Five Years In: A Look Back at World ATM Congress’ Origins

hat if you could tailormake an event to suit the needs of your industry, your stakeholders, and your members? And what if you could invite the whole world? What would that event look like? That’s exactly what the Air Traffic Control Association (ATCA) and the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO) did with World ATM Congress, now celebrating its fifth year. Together, the partners have created a one-stopshop for air traffic where literally all the major players are under one roof, with the backdrop of one of Europe’s major transportation hubs. World ATM is a three-day beehive, a flurry of business deals and connections being made. It benefits the industry as a whole, from bottom to top: World ATM Congress is and always will be for the industry, by the industry. Essentially, ATCA and CANSO knew they could create a better event, so they did. While World ATM Congress is now a fixture on the calendar of every ATM professional, it wasn’t always that way. Just seven years ago, what’s now become the largest ATM exhibition in the world was just an idea. It then grew as most ideas do: with the right people at the right place at the right time.

Exhibition Hall Hours Hall 9 at IFEMA, Feria de Madrid (North Entrance) Tuesday, 7 March 10.00 – 19.30 Wednesday, 8 March 10.00 – 18.00 Thursday, 9 March 10.00 – 14.00

Attendees listen to speakers during last year’s Session One: Big Picture Leadership.

The idea came from Neil Planzer, Chairman Emeritus of ATCA and former Boeing Vice President of ATM. ATCA loved the idea and ran with it, then approaching CANSO. It then gained momentum in a 2011 meeting in Dublin, Ireland. “World ATM Congress was a no brainer,” said Peter F. Dumont, ATCA’s President and CEO. “It was the next step for our organisation. ATCA has been in the industry since 1956 – we’ve always been involved with everything important in the ATM industry.” “We had laser focus on where we wanted to go,” he continued. “I knew we could make it happen – we had the right experience, the right people, and the know-how.” The next two years were spent building a strategy, negotiating partnership agreements, and choosing a proper venue and host city. In no time, they had half of the Exhibition Hall floor filled, with Boeing being the first to sign on as a sponsor. According to Dumont, they worked to create a plan that would impact stakeholders in the least disruptive way. They knew moving the industry cavalry from Amsterdam where ATC Global was traditionally held to Madrid would be change enough. The final agreement was signed with CANSO Director General Jeff Poole, who took his position in the

fall of 2012. World ATM Congress was unveiled in March 2013, and each year has been more successful than the last. Five years in, there’s still no other event like it. So, what’s the secret? “Flexibility has been key – we haven’t been tied to doing things the way they’ve always been done,” said Dumont. “Our exhibition was built on our ability to build relationships, be responsive, and know the needs of

exhibitors and stakeholders – knowing how to connect those needs has been one of our strengths.” “I knew it was going to be successful – I just didn’t know it would happen this quick,” continued Dumont. “It had a lot to do with timing – we had the right leadership at CANSO and ATCA. From the beginning there were believers and there were people who had to be convinced.” Those early believers were CANSO’s Executive Committee (ExCom), especially then-members Eamonn Brennan, Greg Russell, Paul Riemens, Massimo Garbini, as well as Paddy Kennedy of the Irish Aviation Authority. They were champions of World ATM Congress from the start. “If we didn’t have the vision and support from the CANSO ExCom at the beginning, this wouldn’t have been successful, especially for an idea that was outside of the box,” said Dumont. “We recognize that we didn’t do this alone – without the unwavering support of industry, World ATM Congress wouldn’t be successful for ATCA, CANSO, or the industry as a whole,” he noted.

NextGen and SESAR Stay in Sync

ederal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) officials are making sure that their respective ATM modernisation programmes are interoperable and harmonised as needed to support and align with the framework of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP). The massive NextGen and SESAR efforts do not need to be completely identical since they serve the needs of their respective aviation and ATM environments, including airspace users’ needs. However, it is important that their modernised and new capabilities are harmonised to create seamless operations and predictability for airspace users and their investments. The FAA, SESAR Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU), and SESAR Deployment Manager are harmonising research, development, and implementation to meet interoperability needs. This collaboration supports the ICAO GANP and its Aviation System Block Upgrade (ASBU) program. Updated periodically for endorsement at the triennial ICAO Assembly, the ICAO GANP and ASBUs provide a rolling 15-year strategy for ATM modernisation on a global scale

based on existing technology and anticipated advancements represented by regional ATM modernisation programmes like NextGen, SESAR, and Japan’s effort, Collaborative Action for Renovation of Air Traffic Systems. The block upgrades identify goals that ICAO member states plan to achieve in six-year periods. The FAA and SESAR share their joint plans with other modernisation programmes and stakeholders engaged in ATM transformation. This work occurs under the US-European Union (EU) Memorandum of Cooperation on NextGen-SESAR interoperability. Some recent accomplishments include: • NextGen and SESAR progress implementation strategies with short-, medium-, and long-term planning on three high-priority implementation programmes: Data Communications (Data Comm), Performance Based Navigation (PBN), and System Wide Information Management (SWIM). • NextGen and SESAR showcased the global interoperability of SWIM data exchange for applications using aeronautical, meteorological, and flight information exchange models, as well as technologies and applications of services.

• An updated avionics roadmap. • Delivery of a Data Comm strategy and progress on a joint Navigation Systems Roadmap. • The US and EU collaborated on a GANP revision outlining essential ATM “backbone” modules for operational improvements to support GANP’s evolution, all of which are necessary for global, regional, or national ATM services’ safety, capacity, and efficiency plans. • Added a new transversal risk management process to identify interoperability and harmonisation risks between the two ATM modernisation programs. Florian Guillermet, executive director of SESAR JU, said the updated report shows a great deal of recent

longer in its honeymoon phase, industry interest has only grown. This year, the show is set to break its own records with 230 exhibitors covering more floor space than ever before. In addition, last year, World ATM Congress extended its contract and will call Madrid and

progress advancing ATM modernisation and interoperability: “This second edition of the ‘State of Harmonisation’ clearly shows what can be achieved when two of the leading regions in aviation join forces.” “There is still a lot of work to be done to achieve harmonisation between the United States and Europe,” said Jim Eck, FAA Assistant Administrator for NextGen. “We will ensure that NextGen and SESAR cooperative efforts remain in sync with each other and comply with the ICAO roadmap detailed by the GANP.” This work is documented in the new second edition of the “NextGenSESAR State of Harmonisation,” available at http://tinyurl.com/nextgensesarreport. IFEMA its home through 2022. “We’re now in the innovative stage,” said Dumont. “But the part of the event I still most look forward to is connecting with all the people I don’t have the opportunity to see during the year.” Five years in, one thing’s for certain: the best years are ahead for World ATM Congress. Welcome to Madrid. Let’s start the show!

KVM FROM G&D

IT control that towers above the rest

—List as of 2 March

LEADING THE WAY IN DIGITAL KVM From the ANSP to the controller to the technician, everyone’s better off with KVM. For the service provider, KVM adds flexibility to IT infrastructure. It enables emergency work-arounds, improves workflows, adds reliability to redundancy concepts and provides continuous, uninterrupted IT availability. ATCOs enjoy a computer-free environment. Moving the computers to a central location creates less noise, less heat and more space to create better working conditions in the control room. And the system’s more reliable too! With KVM, technicians can access several systems from a range of locations - not just their workplace. Administration is made easier and maintenance too: the computers are stored centrally so no more crawling under desks. There’s also more time for maintenance because ATCOs can be simply switched to a back-up system whenever it’s required. For optimum IT system control, improved working conditions and increased system safety, there’s only one all-round answer – KVM from G&D.

10.00 – 11.00 Session One: Responding to Geopolitical Change and Black Swans ATM is adept at handling challenges at the operational level on a daily basis – but what about the broader geopolitical changes now taking place and not within the control of ATM? For this session we have asked a high profile and highly respected airline CEO to highlight the airline requirements of ATM, to describe how significant changes have been faced and overcome in the recent past, and how the airline is “creating the right culture” to overcome even greater challenges in the future. How exactly does the airline inspire a common view and recognition amongst its management, staff, shareholders, regulators, and others of its planned changes? How does an organisation ensure it has a culture of adapting with 11.00 – 11.30 Networking Break

Tuesday, 7 March 2017 15.15 – 16.00 IHS Jane's ATC Awards The IHS Jane’s ATC Awards 2017 attracted 41 nominations from across the air transport industry, highlighting major innovations and projects that enhance airspace capacity, safety, and environmental sustainability. Winning entries will be announced today during World ATM Congress 2017. The awards that are synonymous with industry excellence will take place at 15.15 in the Delegate Theatre and will be open to all World ATM Congress attendees.

With such a strong emphasis on safety McMahon and an almost inbuilt resistance to change in ATM, what are the ‘new ingredients’ that will enable the right culture to drive improved performance through innovation and acceptance of new concepts and technologies? How do we ensure positive challenges to conventional thinking and facilitate new, more holistic thinking to the emerging and critical issues facing ATM? Are there different approaches for management, staff, industry partners, and regulators, or is a generic partnership approach the best way forward? What can we learn from the latest ‘human performance’ work in ATM that may assist with creating the right culture? How does an industry supplier ensure that its workforce is motivated to commit and invest in the future of its ANSP customers? How can we ensure that ATM is truly attractive to the next generation?

Managing Change and the Diffusion of Innovations By Hannu Juurakko, Vice President ATM Civil, Frequentis AG

Currently, we see an increased interest from regular airports for remote tower technologies to provide better visibility and enhance operations utilising artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and safety nets.

n 2015, my presentation was titled "Change Ahead: How to Keep Pace with New ATM Developments." Two years later, the entire conference theme is "Adapting to Change in ATM - Creating the Right Culture." It focuses on change driven by new technologies, new entrants into the airspace, and business models. There are said to be several attributes influencing the rate innovations are adopted: The cultural aspect can be found in compatibility, meaning that a new concept is more likely to be adopted if it's compatible with (1) sociocultural values and beliefs, (2) previously introduced ideas, and (3) the client’s needs for the innovation. At present, there is a huge change in cultural values, so I am optimistic ATM will change the rate at which it adopts innovations.

ed with new users. And while I'm sure the conference will be full of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) talk, the underlying mission of our industry remains the same – to fly safely and legally in assigned airspaces. Our research efforts focus on these future concepts to build a true UAS traffic management (UTM) system that works seamlessly with the existing ATM world.

and artificial intelligence has already reached ATM. Digitalisation of towers and remote virtual tower technologies will also provide huge benefits to regular tower operations. Currently, we see an increased interest from regular airports for remote tower technologies to provide better visibility and enhance operations utilising artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and safety nets. We have also identified the potential for software-defined networking (SDN) to improve ATM networks. While SDN was adopted years ago by companies like Google, no one

Demographic changes enable a new culture ATM is dominated by an experienced workforce, often with military ATC heritage. As the new generation of workforce takes over, new ideas and concepts, as well as high expectations, will allow us to form a modern ATM concept. Initiatives such as ATCA’s Young Aviation Professionals (YAP) – visit www.atca. org/youngprofessionals for more information – have a vision to develop the industry’s newest leaders, increasing the attractiveness of aviation, and specifically ATM, and to attract and retain new talent to in turn bring a new spin to ATM culture.

DFS and Its New Subsidiary Exhibit with an Innovative Stand in Madrid

glass construction designed to resemble the cab of a control tower rises high into the air at the DFS stand, a matrix of polygons suggest the contours of airspace sectors and illuminated flight tracks crisscross the construction. The German ANSP DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung and its new subsidiary DFS Aviation Services, which was established in January 2017, showcase their double-decker stand in the World ATM Congress Exhibition Hall today. The stand was designed with the air navigation services industry in mind. “With DFS Aviation Services, we are laying the foundation for our commercial business to grow and become a thriving business in its own right, in addition to our core business financed by air navigation charges. Our goal is to double its revenues in the long term,” explained Klaus-Dieter Scheurle, Chairman and CEO of DFS. “DFS Aviation Services combines the best of both worlds: the expertise and quality standards of DFS, one of the world’s largest and most progressive air navigation service providers, and a young company with a lean structure.” DFS Aviation Services offers products and services related to all fields of air navigation. Since

1995, the commercial business was handled by a business unit of DFS called “Aeronautical Solutions.” The new company can draw on the German ANSP’s more than 60 years of experience. DFS Aviation Services is also responsible for air traffic control at regional airports in Germany. In the past, they were managed by DFS subsidiary The Tower Company, which has now been incorporated into DFS Aviation Services. With the associated UK-based Air Navigation Solutions Ltd., DFS Aviation Services is also responsible for the provision of air traffic control at London Gatwick Airport, the busiest single-runway airport in the world, and as of 2018, for air traffic control at Edinburgh Airport in Scotland. To be closer to the customers in Asia, local representative offices were established in Singapore and Beijing. A local office in the Middle East is also planned. Visit DFS and its subsidiary at Stand 834 and get to know the team of DFS Aviation Services.

As the volume of air traffic increases there’s a need to enhance system safety and efficiency. This is now possible thanks to SwiftBroadband-Safety, secure IP broadband for the flight deck. Inmarsat provides the satcom capability to meet future capacity demands and reduced separation requirements. We’re the only provider to offer a total communications, navigation and surveillance solution. Satcom has already saved airlines $3 billion to date*. SwiftBroadband-Safety, with its real-time data, will drive those savings even higher. We’re very proud of our role as a key partner to international ATM modernisation programmes.

Drones and Airports: Preventing the Inevitable

espite restrictions to keep drones away from critical airspace surrounding airports, more than 1,800 pilots reported drone sightings last year according to the FAA. As the proliferation of small drones continues, the number of incursions will continue to increase. Dozens of near misses on approach and departure, many resulting in airport closures, remind us that a drone collision is likely inevitable. But what’s the real threat? A drone could cause engine failure and damage to the fuselage, wing, etc. As authorities and regulatory bodies grapple with how to address the growing threat and maintain the current level of safety, a number of

companies are offering solutions. “It’s an air surveillance issue,” explains Anthony Albanese of Gryphon Sensors. “These small, slow, low-flying craft aren’t detectable by traditional ATC systems. Air traffic controllers need to know drones are nearby with enough reaction time to do something about it.” While rulemaking is beginning to address the UAS challenge, there currently are no systems in the NAS that reliably detect small UAS – a necessary requirement to provide even the most basic level of safety through situational awareness in critical airspace such as terminal environments. Small drones do not use universal transmission standards, but they can

fly without emitting RF signals and are about the same size as a large bird. This challenging surveillance situation requires the use of several diverse technologies to ensure full situational awareness. Gryphon Sensors Skylight™ solution uses multi-spectrum sensors to detect, track, and classify drones in scalable coverage areas. The ability to also receive and correlate ADS-B and existing ATC surveillance data offers positive confirmation of unknown aircraft in the area. With this data, controllers can properly clear the airspace and provide pertinent details to law enforcement. “Catastrophe can be avoided using easily deployable ground sensor technology,” says Albanese.

Gryphon will be one of a handful of companies to demonstrate their drone detection capability later this spring through the FAA’s Pathfinder Initiative. The companies’ prototype UAS sensor detection systems will be evaluated at FAA-selected airports. The agency and its federal government partners will work with the companies to study the effectiveness of their respective technologies, while ensuring they do not interfere with the safety and security of normal airport operations. Albanese will speak more about this emerging threat at 12.00-12.20 today in the Tower Theatre. You can also learn more by visiting the Gryphon Sensors Stand 1201.
