legal entity was created, underEuropean Community law, on 27th of February 2007: The SESAR JointUndertaking.The aim of the Joint Undertaking is to ensure the modernisation of theEuropean air traffic management system by federating research &development efforts in the Community.As such, it will organise and coordinate the development activities of theSESAR project, in accordance with the ATM Master Plan.www.sesarju.eu5

Concept FocusIntegrated High Performance ATM• Three key enablers: Time, Arrival Runway based and globally agreed 4DTrajectory definition. And …..• A clear focus on safety, efficiency, predictability and reduced emissions;• An agreed common “Time” reference to match the need for precisepredictability at the arrival runway with the Airport airside turn-around integratedinto ATM;• Globally defined and agreed 4D trajectory exchange format;• Common shared data and information network providing for collaborationbetween partners;• Strategically and tactically planned business from gate to gate based oncollaboratively agreed business/mission trajectory;• Establishment of ATM as an enterprise system where airspace usersparticipates as performance partners and the aircraft is fully integrated into as acomponent of the system.11

Opportunity:Initial emphasis on early benefitsEC Council CommunicationOctober 2008The SESAR JU is encouraged to “to identify, at an early stage, existingand validated technical solutions that can serve as a basis for earlydeployment to secure early benefits.”16
