GTD has hosted the 1st annual review of the “ALICIA” project. More than 50 persons from all around Europe took place in Barcelona’s Headquarter the past 19th and 20th October 2010. ALICIA directly addresses the Vision 2020 goal of improved time efficiency in the air transportation system by developing new cockpit systems that can enable significantly more aircraft movements than is possible today. The aim within ALICIA is to develop new systems which will permit aircraft to operate in almost all weather conditions and to fly closer together at lower risk, whilst simultaneously driving down air transport delays. “ALICIA” is a research and development project funded by European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme. ALICIA aims at developing new and scalable cockpit applications which can extend operations of aircraft in degraded conditions : All Conditions Operations. ALICIA couples the latest thinking in air traffic management (SESAR) with new cockpit concepts capable of providing improved mission performance whilst also enhancing situation awareness. Thus, the two key areas of technological advance are: • All Condition Operations (ACO) system capable of delivering robust worldwide operations capability, allowing aircraft to use airports with less capable ground based approach aids, in a wider range of degraded flight conditions. • A new cockpit architecture facilitating the introduction of new cockpit technologies and applications capable of driving down crew workload whilst enhancing safety and improving crew situational awareness. In the Industrial consortium, GTD is participating together with all the major actors in European Aeronautic industrie: • AgustaWestland • Airbus • Thales • BAE Systems • Dassault Aviation • GE Aviation Systems • EADS Innovation Works • Rockwell Collins • Barco • Latecoere • Diehl Aerospace • Alenia • Saab • Aircraft Industries, a.s. • LET • CAE • Wytwornia Sprzetu Komunikacyjnego 'PZL-Swidnik' • Jeppesen GmbH • Ayesas
