Led by Eskişehir Technical University, ATMACA aims to improve air-ground communication, which is crucial for the end-to-end air traffic management concept. It requires seamless integration of current, future, and emerging communication networks. The kick-off was a successful blend of technical and managerial discussions, accompanied by social activities that fostered team spirit.

One year into the project, this meeting offered a valuable opportunity to review progress, and align on upcoming milestones. Key discussions centered around addressing critical challenges and refining the strategic direction for the next phases, particularly on solutions for connected ATFM/ATM and Deep RL Architecture & Human-AI Teaming.

The project aims to develop three AI-based solutions to ensure safe and efficient tower operations. ENAC, in partnership with Airbus Defence and Space, is contributing to Solution 2, which involves creating a digital assistant for ATC (Air Traffic Control) conflict resolution.

The objective of EUREKA SESAR 3 Fast Track project is to make Urban Air Mobility (UAM) a reality by ensuring the safe and efficient integration of vertiports – defined areas that support the take-off and landing of eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft – into European airspace. By creating an integrated vertiport ecosystem, the EUREKA project is helping ensure an exciting future for innovative air mobility in Europe.
