Task Status

This page is part of the ongoing SWIM communities of interest discussions. The content is working material. It should not be treated as final as it is still subject to review, comment and change.

This page records the discussion on the high level description of the service offer. It focuses on understanding:

operational needs that the service contributes towards;
capabilities offered by the service;
functions used to realise the capabilities.

Operational Needs

Transversal

Collaborative information sharing is essential for decision making involving multiple actors. Automatic taxi with time and path information on the ground, collaborative decision making during emergencies, de-icing operations and infrastructure availability information are examples that involve multiple actors including the aircraft crew.

Monitor aircraft for hazardous conditions	dynamic data needed to support these digital integrated briefing concepts safe operations increases situational awareness and replaces classic textual NOTAMs and AIPs during pre-flight briefings as well as in-flight information updates	graphical representations needed to support these digital briefing concepts backdrop for dynamic layers (see SDP)
MILITARY_AIRSPACE_USER	Airspace User under the authority of a military organisation.			digital representation of ground operations
CIVIL_AIR_NAVIGATION_SERVICE_PROVIDER	Any public or private entity providing air navigation services for general air traffic.	Remote tower systems use different layers of visualization to highlight movement areas, buildings, etc. for air traffic controllers. AMD data can be used to create more accurate restricted zones for geofencing around aerodromes.	safe operations by responding to changes in the status of the infrastructure	Remote tower systems use different layers of visualization to highlight movement areas, buildings, etc. for air traffic controllers.
