NG Aviation – Smart Airports

Status date: 28 March 2019

Proposed system serves as a platform for Airside area management based on ICAO and EUROCONTROL legislative as a support for satellite navigation.

AIME Aeronautical Information Management Environment software platform enables to create and share digital aeronautical data including the temporal warning messages (Digital NOTAM) in AIXM 5.1 format.

European Space-based Information Management System for CBRN (EuroSIM CBRN)

Status date: 22 March 2019

The aim of this project is to investigate the feasibility of developing the next generation of CBRN information management system through the provision of a web-based service model which enables a wide user community to have access to the type of advanced CBRN IM technology already available to the military in the UK, the USA and NATO.

CERASAT

Status date: 20 March 2019

CERASAT aims to provide reliable, real-time and global rainfall measurement services. It extracts the rainfall information from the signalling data generated in satellite communication (SatCom) networks by employing advanced machine learning and signal processing techniques.
