Cutting the ATM systems in pieces – accelerating innovation to enable capacity growth
ATM is reaching an architectural turning point. The challenge is no longer only about adding more features - it is enabling systems to evolve fast enough to support future traffic growth, new operational concepts, and continuous innovation in a way that is flexible, scalable and resilient. The answer emerging across the industry is the Service Delivery Model (SDM): a shift from monolithic ATM systems toward decoupled, cloud-native, interoperable services. In this joint session, SESAR, DFS, and Frequentis will share the strategic vision, operational drivers, and real implementation approach behind this transformation: • SESAR (Ruben): Why SDM is becoming a cornerstone of the future ATM architecture • DFS (Morris): Why ANSPs need a fundamentally new approach to scalability and system evolution • Frequentis (Thomas): How service-oriented, cloud-native ATM systems are already becoming reality Followed by a live discussion moderated by Jindrich. This is more than a technology discussion. It is about redefining how ATM systems will be built, operated, and evolved in the decades ahead.
