A snapshot of state aircraft's on-board equipage for performance-based navigation (PBN)

State aircraft in Europe operate under either operational air traffic (OAT) or general air traffic (GAT), therefore making use of both civil and military air traffic services and infrastructure. This knowledge and data derived from it can support decision-making processes in the field of communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS).

This paper looks at data elements which support GAT-related decision-making in strategic, operational and economic domains.

An approach is to provide responses to CNS technological questions based on State aircraft's on-board capabilities by utilising flight plan data which are submitted to the Network Manager's Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System (IFPS).

Conclusions

Data analytics is key to leveraging successful aviation business continuity and helping the aviation sector navigate through challenging events and connect all stakeholders within a common platform of information sharing and services.

Ground and airborne navigation systems are a key enabler for the modernisation and restructuration of air traffic management, sustainability and service provision in Europe. In the field of civil-military navigation, a set of high-level insights can be derived from data analytics based on flight plan information.
