Implementation: Where We Think We Will Be

The future is notoriously hard to predict and forecasters are never held to account, which is why long-term visions are so popular. What is much more difficult is to predict accurately where we will be in the immediate future, say five years. Yet that is the right timeframe for the ATM industry to be looking as this will be the critical period for implementation of significant technologies from SESAR and NextGen in particular but also from new entrants. So, what will be the status of implementation five years from now?

How closely aligned are the expectations of the major deployment programmes, the ANSPs and the suppliers for the next five years. How will that differ by regions or by maturity of individual ANSPs? What else should we be worrying about and trying to fix now?  And what exactly does that mean in terms of expectations and challenges beyond the five year period?

Moderator: Peter F. Dumont, President and CEO, Air Traffic Control Association

Speakers:
Massimo Garbini, Managing Director, SESAR Deployment Manager
Edward L. Bolton Jr., Assistant Administrator for NextGen, Federal Aviation Administration
Kevin Shum, Director General, CAAS (Singapore)
Todd Donovan, Vice President, Strategy & Marketing, Thales ATM
Neil Planzer, Vice President, Airspace Solutions - ATM, Boeing
