SES – Single European Sky
 The European Commission's SES
Programme has taken on the goal
of optimising the air transport
system in Europe.
 Objectives:
- Common safety standards
- More airspace capacity
- More cost-efficient ANSPs
 Main initiatives
- Creation of functional airspace
blocks based on major traffic
flows instead of national
borders
- SESAR / Deployment Manager

Functional Airspace Block Europe Central (FABEC)
 DFS is part of FAB Europe
Central (FABEC).
 FABEC is a collaboration of
seven civil and three military
ANSPs.
 FABEC is one of the busiest
and most complex airspaces in
Europe: FABEC has 60% of all
European air traffic.
 The FABEC Treaty, which was
ratified as of 1 June 2013, is the
formal basis for this collaboration.

The FUA Concept
FUA Concept – Principles I
 With the application of the Flexible Use of Airspace Concept (FUA),
airspace is no longer designated as "civil" or "military" airspace, but
considered as one continuum and allocated according to user
requirements.
 The FUA Concept provides the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system
with the potential to increase capacity.
 The FUA Concept allows the maximum shared use of airspace
through enhanced civil/military co-ordination. The application of the
FUA Concept ensures that any airspace segregation is temporary and
based on real use for a specified time period.
DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH
Osman Saafan, 19.11.2014
20
FUA Concept – Principles II
 Conditional Routes (CDRs) – non-permanent Air Traffic Services
(ATS) routes or route-portions
 Temporary Segregated Areas (TSAs) and Temporary Reserved Areas
(TRAs) – areas temporarily reserved for the exclusive use of specific
users
 Cross-Border Areas (CBAs) – TSAs or TRAs established over
international boundaries
 Reduced Co-ordination Airspace (RCA) and Prior Co-ordination
Airspace (PCA) – procedures enabling General Air Traffic (GAT) to
operate outside the ATS route structure

Output of an AMC
The practical application of the FUA Concept relies on national
Airspace Management Cells (AMCs) for the daily allocation and
promulgation of flexible airspace structures in the Airspace Use Plan
(AUP) and Updated Use Plan (UUP), and on the Centralised Airspace
Data Function (CADF) for the dissemination of information to aircraft
operators through daily European AUP and UUPs (EAUP/EUUP).

Enhanced FUA Concept
DFS and German Air Force are executing trials and airspace projects to:
 Improve the civil and military KPA* / KPI**
 Increase flexibility for all partners
 Use the airspace more efficiently
 React to changing civil or military requirements (e.g. airspace
requirements by the EUROFIGHTER)

Airspace Policy and Civil/Military Cooperation
Objectives:

Assume responsibility as Committee for Airspace Policy according to FUA/ASM level 1

Foster and ensure a continuous development of the German Civil and Military cooperation in the area of
Air Traffic Management (ATM)

Define German national positions in the area of ATM (e.g. FABEC, SES, ICAO)

Supervise and steer Civil/Military boards coordinating the Civil/Military cooperation in the field of airspace
planning and associate procedures, CNS/ATM Systems and aeronautical Data

Conclusions
Conclusions
An effective Civil-Military Cooperation offers synergies for both partners:

MoT and MoD work together jointly and effectively in all aspects of ATC, airspace
design and usage

The “German model” of civil-military integration is a “flagship model”, is
internationally well-recognized and could serve as a “best practice model”

It stands for evolutionary, future-oriented development of ATS services

How to start …..
 Consider and decide whether you need and want to further develop your
model of civil and military cooperation.
 If yes, investigate existing models, choose your favorite (the best practice
model), which can be easily taylored to your needs.
 Develop and establish a trendsetting model of civil and military
cooperation in ATM for the region, dedicated to your specific needs.
 Agree on first common objectives with due regard and full respect to the
respective demand / necessities of involved parties/ organizations.
 Define and agree on tasks, roles and responsibilities
 Monitor, measure and fine tune the Process
 Conduct a full Review after an adequate time frame
DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH
Osman Saafan, 19.11.2014
39
How to start ….. strive for Collaborative Desicion Making (CDM)
 Set up a joined civil – military working group on airspace, maybe with a
direct reporting line to the responsible State Commission
 Identify ATS routes and airspace of interest for civil – military traffic
 Access the demand for the airspace requirements for military aircraft and for
civil traffic
 Identify and give priority to areas with a lack of capacity (bottlenecks)
 Make use of the modern technique on board the aircraft
DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH
Osman Saafan, 19.11.2014
40
How to start …
carefully, confidence-building ….
If not yet in place …
 Implement some initial „easy“ flexible structures, e.g.:
 Weekend Routes as conditional routes
 Night Routes as conditional routes
 Establish an ATM/AMC organization, e.g.:
 Level 1 (strategic): Committee on Airspace Issues
 Level 2 (pre-tactical): joint civil/military AMC (ATS Provider – Air Force)
 Level 3 (tactical): direct civil/military coordination between controllers
