Air Traffic Management

NLR has the knowledge, experience and simulation capabilities to develop and assess concepts for air traffic management (ATM) systems. Our expertise enables us to evaluate the feasibility of these concepts from multiple perspectives, including benefits, human performance, cost, safety, and regulatory compliance. Our experienced aviation researchers and engineers can advise and support you during the implementation of such concepts in your ATM system. Additionally, we have two research aircraft that can fly with all available types of aircraft equipment to test systems and procedures. Our knowledge about the performance and availability of current and expected future aircraft equipment of many airspace users can be translated into realistic and feasible requirements for ATC manufacturers. These requirements ensure seamless co-operation between ground and airborne equipment.

Royal NLR has extensive experience in operational concept development for all aspects of air traffic management (ATM), leveraging applied Research and Development to enhance ATM operations globally. With a proven track record in designing, developing, and validating new ATM concepts, procedures, and support tools, we utilise working methods based on proven international standards, such as E-OCVM and EUROCAE. Our team provides expert ATM operational knowledge, allowing us to speak your language and converse on equal terms. We maintain a clear view on your aims and focus on achievable results, with skilled experts who are able to translate desired goals into concrete solutions.
