Related Projects

The following projects are related with ISAWARE II:

ISAWARE ISAWARE was executed from Feb 1998 until August 2001. Traffic, Terrain and Weather issues, Situation Awareness, Crew Workload and Flight Safety, were all dealt with. The project was the "strategic" complement to the AWARD project in which the emphasis was more on "tactical" information presentation to the pilot.

FLYSAFE FLYSAFE started in Feb 2005 and will last until Jan 2009. The project is the "strategic" follow-on to the ISAWARE and ISAWARE II projects in which the emphasis was more on "terrain and traffic" information presentation to the pilot.

INTENT INTENT started at December 1st 2001 and will last two years. It aims at defining a road map of new technologies to increase air traffic capacity. In this context it deals with intent information presentation of other traffic in the cockpit.

AWARD AWARD was executed from June 1996 until October 1999. It dealt with terrain depiction on a PFD using database and positioning information. Both Enhanced and Synthetic cockpit displays were considered.

GASCA

GASCA was executed from September 1996 to November 1999. It aimed at defining and validating a generic scaleable computing architecture for commercial aircraft. This approach, which is in line with the new Avionics Computer Resource (ACR) concept, was considered to be further examined when defining the future Integrated Situation Awareness System (ISAS) architecture in the ISAWARE project.

MFLAME

MFLAME was executed from May 1996 to April 1999. This project focussed on the development of new techniques to improve the wake vortex detection, and the windshear assessment. The technologies that were studied in MFLAME were particularly the laser and optics techniques and the specifications of these means were the basis of the ISAWARE system definition.

TELSACS  

TELSACS is aiming at defining interoperability between ACAS and STCA (Short Term Conflict Alert). Models of ACAS developed in TELSACS will be reused in ISAWARE when building the evaluation environment.

3FMS

3FMS was executed from January 1998 to end of May 2002. This project aimed to provide new capabilities, such as separation assurance algorithms, and aimed to further develop existing capabilities such as terrain and weather databases. The simulation of technologies such as ADS-B, CPDLC and advanced Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) were used to provide useful indications of the required performance of these technologies.

WAVENC WAVENC was executed from December 1997 to November 1999. The main short-term goal of the WAVENC project was to address wake vortex encounter safety aspects. This has been achieved by developing realistic models for the wake vortex disturbance flow field and for aerodynamic forces and moments on an aircraft flying through a given wake vortex disturbance flow field. Offline and piloted wake vortex encounter simulations were held.
