EUROCAE Paves the Way for Alternative Technology Primary Radars The leading European organization for the development of international aviation standards has published its Technical Specification for an Independent Non-Cooperative Surveillance (INCS) System.EUROCAE, the European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment, is a body that draws together specialists from operators, air navigation service providers and suppliers to address challenges and standardize solutions for future airspace needs.

Managing cybersecurity risks in ATM in the face of digitalisation

Air Traffic Management (ATM) is undergoing a significant transformation as digital solutions are replacing paper and hard-wired systems. In order to reduce cybersecurity risks in the face of increasing digitalisation, a proactive and systematic approach must be adopted, based on sound risk management principles and practices. The ATM world is undergoing exponential change in terms of digital transformation. There are significant benefits to embracing digital solutions, but operators must also be prepared for the challenges and risks these pose, particularly when it comes to cybersecurity.

Beyond net zero: social sustainability in airspace management

By Alfie Fuller – Think Research Aviation plays a critical role in global connectivity, yet its environmental footprint is undeniable. The industry accounts for approximately 2 to 3% of global CO2 emissions, alongside non-CO2 emissions and a high dependency on fossil fuels, all of which have a negative climate impact. In response, sustainable aviation practices are becoming ever-more prevalent to increase the industry's longevity. Throughout the sector ambitious environmental targets have been set, including: The UK Civil Aviation Authority aims for net zero aviation by 2050, …
