Virtualization is one of the foundations on which skyguide is building its future. The Virtual Centre, a cornerstone of virtualization, is in its Tranche 2, where Joël Jordan and our experts strive to implement CRYSTAL, a tool to forecast the air traffic volume.
Multilateration is a proven surveillance technology that can determine the position of aircraft. WAM is the solution proposed by Götz Ardey for skyguide to maintain its efficiency and flexibility in terms of costs and performance.
The question for skyguide is how it can improve its ability to change and how it can capitalize on artificial and business intelligence in the near future as the logical continuation of the technology roadmap. Anne Bobillier provides us with her point of view.
Drones open up new opportunities for professional and leisure purposes and are a major disruptive force to air traffic management. However, airspace is limited and all its users have to be integrated safely, which is why Robert Fraefel strives to develop and implement a new system called "Swiss U-space".
The runway system in Zurich airport is complex, arrivals and departures are made even more difficult. ARSI is the project that unites skyguide with end users, engineers, zurich airport, and software suppliers in finding a solution to continuously improve safety.
Welcome to the 2019 edition of our Blueprint. We keep progressing in our transformation and continue to position skyguide as an innovator in air traffic management (ATM).
In this new edition, we will go through the steps made in our flagship project, the Virtual Centre, but also extend the scope to other strategic programmes which will lead us towards our vision for the future of Air Traffic Management.
