ECHO Phase 3 European Concept For Higher Altitude Operations HAO Service Provider concept Space Transport
Operations New Entrants Supersonic Hypersonic Suborbital HAPS
Abstract *
STRATUS (Safety and Transformed Resilience for High-Altitude Traffic Unified Services) will define a modular and scalable framework
for integrating Higher Airspace Operations (HAO) and Space Transport Operations (STO) into the European ATM framework. The focus
is on the low-density airspace above conventional traffic, generally above flight level FL550. This is where high-performance
supersonic and hypersonic aircraft, automated High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) fleets, and sub-orbital operations are expected
to multiply in the coming decade.
Building on the exploratory CONOPS produced in the ECHO project, and taking into account the work now underway in ECHO2,
STRATUS will expand the scope to cover a wider set of operational scenarios, vehicle types and service models. It will address the
operational, functional, technical and regulatory foundations required for integration, in line with the priorities of the European ATM
Master Plan for higher-airspace operations, dynamic airspace configuration, service-oriented architectures and cyber-secure
digitalisation. Concentrating on the higher airspace, where traffic density is relatively low, provides the opportunity to mature and
validate innovative concepts and technologies while limiting operational risk to existing ATM.
The objectives of STRATUS follow a logical progression from establishing operational demand in higher airspace, through the
development of concepts and supporting frameworks, to the consideration of regulatory and other relevant implications that may
influence successful implementation.

List of up to 5 publications, widely-used datasets, software, goods, services, or any other achievements relevant to the call content.
Type of achievement Short description (Max 500 characters)
Other achievement
As a founding member of the SESAR Programme and Joint Undertaking, EUROCONTROL has
been involved in all the phases (Definition, Development and Deployment) contributing
significantly to many of its most important achievements, such as the definition and
maintenance of the European ATM Master Plan, the SESAR 3 Strategic Research and
Innovation Agenda and a large number of Solutions delivered in the context of the SESAR 1
and SESAR 2020.
Dataset
The EUROCONTROL Base of Aircraft Data (BADA) Aircraft Performance Model (APM) is a
globally recognized reference database containing aircraft-specific coefficients and
theoretical models used to calculate aircraft performance parameters.
Service
The EUROCONTROL Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) permanently monitors the
airspace capacity against traffic load. This allows us to have an accurate picture of the current
and expected European ATM network situation. To ensure the transparent and efficient
operation of the network, we collect all of the real-time data generated by the network and
share it with all operational partners through our Data Collection and Distribution Services
(DCS and DDS).
Service
At the EUROCONTROL NMOC we measure, investigate and report on operational processes
and activities throughout all domains relevant to Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management.
All stakeholders provide feedback on the efficiency of the flight planning and airspace data
processing. We compare forecasts with the actual measured outcome in terms of delay and
route extension, while taking into account performance targets. This helps us improve the
performance of the European ATM Network.
List of up to 5 most relevant previous projects or activities, connected to the subject of this proposal.
Name of Project or Activity Short description (Max 500 characters)

List of up to 5 publications, widely-used datasets, software, goods, services, or any other achievements relevant to the call content.
Type of achievement Short description (Max 500 characters)
Publication
Cooperative, Seamless, and Global Digital Skies for Higher Airspace : The purpose of the paper
is to assist the aviation and aerospace global communities in understanding an industry
perspective and vision for a global harmonized, cross-border, and integrated Higher Airspace
Operations Traffic Management, which supports the seamless integration of highly
automated operations.
Publication
HAPS Certification Pathways: The purpose of this document is to identify the key challenges
faced by the High Altitude Platform System (HAPS) community in getting regulatory approval
to start commercial operations and recommended actions that the HAPS Alliance can take to
address these challenges. Operational challenges are covered only from the perspective of the
potential impact they have on air vehicle performance.
Publication
Acceptable Levels of Risk for HAPS : This paper discusses setting acceptable levels of risk for
High Altitude Platform System (HAPS). It discusses the safety metrics traditionally used in
aviation are not adequate to establish target levels of safety for HAPS. Then it proposes to set
acceptable levels of risk to be consistent with the risk already accepted by the exposed parties.
Then it proposes a framework by which an operator self-manages the collective risk it
generates.

1. Excellence #@REL-EVA-RE@#
1.1 Objectives and ambition #@PRJ-OBJ-PO@#
Project objectives
STRATUS (Safety and Transformed Resilience for High-Altitude Traffic Unified Services) will define a modular
and scalable framework for integrating Higher Airspace Operations (HAO) and Space Transport Operations (STO)
into the European ATM framework. The focus is on the low-density airspace above conventional traffic, generally
above FL550. This is where high-performance supersonic and hypersonic aircraft, automated HAPS fleets, and
sub-orbital operations are expected to multiply in the coming decade.
Building on the exploratory CONOPS produced in ECHO and taking into account the work now underway in
ECHO2, STRATUS will expand the scope to cover a wider set of operational scenarios, vehicle types and service
models. It will address the operational, functional, technical and regulatory foundations required f or integration, in
line with the priorities of the European ATM Master Plan for higher -airspace operations, dynamic airspace
configuration, service-oriented architectures and cyber -secure digitalisation. Concentrating on the higher airspace,
where traffic density is relatively low, provides the opportunity to mature and validate innovative concepts and
technologies while limiting operational risk to existing ATM.
The objectives of STRATUS follow a logical progression from establishing operational demand in higher airspace,
through the development of concepts and supporting frameworks, to the consideration of regulatory and other
relevant implications that may influence successful implementation. The specific objectives are:
a) Market and stakeholder study
Carry out an updated market and stakeholder study early in the project to establish the foundation for higher-
airspace integration. The study will identify expected airspace users, including HAPS fleets, hypersonic
transports, space transport operations such as orbital launches, sub-orbital flights and re-entries, and relevant
military activities. It will assess expected traffic levels, operational profiles and timelines for entry into
service, providing a realistic picture of higher-airspace occupancy. The results will provide the baseline for
the OSED and CONOPS and ensure that subsequent work is grounded in operational reality. The study will
complement the ongoing HAO market study by EASA by including space transport operations, which can
have a major impact on airspace availability , and therefore this study will deliver a more comprehensive
assessment of overall higher-airspace demand.
b) Higher-airspace CONOPS
Develop an updated CONOPS describing how HAO and STO are integrated into the ATM network in
practice. The CONOPS will identify the main functions required, such as trajectory exchange, conflict
detection, separation, hazard area coordination and contingency response, and map them to potential services

with clearly defined interfaces. It will describe how these services interact with ANSPs, operators, military
authorities and STO actors, ensuring that launches, re-entries and hazard areas are managed consistently with
the wider ATM network. Building on the exploratory ECHO CONOPS, STRATUS will focus on producing
an updated and innovative framework that moves beyond initial scoping and provides a structured basis for
future implementation.
c) STO integration and hazard area management
Define the functions and services required for hazard area generation, promulgation, and dynamic
management. This includes processes for creating and updating hazard areas, how they are exchanged with
ANSPs and operators, and how they interact with 4DOZ concepts. Contingency procedures for off-nominal
launches or re-entries will be addressed, together with the responsibilities of different service providers.
d) Dynamic 4-Dimensional Operating Zones for HAPS (4DOZ)
Extend the 4DOZ concept introduced in ECHO2 by explaining how these zones can operate in relation to
other airspace users and how they can be integrated into higher airspace within the European ATM network.
Particular attention will be given to HAPS operations, which may involve long endurance flights, large
formations, or fleets with unique operational profiles. The project will specify the functions for creating,
resizing and coordinating zones, describe how they can be delivered as services, and outline which providers
would be responsible for their management.
e) Service architecture framework
Outline a modular, digital ( Application Programming Interface (API) based), distributed architecture that
supports the deployment of higher -airspace functions as interoperable services. The framework will apply
zero-trust security, where no user or service is trusted by default and every interaction is authenticated,
authorised and monitored. Redundancy and digital authorisation mechanisms will be built in, allowing States
to maintain control of services within their jurisdiction while still supporting resilient and secure cross-border
operations.
f) Integrated assurance framework
Develop a conceptual methodology that brings safety, cyber -security and resilience together in a single
assurance process. The framework will show how requirements in these areas are linked, how evidence can
be reused across domains, and how the approach c an be exercised through expert review and small desk -
based studies. The aim is to provide a practical way of checking that higher-airspace functions and services
are robust without creating three separate sets of assurance work.
g) Regulatory and implementation considerations
Consider the regulatory and operational issues that will influence the implementation of higher -airspace
services for all users. Areas to be considered include flight rules, licensing and supervision of new service
providers, sovereignty and cross -border o perations, military use of higher airspace, contingency
responsibilities and environmental aspects. STRATUS will review these topics and provide commentary on
their relevance to successful implementation, highlighting where regulatory developments may be n eeded.
The findings will be reflected in an annex to the CONOPS and presented as input to inform further regulatory
and implementation work.
Collectively, these objectives move beyond the initial scoping in ECHO and expand on the ongoing activities in
ECHO2. Whereas ECHO established a first (comparatively narrow) CONOPS at TRL 2, STRATUS will broaden
the scope and then consolidate the results back to a comprehensive TRL 2 by project close. This provides a more
complete and implementation -oriented baseline for higher -airspace integration. In this way, STRATUS ensur es
continuity with existing SESAR work while delivering outputs that are ready to s upport future industrial research
and the priorities of the European ATM Master Plan.

Ambition and advance beyond the state of the art
Previous SESAR work has established useful foundations for higher-airspace integration but important gaps remain.
ECHO delivered an initial CONOPS at TRL 2, providing the first structured view of higher -airspace operations.
ECHO2 is continuing this line of work but remains in progress and has not yet addressed service architectures,
assurance methods or regulatory considerations. Other projects have contributed in related areas, including SEC -
AIRSPACE on cyber security, FARO on resilience metrics, and FCDI on distributed service provision, but none
have combined these elements into a coherent framework tailored for higher-airspace operations and space transport.
STRATUS advances the state of the art by:
a) Establishing a framework for network -wide consistent management of higher-airspace and space transport
operations, ensuring that new entrants are integrated as part of a coherent Europe -wide system rather than
through fragmented national solutions. This reflects the Master Plan ambition of a Digital European Sky that
manages all users seamlessly across borders.
b) Embedding zero -trust, cyber -resilient principles into operational concepts and service architectures,
consistent with the Master Plan’s call for secure digitalisation of ATM services.
c) Providing flexible and dynamic airspace management through 4DOZ, adaptable to traffic mix, vehicle
performance and network conditions, which directly supports the Master Plan priority on dynamic airspace
configuration.
d) Enhancing resilience of higher -airspace services against disruptive events such as health crises, natural
disasters, terrorism and cyber-attacks. STRATUS will explore how resilience requirements can be defined
for new functions and services, building on and extending beyond previous SESAR work.
e) Creating a unified assurance methodology that brings safety, cyber security and resilience into a single
process, reflecting the Master Plan priority on strengthening resilience of ATM services against physical and
cyber threats.
f) Delivering an interoperable distributed architecture that supports a European network of higher -airspace
services in which States retain sovereignty, but solutions can be reused across borders. This contributes to
the Master Plan objective of introducing service -oriented architectures that allow scalability and
harmonisation across Europe.
By consolidating these strands at TRL 2, STRATUS provides a more comprehensive and implementation -oriented
baseline than any previous exploratory research. It ensures that the integration of new entrants such as HAPS,
hypersonic and space transport vehicle s is addressed in line with the development priorities of the European ATM
Master Plan.
R&I maturity
The work will begin at TRL 1–2, building on the exploratory CONOPS delivered in ECHO. STRATUS broadens the
scope to include additional vehicle types, STO interactions, hazard area management, dynamic 4DOZ, service
architectures and assurance methods. This wider scope temporarily lowers maturity, and the project will consolidate
these strands back to a comprehensive TRL 2 by project close.
By the end of the project, concepts, architectures and frameworks will be fully defined, documented and validated
through expert review, stakeholder consultation and targeted desk -based analysis. Where appropriate, small -scale
studies will be used to test specific elements such as hazard area coordination or cyber-resilience principles. No large-
scale simulations or flight trials are foreseen, in line with the scope of an Exploratory Research project.

1.2 Methodology #@CON-MET-CM@# #@COM-PLE-CP@#
STRATUS begins by establishing who is expected to operate in higher airspace, through the development of
operational concepts and technical frameworks, to the assessment of assurance and consideration of regulatory
aspects. Each stage builds on the previous one so that by project close the results form a coherent package
consolidated at TRL 2.
Initially a market and stakeholder study will be performed to establish a baseline picture of higher-airspace demand.
This provides traffic expectations and operating characteristics that underpin the later concept work. On this basis
STRATUS develops an updated CONOPS and OSED. These describe how higher -airspace and space transport
operations can be integrated into the ATM network, define the required functions, map them to potential services,
and explain how they interact with ANSPs, operators, military authorities and space transport actors. Special attention
is given to STO integration and hazard area management, and to extending the 4DOZ concept from ECHO2 to show
how dynamic zones can operate in relation to other higher airspace users and the European ATM network.
The project then looks at how these functions could be deployed within a modular, service-oriented architecture. This
includes interoperability through digital APIs, redundancy, digital authorisation and the application of zero -trust
security principles to maintain resilience in distributed and cross-border settings. A conceptual integrated assurance
framework will also be developed, linking safety, cyber securit y and resilience into a single process. This will be
reviewed by experts and exercised through desk-based studies.
Finally, STRATUS examines the regulatory and implementation aspects that could affect higher -airspace services.
These considerations may include flight rules, licensing, sovereignty, contingency planning and environmental
impacts. The focus will be on analysing relevance and potential effects rather than prescribing solutions.
The research is structured around two work packages that cover the exploratory and consolidation phases. Each
reflects one reporting period, in line with SESAR guidance for Exploratory Research projects. This structure ensures
that early definitions and scoping are completed and reviewed before more detailed frameworks are developed.
Part A (WP3, M1–M12) sets the foundation. It begins with the market and stakeholder study that establishes who is
expected to operate in higher airspace in the coming decade, covering HAPS fleets, hypersonic transport, space
transport operations such as orbital launches, sub-orbital flights and re-entries, and relevant military activities. This
study produces traffic profiles, operating characteristics and entry-into-service timelines that serve as the baseline for
the concept work.
Building on this baseline, Part A defines the operational context. It sets the vertical limits, classes and flight rules for
higher airspace, identifies the main functions required for integration, and describes the actors involved. These
include service providers, operators, regulators, airports, spaceports, stratoports and military authorities. The package
also reviews existing ICAO, European and SESAR documentation to identify overlaps, gaps and inconsistencies.
The initial set of functional building blocks is then described. This covers surveillance, communications, navigation,
mission planning, tactical planning and separation where applicable. Early models of 4DOZ are outlined, showing
how dynamic zones might i nteract with other high -altitude users. These elements are captured in the Exploratory
Research Plan, the market study and the initial OSED and CONOPS.
Part B (WP4, M13–M24) builds on these foundations and delivers the main technical results. It refines the functional
building blocks and develops detailed service concepts, extending the 4DOZ models to include coordination
mechanisms, contingency procedures, degraded mode operations and civil–military use.
The project then maps these functions into a high -level architecture framework. This framework applies modular,
service-oriented principles, ensures interoperability through APIs, and incorporates zero -trust cyber security,
redundancy, and sovereign control. The mapping of functions to services and interfaces provides a consistent basis
for future technical development.

Part B - Page 6 of 34
Alongside this, Part B develops a conceptual integrated assurance framework that brings safety, cyber security and
resilience together in a single process. The framework is exercised through expert review and desk -based studies,
demonstrating how assurance evidence could be captured once and reused across domains.
Finally, Part B considers standardisation and regulatory aspects. The concepts developed are mapped against existing
ICAO, European and national regulations and standards. Areas where clarification or updates may be needed are
highlighted, including sovere ignty, licensing, contingency and environmental considerations. This commentary
provides input for later SESAR phases and regulatory work.
The outputs of Part B include the FRD, final OSED and CONOPS, the Exploratory Research Report, an economic
evaluation, and a commentary on regulatory and implementation issues.
The research is supported by WP1 on project management and by WP2 and WP5 on communication, dissemination
and exploitation. These ensure that results are shared effectively and that open science and FAIR data principles are
followed. They are described in more detail under Implementation.
Methodological challenges and mitigation
A key challenge for higher -airspace research is the absence of operational data. There are no mature fleets of
hypersonic aircraft or routine space transport missions from Europe today, and HAPS operations remain limited.
STRATUS addresses this by using a market and stakeholder study to construct realistic traffic profiles and operating
characteristics. These are complemented by desk-based analysis and expert input, which together provide sufficient
grounding for concept development without relying on unavailable data.
Another challenge lies in the regulatory domain. Questions of sovereignty, licensing, contingency responsibility and
environmental protection are politically sensitive and outside the remit of a research project to resolve. STRATUS
therefore does not attem pt to prescribe solutions. Instead, it documents how these issues affect ATM integration,
highlights dependencies and risks, and provides commentary that can inform future regulatory and industrial work.
The maturity level is also a constraint. STRATUS is scoped to reach TRL 2, which is appropriate for Exploratory
Research. The project is not designed to deliver prototypes or flight demonstrations. Instead, validation is achieved
through expert review, stakeholder consultation and small targeted studies where feasible. This ensures that results
are realistic and technically sound, while leaving space for later industrial research to develop prototypes and
operational trials.
Finally, integrating perspectives from operations, system architecture, cyber security and resilience introduces
complexity. STRATUS mitigates this through an iterative process, where definitions established early in Part A are
used to guide the service and architecture concepts in Part B. This ensures consistency across operational, technical
and regulatory strands and reduces the risk of fragmentation.
Validation approach
Validation in STRATUS is tailored to the scope of an exploratory research project. The aim is to confirm that the
concepts and frameworks developed are credible, feasible, and aligned with operational and regulatory realities,
rather than to demonstrate them in live systems.
The primary method will be structured expert review, involving regulators, ANSPs, operators and other stakeholders
with direct knowledge of higher -airspace operations. Their feedback will be used to assess whether the proposed
functions, services and frameworks are consistent with operational needs and institutional constraints.
Targeted stakeholder workshops will provide additional opportunities to test assumptions and refine the outputs.
These workshops will be used to present draft concepts such as hazard area management or 4DOZ coordination, and
to capture reactions from operational and regulatory perspectives.

Part B - Page 7 of 34
Scenario-based analysis will be applied where a more detailed check is useful, for example to explore how a dynamic
zone interacts with conventional traffic or how contingency procedures might unfold in a cross-border setting. These
analyses will be desk-based and scoped to remain within available resources.
No large-scale simulations or flight trials are planned, which is consistent with the scope of an Exploratory Research
project. Where feasible, partial proof-of-concept studies may be carried out to illustrate specific technical ideas, and
any software artefacts produced will be open-sourced to support future research.
Compliance with cross-cutting requirements
Do No Significant Harm (DNSH).
The project does not involve physical systems, prototypes, or flight trials. All activities are desk -based, relying on
literature, modelling, and expert review. There are no emissions, no resource use, and no waste generated by the
research itself. Environmental aspects are considered as part of the regulatory commentary, where contingency
planning and space transport hazard areas are assessed in relation to airspace efficiency and environmental protection.
The methodology therefore does not cause significa nt harm to any of the six environmental objectives of the EU
Taxonomy Regulation.
Use of artificial intelligence.
STRATUS does not develop or deploy operational AI systems. References to AI-enabled analytics in the assurance
framework are treated at a conceptual level only. Where relevant, the project will describe how AI could in future be
made technically robust, explainable and reliable, consistent with the requirements in Horizon Europe guidance, but
no AI tools will be delivered within the project.
Interdisciplinarity.
The work requires expertise across several domains: ATM operations, system and software architecture, cyber
security, resilience engineering, and regulatory and institutional frameworks. The methodology integrates these
strands by using a common set of baseline definitions and scenarios in Part A, which are then used to shape technical
and regulatory work in Part B. This ensures that operational, technical and regulatory perspectives remain consistent.
Gender dimension.
The research activities do not involve human participants, biomedical elements, or social-behavioural data. The work
focuses on operational concepts and technical frameworks. As such, there is no direct gender dimension in the
research content. This is consistent with the scope of the call and the nature of the work.
Open science.
All non-sensitive outputs will be published open access . This includes deliverables such as the CONOPS, OSED,
FRD, ERR, ECO-EVAL and regulatory commentary. The project will also ensure that results are shared with other
projects funded under the same call, as required by the SESAR 3 JU. Research data will be m anaged according to
FAIR principles, with a Data Management Plan delivered at Month 6 and updated during the project.
Research data management.
The main research outputs are textual (deliverables, reports, templates, reference models). Limited datasets may be
generated from desk-based studies or scenario modelling. These will be small in size and primarily descriptive. Data
will be stored in trusted repositories with persistent identifiers, published in open formats where possible, and licensed
for reuse under Creative Commons or similar. The DMP will detail responsibilities for data quality, curation and
preservation.

2. Impact #@IMP-ACT-IA@#
2.1 Project’s pathways towards impact
STRATUS contributes directly to the expected outcomes of the Work Programme topic on innovative methodologies
for ATM safety, security and resilience. The project delivers a set of concepts, frameworks and evaluations that
together provide a consolidated TRL 2 baseline for the safe and secure integration of higher-airspace operations.
• New methodologies for safety, cyber security and resilience . STRATUS develops an integrated assurance
framework that links these domains in a single process. The framework is validated through expert review
and desk-based studies and demonstrates how evidence can be reused across domains.
• Support for virtualised and distributed ATM architectures. The service architecture framework defines how
higher-airspace functions can be deployed as interoperable services. It applies principles such as modularity,
API-based interoperability, redundancy and zero-trust security.
• Network-wide management of higher airspace and space transport . STRATUS delivers an updated
CONOPS and OSED, incorporating hazard area management and 4DOZ. These describe how HAO and STO
services interact with ANSPs, operators and military users, providing a harmonised framework for
integration into the wider ATM network.
• Regulatory and implementation insight . Commentary on sovereignty, licensing, contingency and
environmental issues is captured as an annex to the CONOPS. This provides regulators and standardisation
bodies with structured input on where existing frameworks may need to evolve.
• Market and stakeholder evidence. The updated market study includes HAPS, hypersonic and space transport
operations, complementing EASA’s HAO market study by assessing the effect of STO on airspace
availability. This provides a realistic picture of future demand, directly supporting the EASA Higher
Airspace Operations Roadmap.
Pathways to impact
STRATUS ensures that its results are directly usable by SESAR follow-on activities and by regulators through three
complementary pathways.
The first pathway concerns concept definition and validation. Operational concepts, service models and architectures
will be developed with the involvement of regulators, ANSPs, operators, military representatives and service
providers. Validation will be achieved through structured expert review panels, targeted workshops and scenario -
based desk studies. This approach ensures that the outputs are technically credible, feasible, and consistent with
institutional requirements.
The second pathway is packaging for integration. Deliverables will be presented as ready -to-use frameworks and
reference material that can be incorporated into SESAR industrial projects, EASA rulemaking tasks and ICAO
provisions. Each deliverable will be mapped against the development priorities of the European ATM Master Plan,
including integration of new entrants, dynamic airspace configuration, secure digitalisation and resilience. STRATUS
will also take into account the results of related SESAR projects that addressed these themes in other contexts.
• SEC-AIRSPACE advanced methodologies for cyber -resilience in digitalised ATM services. STRATUS
builds on this work by embedding zero-trust principles and cyber-security baselines into its higher-airspace
architecture.
• FARO examined evolving safety risk assessment frameworks. STRATUS incorporates these insights into its
integrated assurance approach, which links safety, security and resilience.
• FCDI studied operational resilience to disruptive events. STRATUS extends this to higher airspace by
developing concepts for hazard area management, off-nominal re-entries and contingency coordination.

Part B - Page 9 of 34
The third pathway is stakeholder engagement and dissemination. Engagement with operational and regulatory
communities throughout the project provides early buy -in and facilitates post -project uptake. Dissemination will
target both European and internationa l forums, such as ICAO panels and regional planning groups, to support
harmonisation beyond the EUR Region. Open science practices will be applied to make all non -sensitive results
openly available in trusted repositories, following FAIR principles, so that they can be reused by regulators, industry
and future research projects.
Together, these pathways ensure that STRATUS outputs are not isolated academic results but are positioned to inform
regulatory development, support SESAR industrial research, and guide future service implementation.
Expected long-term impacts (5–10 years after project end)
In the longer-term STRATUS will contribute to the implementation of the European ATM Master Plan and the
Digital European Sky. Its concepts will enable scalable and resilient integration of higher-airspace and space transport
operations in line with Master Plan priorities. This will support a harmonised European approach to HAO/STO
integration, reduce duplication across States, and strengthen the resilience of ATM services to cyber threats, outages
and cross-border disruptions. At the global level, STRATUS results are expected to influence ICAO provisions,
ensuring that European practice shapes worldwide frameworks for higher-airspace operations.
Strategic economic impact
Higher airspace is today a largely unused domain with very low traffic density. This creates a unique opportunity for
Europe to use it as a sandbox to trial new paradigms and technologies with limited operational risk. STRATUS
contributes to de -risking these innovations, accelerating their path into mainstream ATM. A coherent European
framework for higher -airspace operations will also strengthen Europe’s sovereign space launch and transport
capability, support a vibrant industrial ecosystem, and reduce dependence on non-European providers. In the longer
term, this will reinforce European competitiveness, resilience and technological leadership, consistent with the
strategic vision set out in the European ATM Master Plan and in wider EU digital and space policy.
Beneficiaries
Regulators.
EASA, national civil aviation authorities and national space regulators will benefit directly from STRATUS outputs.
The project delivers structured and validated concepts such as the CONOPS, OSED and FRD, along with
commentary on sovereignty, licensing, contingency management and environmental aspects. These materials provide
regulators with an evidence base for future rulemaking and oversight, reducing the time and effort required to
interpret novel higher-airspace activities in the absence of clear standards. By framing the issues in a consistent and
operationally grounded way, STRATUS helps regulators to avoid fragmented approaches and supports alignment
with the European ATM Master Plan and the EASA Higher Airspace Operations Roadmap.
ANSPs and system integrators.
Air navigation service providers and their industry partners gain from the technical frameworks produced in
STRATUS. The project describes how higher -airspace functions such as trajectory management, separation, and
hazard area coordination can be implemen ted as modular services. It also defines interfaces and architectural
principles that make these services interoperable across borders. For ANSPs and system integrators this reduces
development effort, lowers cost and minimises the risk of bespoke national solutions that later require re-engineering.
In the medium term, these outputs provide a practical foundation for testing higher -airspace service provision in
industrial research phases.
Space operators.
Operators involved in orbital launches, sub -orbital missions and re -entries will gain from clearer procedures for
hazard area generation, dynamic zone coordination and contingency management. STRATUS provides a framework
=== PAGE 176 ===
Call: [HORIZON-SESAR-2023-DES-ER3] — [Digital European Sky Exploratory Research 03]
EU Grants: Application form (HE RIA and IA)( HORIZON-SESAR-2025-DES-ER-03): V4.0 – 18.12.2024
Part B - Page 10 of 34
that links these functions with conventional ATM, ensuring that space transport operations are integrated into the
European network in a predictable and consistent way. This reduces regulatory uncertainty for spaceports and launch
service providers and supports Europe’s ambition to develop sovereign and competitive space transport capability.
Higher-altitude operators.
Operators of high-altitude platforms and supersonic/hypersonic transport vehicles will benefit from the definition of
core functions and services that govern operations above conventional controlled airspace. STRATUS clarifies how
HAPS fleets, long -endurance missions and supersonic/hypersonic vehicles interact with ATS, how separation or
deconfliction is managed, and how service continuity is maintained. By capturing these elements in a harmonised
CONOPS and OSED, the project reduces barriers to market entr y and helps these operators plan for scalable
operations in European airspace.
Traditional aviation stakeholders.
Conventional airspace users and airport operators benefit from the assurance that higher -airspace and space
operations are managed in a way that does not compromise safety or predictability in lower altitudes. By defining
how hazard areas and dynamic zones are coordinated with existing ATS, STRATUS ensures that impacts on general
air traffic are minimised. This protects the efficiency of the ATM network while allowing new entrants to grow.
Citizens and the general public.
STRATUS ultimately benefits European citizens by ensuring that new entrants in higher airspace are integrated
without compromising the safety, security or continuity of air traffic services. A resilient and cyber -secure ATM
system reduces the likelihood of large-scale disruption from outages or malicious attacks. The growth of higher -
airspace industries also supports new services and applications, from connectivity to earth observation, which have
a direct societal benefit. By treating higher airspace as a managed and resilient part of the European network,
STRATUS helps safeguard the interests of the travelling public and society at large.
The European Union as a whole.
At the strategic level, STRATUS supports the EU’s goals in competitiveness, sovereignty and defence. A coherent
framework for higher -airspace operations strengthens European sovereign launch and space transport capability,
reduces dependence on non-European providers, and enhances Europe’s role as a global standard-setter. The project
supports the growth of a competitive European industry in high-altitude and space transport services, creating skilled
jobs and dr iving innovation. It also contributes to Europe’s knowledge base in space traffic management and
advanced ATM, reinforcing the EU’s position as a market leader in the global aerospace sector. In the defence and
security dimension, STRATUS supports civil–military coordination and resilience, contributing to the protection of
European infrastructure and assets.
2.2 Measures to maximise impact - Dissemination, exploitation and communication #@COM-DIS-VIS-CDV@#
As an Exploratory Research project, the value of the work lies not only in the concepts developed but in how they
are transferred into later SESAR phases, regulatory processes and wider societal use. The project therefore devotes
significant effort to dissemination, exploitation and communicatio n, with a continuous programme in WP2 and a
dedicated wrap -up in WP5 to ensure post -project continuity. The plan addresses multiple audiences: regulators,
ANSPs, industry, standards bodies, research organisations and the wider public. It combines early sta keholder
engagement, alignment with European and international policy agendas, and open science practices to ensure that
STRATUS results are visible, accessible and ready for immediate reuse.

Part B - Page 11 of 34
Exploitation strategy
The primary exploitation pathway for STRATUS is the uptake of its outputs in SESAR industrial research phases,
EASA regulatory activities and ICAO regional and global guidance. To achieve this, STRATUS will:
• Produce deliverables in a ready -to-integrate format. CONOPS, OSED, FRD, ERR, ECO -EVAL and
regulatory commentary will be drafted in line with SESAR templates and mapped to existing Master Plan
work packages. They will be structured as reference documents that can be directly cited in SESAR solution
projects, EASA rulemaking tasks, or ICAO panel working papers.
• Align early with implementers. Stakeholders positioned to take results forward — including ANSP technical
teams, industry integrators, regulatory drafting groups and SESAR solution consortia — will be engaged
throughout the project. This will ensure that STRATUS outputs are framed in a way that these implementers
can use without translation or adaptation.
• Identify near-term use cases. The project will highlight specific areas where STRATUS concepts can add
value immediately. Examples include cross -border coordination of hazard areas for space transport
operations, the definition of minimum service levels fo r high-altitude service providers, and cyber-resilient
design principles for distributed ATM services.
• Enable rapid reuse. Non -sensitive results will be published under open licences (Creative Commons or
equivalent) to allow direct reuse by industry, regulators and other research teams. Sensitive material will be
restricted but shared under SESAR JU mechanisms with linked projects.
Exploitation will also extend to education, training and research communities. STRATUS deliverables will serve as
material for academic courses, simulation studies and doctoral research on ATM, cyber security and space traffic
management. In this way, the project seeds knowledge that continues to support European innovation beyond the
SESAR framework.
Dissemination activities
Dissemination will be structured in two stages: WP2 covers dissemination during the research phase, while WP5
ensures dedicated wrap-up and outreach in the final six months.
• Regulators and policy-makers. Targeted policy briefs will summarise the regulatory touchpoints identified
in STRATUS and propose potential pathways for integration into European and international frameworks.
Workshops with EASA and national authorities wil l discuss regulatory dependencies, sovereignty,
contingency responsibilities and environmental considerations.
• Operational stakeholders. Technical briefs, interface diagrams and service concept descriptions will be
delivered to ANSPs, HAOSP candidates and military coordination units. These will explain not only the
concepts but also the practical implications for system development, interoperability and operations.
• Standards and R&D communities. Findings will be disseminated through ICAO panels, EUROCAE working
groups, CANSO events and SESAR fora. STRATUS results will be aligned with ongoing standardisation
efforts (e.g. SWIM, cyber security profiles, space traffic c oordination) to maximise their utility for
harmonisation.
• Wider aviation community. Accessible summaries, infographics and webinars will be produced to explain
the significance of higher-airspace integration for aviation safety and resilience. This ensures that industry
and the public at large understand why these developments matter and how Europe is leading the response.
Key dissemination channels include SESAR Innovation Days, ICAO EUR/NAT regional meetings, EUROCAE WG-
105 (UAS/UTM), WG-122 (cyber security), and targeted international events such as the Space Traffic Management
conferences. Mid-project workshops will be held to present interim results and refine them through feedback, while
final promulgation events in WP5 will showcase outcomes to regulators, industry and research actors.

Part B - Page 12 of 34
Communication activities
The communication strategy is designed to promote STRATUS throughout its full lifespan and beyond. It is built on
three principles: visibility, accessibility and continuity.
• Core message. STRATUS demonstrates how Europe can safely and securely integrate higher -airspace
operations and space transport, creating a resilient and cyber-secure foundation for the Digital European Sky.
• Public narrative. Communications will explain the societal benefits of STRATUS, including safer airspace,
more resilient critical infrastructure, and new services enabled by HAO/STO (e.g. broadband connectivity,
Earth observation, space launch capability).
• Tools and channels. The project will maintain a dedicated website hosting public deliverables, news updates
and event registrations. Social media accounts will be used to reach wider audiences, with content tailored
to industry, regulators and the general public. Periodic newsletters will provide updates to stakeholders.
• Timing. Communications will be linked to key milestones: publication of the market study, interim OSED
and CONOPS, mid-project workshops, and final results in WP5. This ensures that interest peaks at moments
when stakeholders can engage directly with outputs.
Communication activities will also support citizen engagement, making clear how STRATUS contributes to safer
skies, stronger European resilience and the economic opportunities of space and higher airspace.
Post-project continuity
A defining feature of STRATUS is WP5, a dedicated work package for CDE wrap -up after the technical work
concludes. This ensures that dissemination and exploitation continue beyond Month 24 and that outputs are not lost
when the research ends. WP5 will:
• Deliver a final exploitation and impact strategy, with clear pathways for results to enter SESAR IR, EASA
regulatory plans and ICAO provisions.
• Establish a repository of non-sensitive deliverables and supporting material, hosted on a trusted platform, to
guarantee long-term access.
• Organise a high -visibility promulgation event to present results to regulators, ANSPs, operators, industry
and research partners.
• Maintain engagement with EASA, SESAR JU, ICAO and EUROCAE working groups, ensuring STRATUS
outputs continue to inform policy and technical development after project close.
By dedicating the final six months to dissemination and exploitation, STRATUS will demonstrate its commitment to
delivering lasting impact, not just short-term research results.
Intellectual property, open science and data management
All partners will sign a consortium agreement defining ownership and access rights. A results ownership list will be
delivered in the final periodic report. Results with exploitation value will be identified early and categorised as either
open, restricted or protected.
• Open results. Deliverables such as the market study, CONOPS, OSED, FRD, ERR, ECO -EVAL and
regulatory commentary will be released under open licences (Creative Commons).
• Restricted results. Materials containing sensitive information (e.g. cyber threat analysis) will be shared only
under SESAR JU agreements with linked projects.
• Protected results. Where partners develop novel methods with wider commercial potential, appropriate IPR
protection (copyright, trade secrets, design rights) will be considered.

The Data Management Plan (M6) will ensure all data are FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable).
Persistent identifiers will be used, datasets will be published in open formats, and all publications will be open access.
Contribution to EU policy, society and further research
STRATUS does not stop at technical deliverables: its outputs will shape the European ATM and space policy
landscape. The project provides commentary that feeds into EASA rulemaking tasks, SESAR Master Plan updates,
and ICAO provisions, supporting the design and adaptation of European and international policy.
For society and citizens, STRATUS improves the safety and resilience of European skies, ensuring that cyber-attacks,
outages or off-nominal space events do not disrupt mobility or endanger public safety. It also underpins the growth
of industries that deli ver tangible benefits, such as high -altitude connectivity, scientific observation, and secure
European access to space.
For the EU economy, STRATUS contributes to competitiveness and sovereignty by de -risking higher -airspace
integration, supporting European launch capability and stimulating industrial innovation. By providing a sandbox for
innovation in low-density airspace, STRATUS allows Europe to test and adopt new paradigms before competitors,
ensuring leadership in the global aerospace sector.
For further research, STRATUS establishes a validated TRL 2 baseline that SESAR industrial phases can take
forward into prototyping, large -scale validation and standardisation. Deliverables will also be made available to
academia and research organisations as a basis for doctoral work, simulation studies and applied research in ATM,
cyber security and space traffic management.

2.3 Summary
KEY ELEMENT OF THE IMPACT SECTION
SPECIFIC NEEDS EXPECTED RESULTS
D & E & C MEASURES
What are the specific needs that triggered this
project?
Global and technological developments since
the creation of the original ECHO CONOPS
mean that certain key concepts need to be (re)
considered, in order to support the
development of the HAO and STO industries,
and the benefits they are expected to deliver
for European citizens.
Existing airspace users need to be assured that
HAO and STO can be developed and
exploited within European Airspace without
causing excessive disruption to their
operations.
What do you expect to generate by the end of
the project?
An agreed Concept of Operations, updated
from that produced by ECHO 1 and
considering the various developments since.
This includes the report on EASA’s Opinion
on ECHO 1 following consultation of
Member States and Industry Stakeholders,
published in June 2025.
What dissemination, exploitation and communication measures
will you apply to the results?
A dedicated project website will act as the central hub for public
information, deliverables, and news.
Mid-project stakeholder workshops will present interim results
and gather feedback.
End of project promulgation events will present outcomes and
promote adoption.
STRATUS will engage with target audiences through SESAR
events, ICAO EUR/NAT meetings, EUROCAE working groups,
industry conferences, and webinars.
During the project period, the STRATUS team will identify
exploitation pathways and potential users of project results, to
ensure that communications and dissemination methods are
effective, and lead to the path to exploitation

#§IMP-ACT-IA§# TARGET GROUPS OUTCOMES IMPACTS
Who will use or further up -take the
results of the project? Who will benefit
from the results of the project?
European State Regulators (Space and
Airspace)
EASA
Potential HAO and STO operators
(both civil and military)
European citizens and businesses who
will make use of the services offered
by HAO and STO operators.
What change do you expect to see after
successful dissemination and exploitation of
project results to the target group(s)?
European Regulators, Airspace Users and
Service Providers will have a clearer view of
the future operating concept for Higher
Airspace Operations and Space Launch /
Return.
ICAO will understand what activities are
necessary at global level to enable effective
and efficient HAO and STO at the anticipated
numbers, without creating excessive levels of
disruption to existing airspace users.
Research Organisations and Manufacturing
Industry will have a better understanding of
the concepts and equipment which will need
more detailed technical development.
Clean-sheet HAO technology baseline. A
documented concept and interface set that
allows HAO to adopt advanced digital CNS,
automation and coordination services without
legacy retrofit constraints, while defining
clear transition rules for climb and descent
through conventional airspace.
What are the expected wider scientific, economic and
societal effects of the project contributing to the
expected impacts outlined in the respective
destination in the work programme?
The scientific community will have an updated
concept to help them identify areas requiring further
detailed research.
Potential providers/users of space transportation /
higher airspace services will have a clearer idea of the
path to commercial/personal exploitation of these
capabilities – in the longer term leading to a viable
new industry sector.
Technology leapfrogging by design. By treating HAO
as a clean -sheet environment above FL550, the
project specifies architectures that can use modern
communications, navigation and surveillance, high -
automation decision support and data -centric
coordination that would be impractical to mandate
fleet-wide below due to retrofit costs and backward -
compatibility constraints.
Spillover benefits to the network. Clear HAO –
ATM interface requirements and transition
procedures enable safe mixed operations and create a
pathway for selective downstream adoption in lower
airspace where benefits justify change, reducing long-
term technical debt.

3. Quality and efficiency of the implementation #@QUA-LIT-QL@# #@WRK-PLA-WP@#
3.1 Work plan and resources
The STRATUS work plan is designed to deliver a coherent TRL 2 baseline for the safe and resilient integration of
higher-airspace operations. The structure follows SESAR 3 JU guidance for Exploratory Research, with a focus on
two research work packages aligned to the two reporting periods, supported by management and CDE activities. This
ensures that the project progresses in a logical sequence, allows for interim review of early concepts, and devotes
sufficient resources to dissemination and exploitation.
The plan is organised into five work packages:
• WP1 – Project Management (M1 –M30). Covers coordination, reporting, financial and quality
management, and includes delivery of the Project Management Plan and Data Management Plan.
• WP2 – Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation (M1 –M24). Provides continuous engagement
with stakeholders and early dissemination of results, ensuring alignment with SESAR, EASA and ICAO
activities.
• WP3 – STRATUS Research Activity, Part A (M1–M12). Establishes the baseline. It delivers the market
and stakeholder study, definitions of actors and functions, and the initial OSED and CONOPS.
• WP4 – STRATUS Research Activity, Part B (M13 –M24). Builds on WP3 results. It develops service
concepts, the architecture framework, the integrated assurance methodology and regulatory commentary.
Outputs include the FRD, final OSED and CONOPS, the ERR, ECO -EVAL and implementation
commentary.
• WP5 – CDE Wrap-Up (M25–M30). Ensures post -research impact. It delivers the final exploitation and
impact strategy, open -science compliance report and a final promulgation event to hand over results to
regulators, SESAR industrial phases and standards bodies.
The work plan is structured to reflect the exploratory nature of the project: Part A focuses on scoping and establishing
foundations, while Part B consolidates and extends the results into frameworks that are ready for uptake. WP2 and
WP5 provide a strong CDE framework, ensuring that outputs are visible, accessible and integrated into the European
ATM Master Plan and EASA HAO Roadmap. WP1 provides governance and quality assurance across the project.
This structure ensures efficiency: each work package corresponds to a substantial body of work with clear objectives
and deliverables, and resources are concentrated in WP3 and WP4 where the technical work is carried out. The plan
also ensures continuity, with CDE activities running throughout and a dedicated final phase to maximise impact
beyond the lifetime of the project.
Inter-relations between work packages
The work plan is designed to follow a clear progression from scoping to consolidation, with continuous management
and dissemination. The dependencies between work packages are straightforward and ensure that results are delivered
in a coherent and timely manner.
• WP3 (Part A) sets the foundations for the project. It produces the market and stakeholder study, defines
actors and functions, and delivers the initial OSED and CONOPS. These outputs provide the baseline
material needed for subsequent work.
• WP4 (Part B) builds directly on WP3. The initial concepts, functions and services defined in Part A are
refined and expanded into service concepts, the architecture framework, the assurance methodology and
regulatory commentary. The FRD, final OSED and CON OPS, ERR and ECO -EVAL represent the
consolidated technical outputs of the project.

Part B - Page 17 of 34
• WP2 (CDE) runs in parallel with WP3 and WP4, ensuring that interim and final results are disseminated as
they are produced. WP2 also collects feedback from stakeholders, feeding it back into WP3 and WP4 to
refine definitions and concepts.
• WP1 (Management) provides coordination, quality assurance and reporting throughout the project, and also
delivers the Project Management Plan and Data Management Plan to ensure consistency in both technical
and administrative aspects.
• WP5 (CDE Wrap -Up) begins once the technical research has been completed in WP4. It ensures that the
outputs are not only finalised but also positioned for uptake, through the final exploitation and impact
strategy, open-science compliance, and a closing promulgation event.
In Gantt terms, WP1 runs across the full project duration. WP2 overlaps with WP3 and WP4 to ensure communication
and dissemination during both technical phases. WP3 is focused in the first reporting period (M1–M12), WP4 in the
second (M13–M24). WP5 is dedicated to the final six months (M25–M30).
This simple and logical structure minimises dependencies, reduces risks of delay, and ensures that each stage of the
project builds cleanly on the previous one.
3.2 Capacity of participants and consortium as a whole #@CON-SOR-CS@# #@PRJ-MGT-PM@#
The STRATUS consortium has been deliberately assembled to provide the full range of expertise needed to address
the challenges of integrating higher -airspace operations and space transport into the European ATM system. The
work requires not only technical innovation but also operational credibility, regulatory insight, and strong
dissemination. The consortium reflects this balance, combining organisations with extensive ATM operational
experience, recognised regulatory competence, deep technical expertise i n architectures and cyber -security,
established academic and research institutions, and specialists in communication and stakeholder engagement.
The project’s objectives cannot be achieved by a narrow group of partners. Instead, STRATUS relies on a
multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary team that covers the operational, technical, regulatory, research, and societal
dimensions of the problem. The consortium is structured to ensure that each of these dimensions is represented, while
avoiding duplication and ensuring efficiency. The combined capacity of the team ensures that results will be
technically credible, aligned with operational constraints, f easible for regulatory uptake, and communicated
effectively to the relevant communities.
Breadth of expertise
The consortium provides a broad spread of expertise, covering all areas required for STRATUS:
• Operational expertise. Several partners have long experience in air navigation service provision and day-to-
day ATM operations. They provide the knowledge required to judge whether new concepts are realistic, safe,
and capable of integration into the netwo rk. This ensures that STRATUS outputs are firmly grounded in
operational reality rather than theoretical models.

EU Grants: Application form (HE RIA and IA)( HORIZON-SESAR-2025-DES-ER-03): V4.0 – 18.12.2024
Part B - Page 18 of 34
• Technical and systems expertise. Research centres and engineering partners bring competence in designing
modular, service-oriented architectures, applying cyber -resilience and zero-trust principles, and modelling
interoperability in distributed environment s. This capability is essential to developing the architecture and
assurance frameworks required in STRATUS.
• Regulatory and policy expertise. Partners with backgrounds in civil aviation authorities, international
organisations, and regulatory processes contribute the experience needed to understand how concepts can be
translated into standards, rulemaking material, and guidance. They provide the link between technical
research and the regulatory processes that will ultimately implement the results.
• Academic and research expertise. Universities and research institutions ensure methodological rigour and
bring the ability to review international state of the art. They provide the systems thinking needed to link
operational, technical, and policy domains , and ensure compliance with open science and FAIR data
principles.
• Stakeholder engagement and communication. Specialist organisations within the consortium contribute the
capability to plan and execute effective dissemination, engagement, and exploitation strategies. This includes
organising workshops, developing outreach materials, and ensuring that project outputs reach the relevant
European and international forums.
Complementarity of roles
The consortium is structured to ensure that each work package is led by a partner with recognised expertise in the
relevant domain. Project management is supported by partners with experience in coordinating European research.
The communication, dissemination and exploitation activities are led by partners with strong networks and outreach
experience. The two main research work packages are supported by a balance of operational, technical, and research
expertise, ensuring that definitions and concepts developed in Part A are expanded into service models, architectures
and assurance frameworks in Part B. The wrap-up phase is supported by organisations with experience in exploitation
and regulatory alignment, ensuring that results are visible and accessible after the project closes.
This complementarity avoids duplication and ensures that all aspects of the project are covered by the most
appropriate expertise. The project benefits from the credibility of established operational and regulatory
organisations, the innovation of technical and research partners, and the reach of communication specialists.
Capacity to deliver
Collectively, the consortium has demonstrated the ability to deliver results at the scale and scope required for
STRATUS:
• Extensive participation in European ATM research and development, including previous SESAR exploratory
and industrial projects, which ensures familiarity with SESAR methodologies, deliverable structures, and
validation approaches.
• Direct involvement in ICAO and EASA activities, ensuring that STRATUS outputs will be aligned with
current international initiatives and can be fed directly into ongoing regulatory and standardisation processes.
• Access to operational data, modelling facilities, simulation environments, and in some cases infrastructure
such as airports and spaceports, ensuring that the work is grounded in practical realities.
• Experience in developing concepts to TRL 2 –3 maturity, validated through expert review, scenario -based
analysis, and structured stakeholder consultation.
• Established networks across the ATM and aerospace communities, including regulators, ANSPs, operators,
industry associations, and standards bodies. These connections ensure that STRATUS results will reach the
communities that can take them forward into implementation.

Part B - Page 19 of 34
Cross-cutting dimensions
The consortium also brings together expertise across cross -cutting areas. Social sciences and human factors are
addressed through partners with operational and human -centred expertise, ensuring that concepts are not only
technically sound but also institutionally and socially acceptable. Open science practices are embedded in the project
through academic partners with strong records in FAIR data management and open access. Gender aspects are
considered in the composition of teams and in recruitment policies, even though the research content itself does not
involve gender analysis.
Geographic and international reach
The consortium spans a broad set of European States, ensuring that diverse operational environments and regulatory
regimes are represented. This supports the goal of developing harmonised concepts that are valid across Europe. The
presence of international partners extends the reach of the project to the global level, ensuring alignment with ICAO
processes and supporting interoperability with non -European systems. This geographic and institutional spread
maximises the chances that STRATUS results will be not only relevant to Europe but also influential worldwide.

Table 3.1b: Work package description
For each work package:
Work package number WP1
Work package title Project Management & Coordination
Objectives
WP1 provides the governance, coordination, and quality assurance framework that ensures STRATUS is
delivered on time, within scope, and in line with SESAR 3 JU requirements for Exploratory Research. Its
objectives are to:
a) Establish and operate a governance structure that supports clear decision -making, effective
communication, and timely conflict resolution.
b) Manage all contractual, administrative, and financial aspects of the Grant Agreement, including all
mandatory reporting to SESAR 3 JU.
c) Monitor progress against the approved Project Management Plan (PMP) and Data Management Plan
(DMP), ensuring risks are tracked and corrective action taken when required.
d) Deliver all mandatory SESAR milestones and reviews on schedule, including the ERP and ERR.
e) Apply structured quality assurance to ensure all project outputs meet SESAR JU evaluation and open
science standards.
Description of work
WP1 runs for the full 30 months of the project and covers governance, reporting, quality assurance, risk
management, and contractual/financial administration.
Governance and coordination
The governance structure rests on three layers. The Project Management Board (PMB), chaired by
EUROCONTROL and including all partners, meets quarterly to review overall progress, confirm resource use,
address risks, and approve major deliverables. Monthly Work Package Lead (WPL) meetings, chaired by the
Coordinator, monitor technical progress, manage interdependencies, and resolve emerging issues. An
Advisory Board (AB), composed of external stakeholders such as Launch & Re -entry Operators, national
regulators, and defence/space organisations, meets twice (midway and close to project end) to provide
independent feedback and ensure alignment with broader European initiatives. Governance and coordination
activities require about 8 PM across the project.
Project Management Plan (PMP)
EUROCONTROL produces the PMP at Month 3, consolidating inputs from WP leaders and partners. It defines
governance roles, reporting flows, risk and quality processes, communication and document control, and
incorporates the baseline schedule in the SESAR reporting platform. The PMP is updated at Month 12 to reflect
any changes. Preparation and review require around 2 PM in total.
Data Management Plan (DMP)
EUROCONTROL also leads the DMP, due in Month 3 and updated in Month 12. It specifies how STRATUS
outputs are handled in line with FAIR principles, covering formats, metadata, repositories, preservation, and
access rights. All partners participate in the process with document control, while technical partners contribute
information on expected data types. Around 2 PM are allocated to this activity.
Reporting and reviews
=== PAGE 187 ===
Call: [HORIZON-SESAR-2023-DES-ER3] — [Digital European Sky Exploratory Research 03]
EU Grants: Application form (HE RIA and IA)( HORIZON-SESAR-2025-DES-ER-03): V4.0 – 18.12.2024
Part B - Page 21 of 34
WP1 coordinates the preparation of all mandatory SESAR 3 JU and Horizon Europe reviews.
EUROCONTROL consolidates inputs from WP leaders into technical and financial reports at M12 and M24.
Although not deliverables, these reports require significant effort (~10 PM). At project close,
EUROCONTROL prepares the Final Project Report (D1.6) with partner contributions, consolidating results,
financials, lessons learned, and updated exploitation and dissemination planning. This requires around 2 PM
across the consortium.
Risk management
EUROCONTROL maintains the project risk register, opened at the kick -off meeting. Risks are updated
monthly at WPL meetings, with escalation of high -priority risks to the PMB. All partners contribute to
identifying and monitoring risks. Around 1 PM are assigned to this activity.
Quality assurance
All deliverables undergo a two -stage review: an independent technical review by a non -authoring partner,
followed by a compliance review by EUROCONTROL. This ensures consistency with SESAR templates,
Horizon standards, and PMP criteria. Reviews are schedul ed at least two weeks before submission. The QA
process requires about 2 PM across the project.
Financial and administrative management
EUROCONTROL monitors resource allocation under the lump -sum model, tracks person -months and
deliverable completion, and prepares consolidated financial statements. Partners provide quarterly inputs on
effort and resource use. At M30, EUROCONTROL oversees s ubmission of the Final Project Report and
archiving of all documentation. This requires around 2 PM in total.
Role of participants
• EUROCONTROL (Coordinator): leads WP1, chairs the PMB, prepares the PMP and DMP,
consolidates reports, manages financial and contractual compliance, and ensures quality control.
• Advisory Board: external input at mid-term and project close to ensure alignment with wider European
and international frameworks.
Work package number WP2
Work package title Communication, Dissemination & Exploitation
Objectives
WP2 ensures that STRATUS results are visible, accessible, and positioned for adoption by SESAR follow-on
projects, regulators, and international bodies. Its objectives are to:
a) develop and maintain a communication and dissemination framework that ensures project visibility
from the outset;
b) provide targeted engagement with regulators, ANSPs, operators, standards bodies, and other
stakeholders to build early buy-in;
c) prepare interim and final exploitation strategies that map STRATUS outputs to SESAR and regulatory
priorities;
d) ensure compliance with Horizon Europe open science and FAIR principles, so that all non -sensitive
results are accessible and reusable;
a) deliver structured stakeholder workshops and promulgation events to validate concepts and maximise
impact.

Part B - Page 22 of 34
Description of work
WP2 runs from Month 1 to Month 24 and is led by EUROCONTROL and supported by all partners for
outreach, content development, and event organisation. A follow -up package (WP5) ensures continuity of
dedicated CDE work during the final six months.
The work begins with the preparation of the Communication & Dissemination Plan (D2.1), delivered at Month
3. This document defines the communication strategy, identifies target audiences, sets key messages, and
establishes performance indicators. It includ es an editorial calendar, event plan, and alignment with SESAR
JU branding requirements. About 2 PM are allocated across the consortium for this deliverable.
In parallel, the project website and online presence (D2.2) are established by Month 3. The website functions
as a public repository of results, news updates, event announcements, and non -confidential deliverables, and
is linked to the SESAR JU portal. This activity requires around 1 PM for setup and ongoing updates.
The plan is updated at Month 12 (Updated CDE Plan, D2.3) to reflect progress, stakeholder feedback, and
adjustments in dissemination strategy. This ensures the project remains visible and aligned with evolving
SESAR priorities. The update is concise but requires coordination, with about 1 PM allocated.
A central activity is the Mid -project Stakeholder Workshop (D2.4), held around Month 18. Organised by
EUROCONTROL, this event presents the interim CONOPS and OSED to regulators, ANSPs, military
representatives, and service providers. The workshop collects structured feedback on the concepts, which is
then fed into WP3 and WP4 work. The Workshop Report records participants, discussions, and how feedback
is integrated into Part B. Organising and documenting the workshop requires around 5–6 PM in total, reflecting
the need for preparation, facilitation, and reporting.
WP2 also produces the Draft Post -Research Exploitation & Impact Strategy (D2.5) at Month 20. This maps
STRATUS outputs to potential users and adoption pathways, highlights standardisation hooks, and identifies
areas requiring further R&D. It positions the results for continuation in SESAR industrial projects, EASA
regulatory roadmaps, and ICAO provisions. About 4 –5 PM are allocated across the consortium for this
deliverable.
Throughout WP2, dissemination takes place via multiple channels. Partners present results at SESAR events,
ICAO EUR/NAT meetings, EUROCAE working groups, and targeted industry conferences. Academic
partners prepare scientific publications, while operationa l partners contribute to professional forums. Public
outreach is maintained through infographics, social media updates, and newsletters. This continuous activity
ensures that STRATUS maintains visibility across its stakeholder community.
WP2 accounts for around 15 PM of effort in total. This is proportionate for an ER project and justified by the
need to build awareness and uptake of the project’s outputs well before the final phase. WP5 then extends this
effort to cover post-research exploitation and dissemination, ensuring continuity beyond Month 24.
Role of participants
• EUROCONTROL (Lead): drafts the CDE Plan, manages the website and branding, leads exploitation
strategy, coordinates open science compliance , stakeholder engagement and workshops; provide
content for the website and other communications; support the exploitation strategy; ensure alignment
with SESAR JU dissemination obligations; contribute through conferences, publications and
participation in workshops.

Work package number WP3
Work package title STRATUS Research Activity, Part A
Objectives
WP3 establishes the operational and analytical baseline for STRATUS. Its objectives are to:
a) produce an Exploratory Research Plan (ERP) that sets out the validation strategy for an ER project at
TRL2, including expert reviews, stakeholder consultation, and scenario-based desk studies;
b) conduct an updated market and stakeholder study to provide a realistic forecast of demand for higher-
airspace services, explicitly complementing the EASA HAO Market Study by extending the scope to
Space Transport Operations (STO) and military use of higher airspace;
c) prepare an Initial Operational Services and Environment Description (OSED) that defines actors,
functions, baseline scenarios, and interactions, forming the reference point for the CONOPS and
technical frameworks developed in Part B;
d) establish the baseline assumptions for service models and architecture, describing how key functions
could in future be deployed as modular services with interoperable interfaces, ensuring consistency
between operational concepts and the distributed architecture framework refined in WP4;
e) identify candidate areas for proof-of-concept demonstration, where small, targeted exercises could be
designed in Part B to illustrate the feasibility of innovative approaches.
Description of work
WP3 runs during the first 12 months of STRATUS and provides the foundation for the project’s technical,
operational, and regulatory outputs. It is led by EUROCONTROL. All partners contribute through data
provision, expert knowledge, and structured review.
The Exploratory Research Plan (ERP, D3.1), due at Month 6, sets out how validation will be carried out in the
project. While no large-scale trials or simulations are foreseen, the ERP ensures a structured validation pathway
appropriate for TRL2. It defines the methods for:
• Expert reviews, specifying the criteria for selecting domain specialists from ANSPs, regulators,
operators, and industry, and the format of review panels.
• Stakeholder workshops, which will provide structured opportunities to present draft concepts (e.g.
early OSED scenarios, preliminary service models) and collect targeted feedback.
• Desk-based scenario analysis, including “what-if” case studies for HAPS operations, STO launches/re-
entries, and mixed-traffic environments.
The ERP also specifies evidence capture: how comments, risks, and validation results are recorded, and how
they feed into deliverables. Core preparation requires ~6–7 PM across the consortium. Further effort of around
8 PM will include background research, structured workshops, expert reviews, iterative drafting, and direct
partner input.
The Market and Stakeholder Study (D3.2), delivered at Month 8, is a key differentiator for STRATUS. It
provides a forward-looking picture of who will operate in higher airspace, when, and at what scale. It explicitly
complements the EASA HAO Market Study, which focuses primarily on HAPS and high-performance aircraft,
by adding Space Transport Operations (STO) (orbital launches, sub -orbital transport, re-entries) and military
activity, both of which are critical for airspace availability but under-represented in current studies.

Part B - Page 24 of 34
The study will:
• Compile demand forecasts for HAPS fleets (communications, ISR, scientific), hypersonic/supersonic
transports, STO missions, and military operations.
• Define operational profiles, including flight durations, altitudes, trajectories, and hazard area
footprints.
• Assess entry-into-service timelines, drawing on manufacturer announcements, regulatory filings, and
industry roadmaps.
• Identify expected service requirements, such as separation assurance, hazard area coordination,
trajectory exchange, and cyber-resilient communications.
By merging civilian, commercial, military, and STO perspectives, the study delivers a more realistic composite
picture of higher-airspace occupancy. This picture becomes the baseline for the OSED and CONOPS. Core
preparation requires ~8–10 PM, with significant partner consultation and structured review utilising around 16
PM.
The Initial OSED (D3.3), delivered at Month 12, builds on the ERP and market study to describe the
operational environment, functions, and stakeholder interactions. It defines:
• Actors: ANSPs, high -altitude service providers, operators (HAPS, hypersonic, STO), regulators
(aviation and space), military stakeholders, and infrastructure entities such as airports, spaceports, and
stratoports.
• Functions: surveillance, communications, navigation, mission and tactical planning, conflict detection,
separation (where needed), hazard area generation, and contingency response.
• Scenarios: routine HAPS flights, hypersonic transport corridors, STO launches/re-entries, and mixed
environments with multiple HAO users.
The OSED also introduces the first mapping of functions into potential service models. For example, hazard
area generation might be described both as an ANSP-led function and as a candidate modular service that can
be published via an API. Similarly, conflict detection can be described as both an operator responsibility and
a function that could be exposed by a higher-airspace service provider. These mappings provide the conceptual
bridge between operational definitions in WP3 and the distributed architectu re explored in WP4. Core
preparation and internal review of the OSED require ~12–15 PM across the consortium, with ~28 PM allocated
to background research, workshops, expert reviews, and any required iterative drafting.
To ensure coherence, WP3 reviews existing ICAO, European, and SESAR documentation (including ECHO
and ECHO2 outputs) and explicitly records where STRATUS extends the scope. This avoids duplication and
ensures that STRATUS provides added value in areas not yet addressed, such as STO integration, dynamic
4DOZ operation, and integrated safety –security–resilience assurance. These cross-cutting tasks will require
~20 PM across the consortium.
Role of participants
• EUROCONTROL (Lead): coordinates WP3, drafts ERP, consolidates inputs , leads Market and
Stakeholder Study, ensures complementarity with EASA HAO Market Study, contributes to ERP

Work package number WP4
Work package title STRATUS Research Activity, Part B
Objectives
Work Package 4 consolidates the outputs of Part A and develops the main technical and regulatory deliverables
of STRATUS. Its objectives are to:
a) produce a Functional Requirements Document (FRD) that defines the detailed requirements for
higher-airspace integration functions and their delivery as services;
b) finalise the OSED to provide a mature and validated description of actors, functions, services, and
scenarios;
c) deliver an Exploratory Research Report (ERR) that summarises findings, assesses progress against
objectives, and captures lessons learned;
d) perform an economic evaluation (ECO-EVAL) to examine costs, benefits, and incentives associated
with higher-airspace services;
e) prepare an Implementation & Regulatory Commentary that analyses how the proposed concepts
interact with existing ICAO, EASA, and national frameworks;
f) integrate all results into a Final Report on a Holistic, Secure, and Resilient HAO framework, ensuring
coherence across operational, architectural, assurance, and regulatory strands.
Description of work
WP4 runs from Month 13 to Month 24 and represents the consolidation phase of STRATUS. It is led by
EUROCONTROL, with other partners contributing according to their expertise. The total effort is ~100 PM,
reflecting its role as the core work package for delivering STRATUS outputs.
The first major deliverable is the Functional Requirements Document (D4.1), due in Month 18. Building on
the initial OSED, the FRD specifies the detailed requirements for key functions such as trajectory exchange,
conflict detection, separation (where need ed), hazard area generation and management, and contingency
response. Requirements are expressed in terms of inputs, outputs, performance indicators, and interfaces.
Special attention is given to dynamic 4 -Dimensional Operating Zones (4DOZ) for HAPS, STO i ntegration,
and interoperability with conventional ATM services. Drafting is led by EUROCONTROL with contributions
from ANSP and other relevant partners to ensure alignment with SESAR standards. Around 25 PM are
allocated to this deliverable, reflecting the need for detailed modelling and iterative review.
By Month 20, the Final OSED (D4.2) is delivered. This updates and consolidates the initial OSED,
incorporating feedback from stakeholders, results from the market study, and refined functional definitions
from the FRD. The final OSED provides a comprehensi ve description of the actors, services, functions, and
scenarios needed for higher-airspace integration. It clarifies the roles of ANSPs, HAOSP candidates, operators,
regulators, and military stakeholders, and integrates STO operations and hazard area coor dination more
explicitly than in Part A. Preparation of the Final OSED requires ~45 PM across the consortium, reflecting its
importance as a cornerstone reference for future SESAR and regulatory work.
While STRATUS does not conduct validation in the sense of large-scale simulations or flight trials, WP4 will
identify specific components of the concepts that can be subjected to limited proof-of-concept activities. These
small, targeted exercises will be used to illustrate the feasibility of novel or challenging ideas, such as new
approaches to hazard area management, innovative 4DOZ coordination mechanisms, or alternative cyber -
resilience methods for distributed architectures. Where feasible, prototype tools or models may be produced at
conceptual level and shared openly to demonstrate how the research could be applied in practice. These
activities do not constitute validation in the SESAR sense but provide tangible evidence that the concepts
proposed are workable and merit continuation in later SESAR industrial research phases.

Part B - Page 26 of 34
The Exploratory Research Report (ERR, D4.3) is delivered at Month 22. It synthesises all findings from
STRATUS, assesses them against the project’s objectives, and documents gaps and lessons learned. The ERR
includes evidence from expert reviews, workshops, and desk-based studies, providing a clear picture of what
has been achieved at TRL2 and where further industrial research is required. Around 32 PM are assigned to
this activity, covering drafting, consolidation, and review.
Also at Month 22, the Economic Evaluation (D4.4) is delivered. This assesses the likely costs and benefits of
higher-airspace integration, examining stakeholder incentives and possible business models for service
provision. It uses qualitative and quantita tive methods, drawing on demand forecasts from the market study
and functional requirements from the FRD. EUROCONTROL leads the analysis, supported by other partners,
with ~10 PM of effort.
The Implementation & Regulatory Commentary (D4.5) is produced at Month 24. This commentary maps
STRATUS concepts against existing ICAO, EASA, and national frameworks, and highlights where updates
or clarifications may be needed. It covers sovereignty, lice nsing and supervision of new service providers,
contingency responsibilities, and environmental considerations. Importantly, it does not prescribe solutions
but provides evidence-based commentary on relevance and potential impacts for implantation. Drafting is led
by EUROCONTROL with inputs from regulators in the consortium. Around 15 PM are allocated.
Finally, WP4 delivers the Final Report on a Holistic, Secure, and Resilient HAO (D4.6) at Month 24. This
report integrates the operational, technical, assurance, and regulatory strands into a single consolidated
package. It describes roles, responsibilities, procedures, contingency arrangements, and information flows in
a coherent framework. The report ensures that STRATUS outputs can be directly taken forward into SESAR
industrial research or regulatory processes. This deliverable requires ~17 PM across the consortium.
Role of participants
• EUROCONTROL(Lead): coordinates WP4, leads drafting of FRD, Final OSED, ERR and Final
Holistic Report, ensures operational realism. Ensures methodological alignment with SESAR
standards.
• All partners: provide inputs, review drafts, and participate in expert review of all WP4 deliverables.
Work package number WP5
Work package title CDE Wrap-Up
Objectives
WP5 ensures that the results of STRATUS continue to deliver impact after the research phase is complete. Its
objectives are to:
a) consolidate and finalise the exploitation and impact strategy, positioning STRATUS outputs for uptake
in SESAR industrial projects, regulatory frameworks, and standardisation processes;
b) ensure that all public deliverables, datasets, and artefacts are archived in trusted repositories and
compliant with Horizon Europe open science and FAIR requirements;
c) organise and deliver a final programme of dissemination and promulgation activities, including a
major public event, to ensure visibility across Europe and internationally;
d) mobilise the entire consortium during the final six months to focus on active dissemination, both
internally within their organisations and externally through industry forums, ensuring that STRATUS
results are carried into the operational and regulatory community.

Part B - Page 27 of 34
Description of work
WP5 runs during the last six months of STRATUS and extends the CDE activities initiated in WP2. It is led
by EUROCONTROL, devoting resources to dissemination across their networks and stakeholder
communities.
The Final Exploitation & Impact Strategy (D5.1, M26) consolidates the draft from WP2 and integrates the
results of WP3 and WP4. It maps STRATUS outputs to SESAR follow -on projects, EASA rulemaking
priorities, ICAO provisions, and EUROCAE standardisation gr oups. It also outlines adoption pathways for
ANSPs, operators, and regulators, and identifies barriers that require further R&I.
At Month 28, the Repository & Open Science Compliance Report (D5.2) ensures that all project outputs ,
including deliverables, datasets, and supporting artefacts , are archived in trusted repositories with persistent
identifiers and licensed for re -use. Technical partners provide correctly formatted data and models, while
academic partners ensure FAIR compliance. This guarantees that STRATUS results remain accessible to the
research and regulatory community long after project close.
The final phase culminates in the Promulgation Event and Report (D5.3, M30). This high-profile event, hosted
with support from SESAR JU, presents the consolidated STRATUS outputs, including the OSED, CONOPS,
FRD, assurance framework, and regulatory commentary , to regulators, ANSPs, operators, standards bodies,
and international observers. The event is designed not as a one-way presentation but as a forum for dialogue,
encouraging stakeholders to commit to carrying the results forward. The accompanying report do cuments
agenda, participation, outcomes, and evidence of impact.
In parallel with these formal deliverables, intensive dissemination and communication activities include
internal dissemination within relevant organisations (e.g. regulatory partners briefing their rulemaking units,
ANSPs presenting to operational divisions, research partners embedding outputs into academic curricula) and
external promotion at industry and policy events. Partners will actively pr esent STRATUS results at
conferences such as ICAO regional planning meetings, EUROCAE working groups, industry forums,
professional conferences such as IFATCA, and SESAR events, as well as at targeted national workshops. This
ensures that the outputs are visible in the exact communities that will use them.
Planning for WP5 has accounted for ~6 PM. By design, WP5 is not a passive close-out phase but a concentrated
campaign to anchor STRATUS results in the SESAR, EASA, ICAO, and industry communities.
Role of participants
• EUROCONTROL (Lead): coordinates WP5, prepares exploitation strategy, manages repository
compliance, organises final event , ensure open science compliance , co-organise the final event , and
actively disseminate STRATUS results in the final six months internally and externally (conferences,
standards bodies, regulatory fora) to maximise visibility and uptake.
