Objectives

The adoption in ATM of increasingly automated technologies, enabled by artificial intelligence, raises new challenges around liability and certification that must be addressed at the point of design. The project proposed a novel and holistic approach for the certification and approval of AI-enabled ATM airborne and ground systems, targeting EASA, national authorities and air navigation service providers. The project also developed a set of suitable design guidelines and associated toolkit for streamlining the development of automation and AI-powered technologies, targeting manufacturers. A parallel analysis of certification approaches, legal and regulatory features and critical issues of such technologies was carried out.
