Following the EC mandate, the SDM has started to act as the

DLS Implementation Project Manager

As Data-Link Services (DLS) has been identified as priority for the 2016 CEF Transport Calls, a

dedicated DLS cluster has been identified by SDM in order to ensure a synchronized DLS

implementation in Europe.

According to EC mandate, “the SDM should now assume the role of DLS

implementation project manager responsible for organizing, implementing

and monitoring the activities identified in the recovery plan as necessary for

the implementation of the DLS transitional solution and the preparatory

actions for the full achievement of the European target solution, Model D,

in order to achieve the implementation of AF6 in accordance with the

deadlines defined in the PCP Regulation.

This role shall include managing the overall set-up, steering and coordination of

the technical approach through:

- Identification of homogenous service areas starting from the analysis of

the current situation in EU Member States;

- Definition of target ground architecture per service area in cooperation with

the local stakeholders;

- Interconnection of sub-networks within each service area to achieve a

European distributed network and a European common approach;

- Updated CBA and expected contribution to SES performance objectives.

SDM – as DLS project manager – shall facilitate the involvement of relevant

stakeholders to ensure a coordinated submission of DLS IPs to the CEF

Transport Calls for proposals, also enabling projects to stimulate

establishment of a single European DLS governance”

Path II - Main Findings (1/3)

➢ “2.1 – Requirements collection and Service Areas definition ” activities are completed. The Service

Areas Proposal has been included in the Report on Service Areas and DLS Overall

Architecture deliverable submitted to EC the 29/09.

➢ In this document, the SDM has proposed to implement a scenario with a single Service Area

as the optimal one.

➢ Nevertheless, considering the tight timeframe envisaged in the PCP regulation and outlined in the

DLS Recovery Plan, the SDM has proposed a two steps approach

First Step

Two Service Areas implementation of Model D

Final Step

Single Service Area implementation of

Model D



➢ “2.2 - European technical architecture definition” activities are completed. In

particular, two possible technical architectures have been identified

Architecture Proposal 1 Architecture Proposal 2

Each proposal is characterized by several technical and non-technical open points, whose solution

is necessary to clearly define the overall DLS architecture.



“2.3 - Elaboration of a Business Case for the target solution” activities are in progress considering the

Service Areas and the architecture outcomes; specifically the SDM is preparing a preliminary version of the D3.1

–Business Case Report, which will be released by the end of December 2017.

“2.4 - Transitional activities towards target solution” activities are in progress considering the Service Areas

and the architecture outcomes.

“2.5 – Ensuring consistency of activities related to DLS Governance definition”: Activities are on-going in

accordance to the schedule, however SDM is recommending to accelerate the main deliverables.

SDM Guidelines for the 2017 CEF Transport Calls for Proposals

The SDM considers fundamental to guide stakeholders towards the

most appropriate deployment approach and connect at same time to

the co-funding opportunities expected for the 2017 CEF Transport

Calls for Proposals.

For this reason, SDM has elaborated dedicated guidelines “DLS

Guidelines for the 2017 CEF Transport Calls” for a coordinated

submission of implementation projects for the 2017 CEF Transport

Calls for Proposals.

In these guidelines, according to the DLS Recovery plan and the

outcomes of the Path II project execution, the SDM strongly encourages

the submission of the before mentioned projects.

Interested stakeholders are requested to provide IPs proposal from 15th November to 28th

November, by using the dedicated space on STAR Tool


Agenda

➢ Overview




➢ 2017 CEF Transport Call for Proposals


SDM working in progress

– main items


SDM Work in progress - main items (1/3)

“Best in Class” and the need for a working forum.

• SDM is supporting EUROCAE in the definition of ED92C in coordination with EASA. The ED92C is

expected to characterize the standardization of Best-in-Class.

• At the same time, SDM is working on the requirements identification for the establishment of a DLS

dedicated working forum for the problem reporting, investigation and resolution, including day-to-day

topics. Roles and responsibilities of this forum will be discussed with other relevant Bodies.

➢ Current progress

Critical activities that need to be completed by February 2018.

• The most critical activity to be performed by February 2018 is the completion of the service provision at

EU level, as required by the IR (EU) No 310/2015; this activity is in charge of ANSPs and CSPs,

coordinated by SDM.

Need for consensus on future capacity needs

• SDM is promoting a capacity assessment of Model B and Model D through simulations in portions of

European Airspace (including high traffic levels area), considering as baseline the current situation.

• The study could be useful also to understand the future capacity needs.


➢ ATS & AOC

Prioritisation of ATS traffic over AOC

• SDM is promoting a proposal where it will be taken into account the analysis of the introduction of the

priorisation of ATS over AOC (considering also the availability of real implementations worldwide).


Target Architecture work – main items

➢ Performance: SDM is promoting within the 2017 CEF Transport Calls:

• A capacity assessment of Model B and Model D through simulations in portions of European

Airspace (including high traffic levels area), considering as baseline the current situation.

Moreover, the SDM is

• A performance trade-off analysis of Models B and D RF Layers, on the basis of real data

coming from Model B (already implemented) and data gathered within the Model D already pre-

implemented in a limited portion of the European Airspace.

➢ Business Case: SDM is working on the Business Case elaboration and at the same time is promoting

a proposal for the 2017 CEF Transport Calls with the aim of supporting SDM in its activity.

➢ Path I & Path II alignment: SDM is coordinating the Path I & Path II projects, ensuring the alignment

of the main outcomes in the ground domain, where applicable. Path I has to be considered as part of

the baseline for Path II activities. For the airborne domain, the AUs are expected to follow the

indications included in the DLS Recovery Plan.

➢ Target architecture (1/2)


Target Architecture work – main items

➢ Target architecture (2/2)

➢ Path II & ELSA recommendations alignment: Path II activities are based on the ELSA

recommendations. With regard to the target dates SDM has the need to take into consideration also

the deadlines of PCP Regulation for AF 6.

➢ Evolution from Current model to the target architecture: SDM is working on the elaboration of a

transitional plan towards the target architecture. These activities are in the Path II project WP4 scope

.

➢ Service Governance: SDM is supporting and monitoring the stakeholders of the Path II project WP5

that are working on the DLS Governance definition.
