This project has the initial objective of enabling that aeronautical information becomes available in a digital form, also ensuring an increased level of interoperability and quality assurance. Notably local AISP systems, and EAD are expected to undergo digitalisation digitalization and data completeness efforts to meet the expectations of CP1 in support of AF 3.1.1 and as intermediary step towards the implementation of AF 5.1.3 SWIM Services. This project contributes to accelerate the establishment of a common reference of harmonised harmonized quality-assured, interoperable and digital aeronautical information for the European network on behalf and for the stakeholders. Data originators (e.g., Airports) contributing to the provision of aeronautical information are also in the scope of this project that aims bring the benefits of digitalization and automation to the data chain.
...
To meet these objectives, processes, and tools, including those already established for local systems and EAD will be developed and/or procured to accelerate the digitalisation digitalization of aeronautical information and the provision of SWIM AIM services.
...
- AISPs will have an increased level of digitalization with more aeronautical information available in digital form. This supports AISPs in the fulfilment of applicable requirements in AF5.1.3
- Airports, AISPs and ANSPs will provide and consume SWIM AIM services as mandated by CP1 AF5.1.3
- EAD will have an increased level of digitalization with more aeronautical information available in digital form. This enables EAD to fulfil the applicable requirements of AF 3.1.1 in terms of availability of information.
- EAD will have enhanced interfaces to facilitate the exchange of information via SWIM services. This enables EAD and those AISPs who wish so to use EAD to fulfil the applicable requirements of AF5.1.3

A project management team supervising day-to-day project execution and will be gathering on a monthly basis. The project management team owns the project planning and monitors progress. The project management team reports to the project executive committee and to SDM on agreed milestones as per the project plan. The project management team coordinates with the task leaders and partner POCs.
A project plan will be developed in the first quarter of the project by the project management team. It will be used to assess progress. The project management team will organize regular meetings gathering all persons responsible for individual tasks, in order to review project progress, and monitor accomplishment of milestones.

The project under the leadership of EUROCONTROL is structured in different types of tasks that enable different stakeholders to perform different activities as part of the common project.
The tasks as depicted in the below diagram should be executed in a certain order as they depend upon each other (first digitalization activities before SWIM Service activities).
Organizations can participate in the project to any of the identified tasks, but at least contribute to the data completeness of EAD (either with task T2a or T2b).

Local Digitalisation – per partner [T1] | 1 Jan |
22 | 31 Dec |
25 | AISP information is transformed in a digital form, enhanced to ensure ‘Operational Data Completeness’, and enabling generation of AIXM 5.1 data. It may include the automation and digitalization of exchanges with AISP data providers (Airports). |
In
In the context of this task each partner will need to describe and execute the local data |
digitalization. In doing so the project expectation on digital data delivery for each contributing partner will be met. Whilst this is an individual partner effort, it is however not excluded joining effort in terms of mutual support and sharing expertise at the technical level. The rationale for this is that digital data provision and exchange will require expert level exchanges on topics and questions emerging at the local level whilst not excluding the European ATM network level viewpoint. |
Automated Exchange via EAD B2B – per partner [T2A] | 1 Jan |
22 | 31 Dec |
25 | AISP information is shared with EAD via the B2B interfaces. The information addresses ‘Operational Data Completeness’ and is in AIXM 5.1 format. |
Each partner will need to describe this task in detail when opted for as the means to provide digital data to the EAD. |
+++ we need to provide some input on what “describe” would entail +++

Digitalization via EAD HMI – per partner [T2b] | 1 Jan |
22 | 31 Dec |
25 | AISP information is transformed in a digital form via the EAD HMI, and enhanced to ensure ‘Operational Data Completeness’. |
Each partner will need to describe this task in detail when opted for as the means to provide digital data to the EAD. |

EAD SWIM Service Provision [T3a] | 1 Jan |
22 | 31 Dec |
25 | EAD is enhanced to provide the Digital NOTAM, AIFS and Aerodrome mapping SWIM services. |
EUROCONTROL will manage the migration of the EAD to provide and implement SWIM services that realize the related service definitions as elaborated within the A3SG (Aeronautical SWIM Services Subgroup) under the umbrella of the EUROCONTROL IMT working arrangement. These service definitions will cover the Digital NOTAM, AIFS and Aerodrome mapping SWIM services. |
Local SWIM Service Provision – per partner [T3b] | 1 Jan |
22 | 31 Dec |
25 | AISP systems are enhanced to provide the Digital NOTAM, AIFS and Aerodrome mapping SWIM services. |
|
Each partner will need to describe this task in detail. Each partner will manage their system evolution to provide and implement SWIM services that realize the service definitions as elaborated within the A3SG (Aeronautical SWIM Services Subgroup) under the umbrella of the EUROCONTROL IMT working arrangement. These service definitions will cover the Digital NOTAM, AIFS and Aerodrome mapping SWIM services as a minimum, not excluding additional service definitions used locally whilst conforming to the SWIM requirements at the European ATM network level. |
SWIM Service Consumption – per partner [T4] | 1 Jan |
22 | 31 Dec |
25 | The Digital NOTAM, AIFS and Aerodrome mapping SWIM services are consumed and the data they provide is used in operations. The task captures activities related to the final step in the digital transformation which is the integrated use of SWIM services in SWIM enabled applications used in operations. The burden of the task is on those consuming clients that feed from SWIM services, however this task activity is there to enable consuming IP partners to achieve the migration to a state with SWIM services being consumed. The means thereto may take multiple forms (eg. Purchase of tools, purchase of expertise, technical interchanges, etc..) |
Each partner will need to describe this task in detail. |
In addition to these tasks EUROCONTROL as project leader will set up a project management team for supervising day-to-day project execution and will be gathering on a monthly basis. The project management team owns the project planning and monitors progress. The project management team reports to the project executive committee and to SDM on agreed milestones as per the project plan. The project management team coordinates with the task leaders and partner POCs.
