Air Traffic Management was in the spotlight as ATM-EXCITE participated in the 19th International Scientific Conference on New Trends in Aviation Development (NTAD 2024), held on 28–29 November 2024 in the High Tatras, Slovak Republic. The event brought together leading aviation researchers and industry experts to discuss emerging trends in aerospace technology and operations.
ATM-EXCITE’s role in advancing ATM innovation
Representing the ATM-EXCITE consortium, Miroslav Kelemen, Matej Antoška, and Branko Mikula (TUKE), engaged in technical sessions focused on enhancing aviation safety, resilience, and performance through next-generation systems. They showcased the project’s contributions to civil-military coordination and digital transformation in aviation.
Key topics covered at NTAD 2024
Participants explored critical areas, including:
Air Traffic Management – Modernising operations through efficiency and interoperability
Aircraft design – Advancements in materials and aerodynamics
Avionic systems – Incorporating AI and cybersecurity
Aerodynamics and fuel efficiency – Reducing emissions through innovation
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) – Integrating drones into shared airspace
These topics reflect ATM-EXCITE’s strategic focus on secure, coordinated, and digital aviation systems.
Collaborative innovation in aviation
NTAD 2024 provided a valuable platform for exchanging ideas and showcasing advances in Air Traffic Management and broader aviation technologies. Our team gained strategic insights that will inform the project’s ongoing development of civil-military coordination tools and cybersecurity frameworks.
