From 25-27 May, we were pleased to take part in #AirspaceWorld2026 in #Lisbon, Portugal, presenting #Leonardo’s vision for the future of aviation connectivity and digital infrastructure.

⏰ Reminder | Tomorrow at 17:00 CET Don’t miss the “SESAR Hyper Connected ATM precursor (HYCON)” webinar, an overview of the principles, key functions and latest developments driving next-generation ATM connectivity. Register to join: sesarju.eu/node/5241

📅 #SaveTheDate | 25 November 2025, 17:00–18:00 CET 🖥️“SESAR Hyper Connected ATM precursor” Discover HYCON - the Hybrid Communication Network developed within #FCDI to support communication-infrastructure modernisation and rising datalink needs. More info: sesarju.eu/node/5241

The Hybrid Communication Network (#HYCON) has been successfully validated as part of the @SESAR_JU #FCDI “Hyper Connected ATM Precursor” Exercise 3, using LTE and Starlink links. Combining public and aviation radios will boost ATM today and tomorrow.

#FCDI Solution “FCI services – IPS Enhancements” Exercise 5, focusing on interoperability of ATN/IPS backbones based on different mobility technologies, has started. With this development, it lays the foundations for future IPS ground infrastructures global interoperability.

Integration of the Hybrid Communication Network (HYCON) into ATN/IPS mobility & multilink has begun under FCDI Solution 0340 “FCI services – IPS Enhancements” Exercise 1. Using public and aviation radio technologies for safety-critical comms will boost today’s and tomorrow’s ATM.

Validation Exercise 3 of the #SESAR #FCDI project is now testing Selective Simulcast: a function replicating data across multiple A/G datalinks to reduce latency & improve availability, continuity and safety in ATC communications. #EuropeanDigitalSky @SESAR_JU
