SESAR Interview Airspace World - A universal approach to altitude measurement

Cristina Terpessi, ICARUS Project Coordinator, E-Geos and Alberto Menella, Topview discuss the ICARUS SESAR project.

The ICARUS project will develop a solution and validate in real-life environment using a new U-space service that will provide, at the strategic (flight planning) and tactical (flight execution), phases: Real-time information of vertical distance to the ground, to ensure collision avoidance, and Conversion of different altitude reference systems, to ensure vertical separation of traffic Ultimately, the project aims to develop the safest possible system for a common altitude reference system to address the needs of manned and unmanned traffic.
