from requirement to solution

WMO RA VI
EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON METEOROLOGY
FOR AVIATION
FROM REQUIREMENT TO SOLUTION
October 2015
André Weipert
SESAR Programme Manager, Selex ES Germany
INTRODUCTION
• The title of the presentation is “From Requirement to Solution”
• Solution is not meant as „SESAR Solution“.
• The presentation will outline the generic evolution from the
SESAR requirements to the industry solution.
• The presentation does not intend to be representative for all
SESAR Industrial members.
• Anyway, we deem the presentation potentially representative
since it reflects our condensed view of being a SESARian since
more than 7 years.

FROM ATM MODERNIZATION PROGRAM TO ASBUS
• The GANP represents the
strategic methodology.
• Europe: The European ATM
Master Plan outlines the
essential operational and
technological changes to
achieve the European SES.
• The ASBUs form the
structured approach
providing a basis for sound
investment strategies and
will generate transversal
commitment.

BUSINESS CASE: GWMS
• GWMS means: Ground Weather Monitoring System
(SESAR WP 15.4.9).
• Provision of short term horizon (max 2h) observations.
• Provides multi sensor fusion (in-situ and remote sensing).
• Fusion with large scale observations and very short term
forecasts.
• Foreseen to include aircraft derived MET observations.
• Translation according to local requirements.
• Alerts can be delivered to end-users via MET-GATE
(SWIM node) or SWIM compliant service as blue profile
(short latency subscribed alerts).
• GWMS is aligned to the SESAR MET Technical
Architecture (TAD 11.02.01) and 11.02.01 MET
requirements.

•
The system shall collect wind speed aloft vertically resolved: mean wind speed in
500 ft intervals up to 2000 ft above ground level, and in 1000 ft intervals above up
to 5000 ft above ground level in support of the execution phase at the aerodrome.
The system shall collect data on cloud base height, averaged over less than 10
minutes in support of the execution phase at the aerodrome.
The system shall collect information on precipitation type [rain, snow, freezing rain,
showers…].
The system shall collect information on convective activity within a locally defined
area (default value 120 miles radius around the airport): i.e. thunderstorm/CB cell
activity/lightning data in text form, including type and alignment of
thunderstorm/CB activity.
The system shall collect information on wind shear in the final approach of each
runway direction in support of the execution phase at the aerodrome.
The system shall collect information on surface headwind and gusts for all runway.
directions in support of the execution phase at the aerodrome.
The system shall collect data on sand storm in support of the execution phase at
the aerodrome.
The system shall generate a product for volcanic ash in support of the execution
phase at the aerodrome.

LESSONS LEARNED
• Diversified requirements do need an individual (=aerodrome specific)
MET sensor mix providing coherent and combined MET information.
• The translation chain of operational requirements to innovative sensor
technologies for individual sensor suites and corresponding MET fusion
algorithms leading to harmonized services is key.
• The circular dependency between operational ATM requirements and
MET requirements needs to be considered and can be tackled by close
collaboration and multi-lateral discussion.
• The sustainability of industrial MET solutions can be elevated by active
participation in the dialogue of the operational requirement definition
(OFA). Understanding of operational processes is key.
• The implementation shall follow an agile methodology.
• It is essential to understand how to deal with uncertainty. Ensemble
based weather forecast would need ensemble based planning as well.
• Communication, perception and mitigation are key.
• Lateral thinking is key.

CONCLUSION & FUTURE
• Weather services and industrial solution providers co-exist and
are complementary to each other.
• Industrial cooperation elevates the value of the meteorological
service content. The implementation of Europe‘s first co-located
3D LLWAS system (at Frankfurt and Munich airports)
demonstrate innovative performance. There is a need to boost
performance based MET.
• The system architecture of the 4DWxCube enables the service
oriented approach for MET information. The 4DWxCube is a
(virtual) repository of shared consistent and translated
meteorological information, produced by multiple MET service
providers.
• Consolidation of MET information is crucial.
