Specific Challenge:Weather has a significant impact on airport operations: snow, sleet, and freezing rain, which along with strong winds, low clouds, and reduced visibility may create dangerous conditions at or around an airport. These weather conditions can result in major disruptions in air traffic management, leading to delays and cancellations of hundreds or thousands of flights, thus affecting the plans of millions of travellers. Continuous development of weather forecasting solutions and technologies is paramount if airports are to cope with the rising passenger demand.
Scope:The scope of this topic covers the following aspects:
Application area 1: From Runway Visual Range (RVR) to Slant Visual Range (SVR).
The Runway Visual Range (RVR) is the distance over which a pilot of an aircraft on the centreline of the runway can see the runway surface markings delineating the runway or identifying its centre line. RVR (normally expressed in feet or meters) and has been in use for decades. By providing RVR information, pilots can appraise aerodrome visibility conditions and in particular determine whether these conditions are above or belo...

These weather conditions can result in major disruptions in air traffic management, leading to delays and cancellations of hundreds or thousands of flights, thus affecting the plans of millions of travellers. Continuous development of weather forecasting solutions and technologies is paramount if airports are to cope with the rising passenger demand.
Scope:The scope of this topic covers the following aspects:
Application area 1: From Runway Visual Range (RVR) to Slant Visual Range (SVR).
The Runway Visual Range (RVR) is the distance over which a pilot of an aircraft on the centreline of the runway can see the runway surface markings delineating the runway or identifying its centre line. RVR (normally expressed in feet or meters) and has been in use for decades. By providing RVR information, pilots can appraise aerodrome visibility conditions and in particular determine whether these conditions are above or below the company, aircraft or aerodrome operating minima. RVR does not take into consideration important variables e.g. reduced visibility from other factors such as rain on the windshield of the aircraft.
The objective is to conduct research on what is necessary to complement the RVR with the Slant Visual Range (SVR), also known as Slant Runway Visibility. SVR is defined as the slant distance to the farthest high intensity runway edge light or approach runway light which a pilot will see at an altitude of 100 ft. (decision height) on the approach path or, if larger, the slant distance which would have a constant transmittance of 5.5 percent. The research shall investigate the potential operational benefits of providing a measured SVR to pilots in support of their own visual assessment of the visibility conditions, with the objective of improving safety and reducing the number of missed approaches caused by unexpected low visibility and/or the number of unnecessary diversions in borderline meteorological conditions. The research may assess the advantages and disadvantages of different technical means to provide SVR e.g. use of the information from LIDAR installed along the glide path, monostatic acoustic radars, etc., provided that the development of technical means to measure SVR is justified by the operational need.
The proposal may include data collection campaigns, in which the SVR measurements obtained by one or more technical solutions are compared against what a pilot actually sees during the operations, etc. In this case, the analysis of the data must include an estimation of the number of prevented missed approaches and unnecessary diversions, as well as an assessment of the impact on safety.
Application area 2: Windshear and turbulence data prediction on approach:
The research objective is to define and perform initial validation of a concept to share from ground to cockpit predictions of windshear and turbulence on approach (with a focus on final approach) based on pilot reports, ground measurements, or a combination of both. The research must provide an initial analysis of the potential safety benefits of the concept, as well as of its cost.
Note that SESAR solution #21 “Airport operations plan (AOP) and its seamless integration with the network operations plan (NOP)” includes already technical specifications for the ground WX monitoring system for airports, and SESAR solution #35 “Meteorological information exchange” covers technical specifications for observation systems for significant low level turbulence and windshear. Proposals for work in this area must explain how their work would fit within and complement these two solutions.
Expected Impact:The proposed solutions under this topic aim at improving airport capacity and resilience and ensuring safety and security levels.

La ayuda es de ámbito europeo, puede aplicar a esta linea cualquier empresa que forme parte de la Comunidad Europea.
Características del Proyecto
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante

6. Additional requirements:
The SESAR JU considers that proposals addressing topics in Work Area 2 can request a contribution from the EU between EUR 1.000.000 minimum and EUR 2.000.000 maximum and should end no later than Q4 2022 (including 6 months for dissemination activities after delivering final results). These conditions are intended to allow the specific challenges to be addressed appropriately.
Horizon 2020 budget flexibility
Classified information
Financial support to Third Parties
Members of consortium are required to conclude a consortium agreement, in principle prior to the signature of the grant agreement.
7. Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from Horizon 2020 actions.
Where relevant, proposals should also provide information on how the participants will manage the research data generated and/or collected during the project, such as details on what types of data the project will generate, whether and how this data will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved.
Open access to research data
The Open Research Data Pilot has been extended to cover all Horizon 2020 topics for which the submission is opened on 26 July 2016 or later. Projects funded under this topic will therefore by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out under the conditions described in Annex L of the H2020 main Work Programme. Projects can opt-out at any stage, that is both before and after the grant signature.
Note that the evaluation phase proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they plan to open or share their data, and will not be penalised for opting out.
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management Plan.
Projects need to create a Data Management Plan (DMP), except if they opt-out of making their research data open access. A first version of the DMP must be provided as an early deliverable within six months of the project and should be updated during the project as appropriate. The Commission already provides guidance documents, including a template for DMPs. See the Online Manual.
Eligibility of costs: costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement during the project duration.
The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are in the article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement.
