Development of an Advanced Digital Airspace Management System

The agency faces challenges in managing and coordinating air traffic, including handling flight requests, ensuring safety, and providing timely aeronautical information. Existing systems require modernization to improve responsiveness, usability, and integration, while maintaining security standards vital for safe airspace operations.

A government agency responsible for air navigation services aiming to enhance airspace safety and operational efficiency through digital solutions.

• Design and implement a secure, responsive, and user-friendly digital system to streamline BSP flight planning, request processing, and airspace coordination.
• Develop an intuitive user interface that maintains high usability across multiple devices and user roles.
• Integrate the new system seamlessly with existing operational solutions and mobile applications.
• Enhance safety procedures by enabling real-time assessment of flight requests considering terrain, airspace occupancy, weather, and operational restrictions.
• Improve decision-making efficiency and reduce the risk of airspace incidents through better data management and communication features.

• Electronic creation and management of digital flight plans for BVLOS and VLOS operations.
• Integration of operational data related to operators, permissions, and UAV (drone) information.
• Request submission and approval workflows for airspace utilization.
• Assessment tools for flight request viability based on terrain, weather, and current airspace conditions.
• An intuitive, responsive user interface optimized for multiple devices, ensuring usability and accessibility.
• Real-time data visualization of airspace occupancy and operational restrictions via mapping tools.

• Existing government-operated operational and safety systems
• Mobile applications for field data collection and operational updates
• Weather data services
• Airspace monitoring and terrain data APIs

• System must be secure and compliant with aviation safety standards
• High availability with 99.9% uptime to ensure continuous operation
• Scalability to support increasing volumes of flight requests and data
• Responsive performance with minimal latency for real-time monitoring
• Data integrity and accuracy to support safety decision-making

The implementation of this digital airspace management system is expected to significantly improve operational efficiency, safety, and decision-making capabilities. It aims to streamline flight request processing, enhance situational awareness, and reduce airspace incident risks, ultimately leading to more efficient and safer air traffic operations with an estimated impact of improving response times and reducing operational errors.
