Validation Plan

Abstract

The objective of the EMMA2 Validation process is to assess the potential operational impacts of the proposed A-SMGCS Operational Concept and explore its performance in terms of complying with the relevant requirements and needs of the stakeholders involved in the ATM. This goal is achieved through the implementation of the E-OCVM (European-Operational Concept Validation Methodology). The E-OCVM constitutes a widely accepted Validation Methodology which has been based on the experience gained in ATM R&D activities within the framework of EC and EUROCONTROL funded projects. The EMMA2 generic validation strategy aims to incorporate the E-OCVM steps in to the EMMA2 validation process. In this framework, the EMMA2 Generic Validation Strategy provides a coherent description of the EMMA2 validation steps, activities, and tools emerging from the E-OCVM.
