ACE

The ACE (AVENUE-Compliant ESCAPE) project shall provide its parent programme (ERIS) with the next major version of ESCAPE (the current ATC real-time simulation platform at EEC).

Description

Built from previous experiences, the ACE project will upgrade the ESCAPE platform (physical component) while adopting the AVENUE architecture (logical model).
This major upgrade of ESCAPE shall particularly address the areas of:
  • Standardisation - to improve the flexibility and connectivity of the platform; and
  • Maintainability - to improve the maintenance process and quality of platform software and documentation.
The first ACE platform (ACE2002B) shall be completed by mid-2002 (A small-scale operational validation will be conducted during the first 2 weeks of September 2002). After that date, the ACE platform will enter a maintenance cycle, aligned onto the EAT one, i.e. delivering 2 versions per year. Targeted usage of the ACE platform:
  • ACE demonstration for G2G partners (with ACE2002B);
  • Gate-to-Gate baseline platform (ACE2003A); and
  • New EAT platform replacing ESCAPE (not before ACE2004A).

Objectives

Providing the next generation of ATC simulation capability (new ESCAPE platform).

Approach

Building upon previous experiences: porting ESCAPE platform onto AVENUE logical architecture.

Expected results

First version for ACE platform to be validated in a small-scale simulation during 1st half of September 2002 Products: As ESCAPE, ACE platform includes OASIS, GRD, CWP, DTL, MASS and IPAS sub-systems.
