The purpose of PJ.03а project is to find a solution for improved guidance of aircraft and motor vehicles on the airport surface combined with routing. PJ.03b gives a solution for enhanced airport safety nets, assisting air traffic controllers to avoid conflicts. BULATSA participates in these projects, together with LEONARDO, to share its views on the better definition of system functionalities and to support the validation of PJ.03a / PJ.03b, which took place in BULATSA between 22-26, October 2018.
