NextGenSESAR
NextGenSESAR is a proposed cross-Atlantic framework intended to align the United States’ NextGen program with Europe’s SESAR modernization efforts in air traffic management. The concept envisions harmonized standards, shared operational concepts, and interoperable data exchanges to enable seamless cross-border operations, particularly on transatlantic routes, while preserving safety and national regulatory requirements.
The framework would involve key stakeholders from both regions, including the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, EUROCONTROL,
Core ambitions cover several domains. A common data environment and architecture, akin to a SWIM-based information-sharing
Implementation would proceed in phases, starting with joint architecture and standards development, followed by pilot demonstrations
