It’s important to really consider where your entry is adding value and if it’s true innovation or more towards one of the other topics.
Collaborative operations for sustainable skies – Successful partnerships between ANSPs, industry, aircraft operators, research organisations, and others to deliver new levels of airspace management performance – improving safety, reducing delays and environmental impact while delivering a more cost-effective operational outcome.
Innovation to enable safer, more efficient operations – Celebrating projects that explore the latest innovations demonstrating how cutting-edge technologies such as digitisation, virtualisation, and artificial intelligence can enhance performance, efficiency, safety, sustainability, and capacity in airspace operations.
Building the lower airspace economy – Acknowledging the work that has been done to prepare lower airspace for safe and efficient new entrant operations (drones, eVTOLs, and personal flying vehicles), including integration with current ATM systems and procedures.
Remarkable people & workforce – Celebrating the contribution that individuals, teams or company programmes have made to the airspace management industry – which could be ensuring the continuance of operations during crises or delivering an improved performance to customers.
