EU future regulatory framework for Higher Airspace Operations (HAO): Scientific studies supporting safety, sustainability and cyber-security impact assessments-The objective of this study is to analyse the safety, sustainability and cyber- security risks triggered by Higher Airspace Operations with a view to notably define appropriate safety, environmental and cyber-security targets and design a proportionate regulatory framework. The results should include an identification of the types of risks, if possible a quantification of the level of risks and possible mitigation measures.-WERT: 743 000,00 EUR

EU future regulatory framework for Higher Airspace Operations (HAO): Study on civil Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) needs and capabilities in HAO & Study on Meteorology (MET) and space weather services for HAO-The tender includes the following two studies: Initial study on civil Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) needs and capabilities in HAO, incl. spectrum needs: This study shall analyse whether current civil CNS capabilities will still be functioning at higher altitudes (i.e. above controlled airspace) and whether they will be able to provide adequate services that are needed for higher airspace operations (e.g. high speed, long range, autonomy). The results will include the analysis, underline the limits and risks, propose possible alternative options and identify the need for regulatory amendments. Initial study on MET and space weather services for HAO : This study shall analyse the safety risks to HAO emanating from meteorological or space weather phenomena and assess whether the current MET capabilities and services, as well as current space weather services will be able to support HAO. It will propose alternative options or mitigation measures if possible, and identify necessary regulatory amendments.-WERT: 390 000,00 EUR
