SELEX Consortium fully committed into the SESAR Programme

9 March 2010 - The SELEX Consortium, formed by SELEX Sistemi Integrati SpA and SELEX Communications SpA – both Finmeccanica companies – since June 2009, has become a member of the SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) Joint Undertaking (JU), a unique public private partnership founded by European Commission and EUROCONTROL. The SESAR JU is managing the SESAR Development Phase Programme. The technological dimension of the Single European Sky (SES)  initiative will give Europe a high-performance air traffic control infrastructure which will enable the safe and environmentally friendly development of air transport.

 

The SELEX Consortium contributes in 93 of the 300 projects of the SESAR Development Phase Programme, with a total value of participation equal to €102m. The consortium is involved in the main domains and activities covered by SESAR Programme, including the design, specification and validation of En-Route and Approach ATC Systems, Airport Systems, Network Information Management Systems, non-avionics CNS Systems, Aircraft Systems, and SWIM Technical Architecture.

 

The SELEX Consortium is also involved in the operational and transversal activities foreseen in the SESAR Programme, as well as co-leading the Airport Systems, Communication Navigation Surveillance Ground Systems, and the System Wide Information Management Work-packages.
