The 2025 European Sky Vision 3x More flights in the EU skies
10x Improved safety factor
10% environmental impact reduction per flight
50% ATM costs cut
Goals More services, from ATS to APC, with different needs
ATM will totally rely on data communication
More bandwidth for airlines operation & maintenance
Strong market for PAX services
Challenges More radio systems in addition to old ones
45 MCUs & 80 Kg + antennas (without the new systems!)

Summary – SANDRA Demonstration
9 Goals: • For the lab trials the following data links are included: VDL2, L-Band, Ku-Band, AeroMACS • For the flight trials, three data links are envisioned; VDL2, L-Band, AeroMACS • Interconnection between IR, IMR, Antennas, AeroMACS and ground system will be shown • For all data links at least one exemplary application will be shown • Due to the use of legacy (VDL2, BGAN) and non-legacy (AeroMACS) also the handling of the future transition phase of systems will be shown • AeroMACS deployed at real aircraft including take-off and landing and tested at two airports • New development of ATN/OSI over VDL2 / IP (AeroMACS, SBB) stack
