SESAR (the Single European Sky ATM Research Programme) is an ATM improvement programme involving the Aviation Players (civil and military, legislators, industry, operators, users, ground and airborne) to define, commit to and implement a pan-European ATM system and to support the Single European Sky legislation.
LINK 2000+ delivering initial, operational CPDLC fits with the Short Term IP1 SESAR timescales and functionality.

What next after LINK 2000+? |
A Data Link Implementation Roadmap proposal is being formulated to answer the questions:
- What next after LINK 2000+?
- How does it fit with SESAR?
|
|
|
The proposal targets evolution rather than revolution as the practical way forward, and has been shaped by the:
- Strategic SESAR context – Data Link and the use of trajectories being an integral part of the Master Plan;
- Status of international Data Link activities (FAA NextGEN and SC214/WG78 standards development);
- Practical experience of the Link 2000+ Programme;
- Practical constraints for the industrial development for Data Link products (in particular Flight Management Systems).

4DLINK is a proposal for the next Data Link package. It targets Initial 4D trajectories and airport services. This capability fits in Implementation Package 2 (IP2) as identified by the SESAR Master Plan.
One key feature over and above LINK 2000+ will be the integration of the Data Link communications function with the Flight Management Computer on the aircraft. This will enable the first step in the evolution towards the SESAR trajectory based concept.
