NLR has the knowledge, experience and simulation capabilities to develop and assess concepts for air traffic management (ATM) systems. Our expertise enables us to evaluate the feasibility of these concepts from multiple perspectives, including benefits, human performance, cost, safety, and regulatory compliance. Our experienced aviation researchers and engineers can advise and support you during the implementation of such concepts in your ATM system. Additionally, we have two research aircraft that can fly with all available types of aircraft equipment to test systems and procedures. Our knowledge about the performance and availability of current and expected future aircraft equipment of many airspace users can be translated into realistic and feasible requirements for ATC manufacturers. These requirements ensure seamless co-operation between ground and airborne equipment.
NLR can support you with:
- Enhanced air traffic control (ATC) capabilities through advanced aircraft technologies like ASAS and data link applications.
- Implementation support for advanced technologies related to on-board equipment and procedures in the ground ATM system.
- Verification testing with real aircraft to validate the correct implementation of new technologies and procedures in the ground ATM system.
- Development of tender documents for purchasing new ATC equipment that ensures interoperability with current and future aircraft equipment.
