NETWORK TBO · Network Trajectory Based Operations

The NETWORK Trajectory based operations (NETWORK TBO) project proposes to validate TBO SESAR Solutions covers all aspects of Trajectory management processes involving – but not limited to - Network actors. It covers both planning and execution phases. The proposed SESAR Solutions, with an indication of the Technology Readiness Levels (with the associated EOCVM level) at the end of the project, are:* Solution #1: TBO Planning and Impact on Execution. Taking as baseline FF-ICE/1 implementation in progress, this solution will develop focusing on the planning phase and the transition to execution including the EPP data improvement. (Target = TRL6 (V3)).* Solution NETWORK TBO-2: Strategic trajectory revision in execution. This solution will address trajectory management during the (strategic) execution phase, including a contribution to the development of the ICAO’s FF-ICE 2 TBO concept. (Target = TRL6 (V3)).* Solution NETWORK TBO-3: Improve both ATC and network processes through synchronization of network and local trajectories. This solution will aim in particular at improving information exchanges between the Network Manager and ANSPs in order to enable a reference Network 4D trajectory supporting coordination processes. (Target = TRL6 (V3)).The NETWORK TBO project consortium - with EUROCONTROL as the project coordinator, and with steering from the project management board and the SJU - brings together 9 air navigation service providers, 2 airspace users, 8 airborne and ground industry partners, 2 research establishments. The main 'design', 'development & validation', and 'data pack and maturity gate' phases are planned throughout the second half of 2023, 2024, 2025 and the first half of 2026.The NETWORK TBO IR project will be executed in strong coordination with European initiatives and projects related to TBO implementation as well as the ATMRPP ICAO working group ensuring complementary and maximising the R&D outputs towards implementation and standardisation.""
