Research and Development Services for Higher Airspace Operations

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency is seeking suppliers to conduct two important studies related to Higher Airspace Operations (HAO). The first study will evaluate the current capabilities of civil Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) systems at higher altitudes, focusing on their ability to support high-speed, long-range, and autonomous operations. This study will identify limitations, risks, and potential regulatory changes needed. The second study will assess the safety risks posed by meteorological and space weather phenomena to HAO, examining whether existing meteorological and space weather services can adequately support these operations. It will also suggest alternative options or mitigation strategies and highlight any necessary regulatory amendments. Suppliers interested in this opportunity should refer to the provided link for more details.
