The ACARE Strategic Research Agenda (SRA II) and its Vision 2020 foresees a doubling, if not a tripling of traffic in the 15 years to come. There is clear need for: more capacity; more efficiency; more safety.
This group stresses that ATM system will not be able to cope with this increase if no radical changes are performed. Several fields of improvement require urgent investigations: more automation for the ATM; shifting responsibilities from ground to the air.

Automation for ATM is reaching a strong barrier for many reasons: existing legacy system and difficulties for change; uncertainty and poor accuracy of data; ATCo cognitive process badly known; so far aiming at replacing the human being by the machine; poor common use of proven technologies such as Precision Area
Navigation (P-RNAV), air/ground communication facilities, airborne flight management system (FMS) already widely used by airlines.
We could imagine automation in a way of: improving air ground cooperation; reducing uncertainty (and not removing it); seeking for human being and machine cooperation.

ERASMUS project proposes an air-ground cooperative work aiming at defining and validating innovative automation and concepts of operations for the En-route phase. The goal is to propose an advanced automation while maintaining the controllers in the decision loop.
Three majors applications are proposed to be investigated: Enhanced Medium Term Conflict Detection (MTCD); “ATC autopilot”; subliminal control;

Foundations of the three proposed applications: Slight variation in aircraft speed or rate of climb can be sufficient to
prevent a latent conflict (15’ in advance a difference of some 2%, less than 10 knots, in speeds could change a “conflict” into a “non conflict”).
Such accuracies are far out of reach of the controller (perception) sensorial picking and mental computing.
Derived current cockpit autopilot enabling aircraft attitude, trajectory and level control to be delegated to the FMS (minor automatic trajectory adjustment not always perceivable by the pilot), in the ATC domain.
Derived from ERATO, in addition with the integration of more accurate data (FMS based), ATCo cognitive processes to be considered for providing better and more accurate aircraft conflict/problem information.

The innovation is: to enrich MTCD information with ATCo cognitive logic and more accurate
trajectory prediction; to use existing and proven air/ground data-link facilities.
To provide aircraft conflicts/problems information taking into account the most accurate data, and the controller cognitive processes.

The innovation is: to use the machine to solve conflict; to be able to overwrite any subliminal changes at any time: keep ultimate control; not to conflict with ATCo and pilot own actions and responsibilities; to use existing and proven air/ground data-link facilities and to transform the
current “open loop” into a “closed loop” ATC - computer-to-computer clearances delivery.
To delegate “subliminal” problem resolution actions to the machine on case by case basis (under the control of the human being)

The innovation is: to use the machine not to solve conflict but to de-conflict the air situation (advanced
MSP function with automatic and minor adjustments); to apply changes not directly perceivable by the human being; to be able to overwrite any subliminal changes at any time: keep ultimate control; not to conflict with ATCo and pilot own actions and responsibilities; to use existing and proven air/ground data-link facilities and to transform the
current “open loop” into a “closed loop” ATC - computer-to-computer clearances delivery.
The subliminal control could automatically “remove” conflict by minor alterations of the speeds or rate of climb with no human being intervention

Project objectives will be materialised by: Definition of concepts of operations for the air and ground sides; Definition of the operational scenarios (advanced tools, working
methods); Detailed specification and design of the prototype (advanced tools,
working methods); Definition of the validation plan and experimental plan (E-OCVM
applied); Assessment and refinement of the hypothesis and proof of concept in
term of safety, efficiency, capacity, security and economy; Clearly identified quantified benefits in safety, efficiency, capacity,
security, economy; Identification of the transition issues and implementation plan.

A better knowledge of the air and ground trajectory prediction: assessing if the spectacular accuracy of GPS and CNS capabilities would increase the accuracy of the knowledge of the past/present positions and speeds of an aircraft; knowing the statistical distribution of the position forecasts and defining the required accuracy and integrity of the positions prediction.
An ATC Modelling assessment: using the air and ground data accuracy results, an ATC mathematical model should evaluate the ability to a priori estimate for each case the probability of success of the trajectory prediction and the proportion of successful subliminal action.
Safety: assessing the “safety” of the automated processes themselves and of any subset, since it would be impossible to rely on any real time return back to the controller of any such transferred responsibility.
Working methods and modus operandi (for subliminal control, ATC autopilot, and enhanced MTCD): considering cognitive needs and data accuracy capabilities, defining working methods and tools specifications.

What are the meteorological prediction capabilities? What are the aircraft speed margins of manoeuvre and constraints? What are the trajectory performance between the air and the ground? How to use a better FMS trajectory prediction capabilities in order to
decrease the number of real conflicts and at which time horizon? How to use the controller cognitive model and technology capabilities to
support different applications? How to present the relevant traffic situation information (conflict detection) in
accordance with the controller cognitive model? How these new capabilities will allow to increase the ATC sector capacity? What is the safety impact of such applications in order to define nominal and
degraded mode ? Which mode are acceptable to a controller and a pilot ? What are the other impacts (efficiency, cost-benefits)?
