New platform will permit seamless validation across ATC and ATFCM. / EUROCONTROL’s Experimental Centre has successfully completed the first integration tests of a unique and innovative validation platform capable of performing seamless assessments of new concepts across both air traffic flow & capacity management (ATFCM) and air traffic control (ATC) domains. The new platform will integrate the Centre’s INNOVE ATFCM and ESCAPE ATC real-time simulators to create a validation platform that will enable joint ATFCM and ATC simulation exercises, drawing on a coherent traffic and airspace picture. This will permit innovative concepts that cross the full ATM lifecycle to be validated by the relevant actors.
