ATFCM is coordinated at network level by the Network Manager and at local level by the flow management position to support hot-spot detection, execution of Short-Term ATFCM Measures (STAM), network assessment and continuous monitoring of network activity. STAM is established requiring coordination between Air Traffic Control, Airport, Airspace Users and Network Manager.

Tactical capacity management using STAM shall ensure a close and efficient coordination between ATC and the network management function. Tactical capacity management shall implement STAM using cooperative decision-making to manage flow before flights enter a sector.

Additional tasks relevant to the STAM scope should encompass:

• utilisation of approved STAM concept of operations;
• development of operational guidance documentation;
• development of training package;
• development of harmonized operational procedures.

ANSP, AU and airport will apply harmonized operational procedures, taking into account the STAM prerequisites such as the traffic information and flight predictability.
Airspace Users should at minimum update their flight plans, manage the slot and the mandatory rerouting, but could also provide simple priorities, participate to CDM process, manage rerouting proposal.

System requirements:

NM systems shall implement the STAM functionalities and shall support the coordination of STAM measures implementation, including Network Impact assessment capabilities.

The STAM tool should include occupancy traffic monitoring values (OTMV), hotspot detection and coordination. The enhancements should mainly focus on:

• enhanced monitoring techniques (including hotspot management and complexity indicators);
• coordination systems (including interfaces with local tools);
• what-if function (local measures, flight-based, flow-based and multiple measure alternative);
• network impact assessment.

ANSP and AU shall use either the NM-provided STAM application or may deploy local tools, which shall interact with the NM systems using SWIM services, when and where available, at the latest by December 2025.

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.
