AOM-0208-C — Dynamic Mobile Areas (DMA) of type 3

Dynamic mobile area (DMA) is an integral part of the MT described by a 4D data set. DMA constitutes a defined volume of airspace that satisfies specific operational requirements from different Airspace Users (AU).
There is a DMA type 3 that have been identified as aircraft centric:
DMA Type 3 is a volume of airspace of defined dimensions described as an integral part of a MT and agreed upon in a CDM process satisfying the Airspace Users requirements. This volume of airspace is designed around moving aircraft ( an aircraft centric bubble) requiring specific separation criteria based on aircraft configuration (e.g. Fighter, Tanker, Formation). The mission trajectory specific 4D dataset describing movable aircraft-centric volume of airspace will be used as an input into NM system for processing and distribution. The outcome of these processes will be an agreed and published in the NOP MT profile under specific conditions requiring extra horizontal and vertical separation criteria. The MT profile description will allow extraction of DMA 4D dataset to be used as an input into NM system for DCB and DAC processes. It will facilitate NM to optimise ATM Network configuration while minimising the impact of DMA on the expected traffic.
