NM’s current operational systems have for over 25 years enabled EUROCONTROL to manage successfully the European network, displaying in that time unparalleled reliability and resilience. However, they are now reaching their technical limits in terms of performance and agility, at a time of ever-growing business challenges in terms of new business capabilities, emerging regulatory requirements, and technological evolutions.
iNM will call on the industry to develop solutions in close partnership with EUROCONTROL and its partners, resulting in a scalable solution that meets NM’s performance requirements for decades to come.
At the heart of iNM will be advanced capabilities and new services that support the evolution of operational concepts over the next decade and beyond, encompassing:
- enterprise architecture;
- agile development;
- artificial intelligence and machine learning;
- big data and data analytics;
- probability modelling;
- predictive analysis;
- cloud solutions;
- scalable systems;
- cyber resilience.
iNM will enable NM to transform its business services, resulting in three key deliverables:
- a single Flight Manager system that seamlessly manages both flight and flow domains;
- a unique dynamic Airspace System that eliminates overlaps and inconsistencies between legacy systems and databases;
- one API for internal and external Human Machine Interfaces.
