NextGen SESAR Harmonization

IATA attended the NextGen SESAR Harmonization Forum at the ICAO headquarters in Montreal in September. IATA's presentation focused on operational requirements and the need to overcome institutional barriers in order to apply required and harmonized technological solutions.

ICAO recognizes the need to create a speedy structure to coordinate and harmonize initiatives within a global system and will ensure alignment with other aviation technical standard making bodies including the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RCTA), EUROCAE, SAE and ARINC. ICAO will also make use of FAA and EC NextGen SESAR offers to provide resources for their harmonization effort.

IATA concluded there is a need to continue coordination with NextGen and SESAR to establish formal participation in the work of the two entities responsible for the projects.

Future Avionics

Driven by the need to harmonize future avionic requirements, primarily within the European SESAR and USA NextGen Air Traffic Management (ATM) development programmes, ICAO Aeronautical Communications Panel has consulted a number of workgroups to focus on particular issues, including:

Aeronautical radio frequency spectrum matters
Future internet protocol suite
Maintenance and updates of standards and publications
Future communications systems

IATA's participation is crucial as part of the planning process for future aviation. IATA's input is highlighted in the following Avionics in Brief papers:
P34 / TIA-902 (pdf)
LDL (pdf)
B-AMC (pdf)
AMACS (pdf)
IEEE 802-16e (pdf) IPV6 (pdf)
