The Technology Forum, on 31 March, began with a presentation from Patrick Lelievre (Airbus) looking at the 4-D Trajectory from an aircraft perspective and the enhanced automation that will result. This was followed by a presentation by Theodor Zeh (Frequentis) on the human role, highlighting the ground system aspects and comparisons with automated environments outside of ATM. Richard Houdebert from Thales gave a presentation on how the SESAR programme connects both air and ground, and, to conclude, Angelo Luca Barba, from SELEX, presented the underlying communication technology elements and the communication work being pursued across the SESAR Programme.
