ASM (Airspace Management Service) SWIM (System-Wide Information Management) is a multi-stakeholder project, bringing together 20 organisations, from which 12 benefit from EU-funding, working together to ensure the timely and synchronised implementation of Common Project 1 (CP1) in line with the assumptions defined in the SESAR Deployment Program (SDP).
The aim of the project is to implement the air traffic management (ATM) functionality "AF5 - System Wide Information Management (SWIM)" and the SDP 5.3.1 subfunction concerning the exchange of aeronautical information. The target implementation date of the ASM SWIM project is December 2025.
The main task of the project is to digitalise the exchange of information in the Airspace Management Domain. The result of this action will be operational benefits resulting from the delivery of high-quality information to the right place and at the right time.
The project will enable SWIM exchanges across ASM support systems and real time exchanges of airspace status information between ASM Support System and Air Traffic Control (ATC) System, enhancing flight safety, improving civil-military ASM tactical coordination and facilitating Cross-Border Operations. This will translate into an increased airspace capacity by optimising flown trajectories and a reduction of CO2 emissions.
The ASM SWIM project has already achieved the implementation of Local Airspace Management Systems in some of the members and enabled the exchanges of digitalised Airspace Planning Information with the Network Manager. Concrete plans for implementation of the ARES service, enabling the exchanges of real-time airspace status between national Airspace Management Systems and Air Traffic Control systems have been established and will be executed in the course of 2025.
ASM SWIM is part of the CLEAN ATM project, which addresses key technological elements that have been identified as those in most urgent need of be deployed to ensure the overall efficiency and environmental sustainability of Air Traffic Management in Europe. The project enables the European-wide adoption of key CP1 elements.
