GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The scope of the action should cover the following activities and priorities:

• development of new EUROCAE “specifications/standards” (EDs) or revision of existing ones in support of the Single European Sky, including standards for airborne and ground equipment for ATM and CNS, airport equipment, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), overarching process-oriented and service oriented ones;
• support to the coordination of European standardisation activities in ATM, drones and cybersecurity domains in support of SES and SESAR deployment, notably through acting as secretary of the groups EASCG, EUSCG, and ECSCG;
• support to EASA in the transition towards more performance-based regulations contributing with technical details on how to comply with EU regulatory framework, including participation in relevant Rulemaking Groups (RMGs);
•  international coordination to contribute to global ATM interoperability and harmonisation, particularly with ICAO, RTCA, SAE and other SDO organisations; and
• development of standards using EGNOS and Galileo in aviation, and monitor, inform and coordinate potential new standardisation activities internally to EUROCAE and also internationally, which may be relevant for EGNOS and Galileo in aviation.

Activities that can be funded under this grant re the following:

• coordination and participation in working groups to develop new specifications or revisions of existing EDs supporting existing and new regulatory requirements;
• participation to the EASA Rulemaking Groups or any other activity to provide the expertise on standardisation, where standards provide the concrete technical details on how to comply with the EU regulatory framework (further details in the call document p. 9)
