inter-centre telephony Start:01/2013 Finish:12/2020
Action by : ANS Providers
Description & purpose : Upgrade and put into service voice communication systems which support VoIP inter-centre telephony which will enable the deployment of system enablers listed in -References- section. The tasks to be done are as follows:
- Define requirements which fit with operational/technical context and are based on relevant standards; - Upgrade voice communication systems to comply with defined requirements;
- Implement or purchase IP network services to enable international communication exchange on IPS based protocol; - Purchase and install VCS equipment and/or gateways able to support VoIP in ATM;
- Implement the necessary IPv4/IPv6 translation device if required; - Test voice required connectivity and performance;
- Update VoIP addressing information in the EUROCONTROL AGVN web-database; - Verify compliance with Interoperability Regulation(s);
- Integrate upgraded voice communication systems into the EATM Network; - Put into service upgraded voice communication systems.
The upgraded voice communication systems and their HMI shall enable the operators to perform the inter-centre communication using VoIP telephony at all types of ATS units.
Report yearly the actual achieved performance for implemented VoIP in ATM to the EUROCONTROL Agency.

Implement Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) techniques for environmental improvementsREG ASP MIL APO USE INT IND
ESSIP Plan Edition 2012
Description & purpose
When applied at an airport, CDA would offer a flexible and simple continuous descent approach technique that does not adversely affect safety and capacity and will produce a number of environmental and cost benefits including reductions to fuel burn, gaseous emissions and noise impact.
Note:Since the publication of ICAO Doc 9931, the term Continuous Descent Operations (CDO) has generally replaced the term CDA (Continuous Descent Approach). However, the terms CDO - CDA are interchangeable and should be read and understood in the same context. For simplicity, the term CDA will be retained for this objective.
Applicable area(s) Operational capability dates FOR THIS OBJECTIVE
