The rolling view of the network situation and the support to the collaborative processes is based on an information management platform, accessible online by all stakeholders for consultation, (not only passive but including dialogue opportunities) and updated as and when needed, in a secure and tailored way.

An initial implementation of the Interactive Rolling NOP was achieved through the deployment of the NOP Portal. The scope of this objective consists of the implementation of a platform that uses the state-of-the-art technologies.

This platform supports the network collaborative rolling processes from strategic to real-time operations, including capabilities for online performance monitoring integrated and feeding back into the collaborative network planning. The platform provides both a workplace tool, as well as system interfaces to allow integration in the stakeholders’ own systems. Access to information is provided in a secure way, tailored according to the stakeholders needs and subject to access control rules, so that only those who have an operational need to access particular information are able to do so.

The platform allows building the Rolling NOP through a continuous exchange between the Network Manager and the operational stakeholders.

The Target Time (TT) management is an important part of Collaborative NOP. NM systems shall be able to derive the TT from the trajectory and the constraint and adjust calculated take-off times (‘CTOT’) based on refined and agreed TTs. NM shall assess the network impact of TT proposals, facilitate the coordination process if required, and transmit (updated) CTOT/TT messages to operational stakeholders. This process will be limited to the planning phase and transmission of updated CTOT. Operational Stakeholders need to be capable of receiving and processing these TT’s.

ANSPs/AUs might foresee some adaptation of their systems for reception and handling of TTs. Where agreed, TT information will be used by flight crew and ATC in executive operations.

System requirements:

For NM:

• Provision of the NM technical platform and services for supporting collaborative NOP;
• Development of required NM B2B Services;
• Develop procedures handling the collaborative NOP updates (e.g. capacities values, runway configurations);
• Provision of TT by slot allocation and revision messages.

For ANSPs, Airports and AUs:

• Use of NM technical platform and services for supporting collaborative NOP;
• Use of the NM B2B Services (if required) for interaction with collaborative NOP;
• Develop procedures to provide updates to collaborative NOP (e.g. capacities values, runway configurations);
• Reception and handling of TT for ATFCM purposes.

NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each military authority to review this Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SLoAs that the military authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SLoAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to military authorities.
