PANSA ARES 1.0
Current JSON

Abstract

PANSA ARES provided by the CAT (Common Airspace Tool - ASM Support System used at PANSA) system enables standardised and real‑time exchange of information on static airspace structures, reservations and their activations/deactivations. It provides data on airspace and its status, but also accepts requests for airspace reservations. The service allows authorised external systems to request or subscribe to updates, supporting improved situational awareness and coordination in airspace management processes. PANSA ARES implements selected SWIM service interfaces compliant with EUROCONTROL specifications, ensuring interoperability and harmonised information exchange with other ATM stakeholders at local and FAB level.

PANSA

PANSA is responsible for air traffic management and navigation services in Poland. The key activities of the organisation include airspace management and ensuring safe and efficient flow of air traffic. Every day, the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) takes care of the safety of passengers of about 2 500 aircraft moving over Poland, and coordinates thousands of drone flights out of nearly 1 million registered in the PansaUTM system. The airspace we supervise and control covers more than 334 000 square kilometers and is one of the largest in Europe. PANSA is the only institution in Poland that trains and employs civilian air traffic controllers.

Operational / Business Context

PANSA ARES supports operational airspace management by providing standardised, real-time access to both static and dynamic airspace data, including reservations and activation statuses. It is designed to meet the standards required by ANSPs and other authorized entities. This enables external stakeholders to receive the most up-to-date information on airspace status, enhances situational awareness, and facilitates collaborative coordination at national and FAB levels. The service supports also the airspace booking process. It is fully aligned with European ATM digitalisation initiatives and ensures interoperability with other systems through compliance with EUROCONTROL SWIM specifications.

Capabilities of the service

The implementation of the SWIM solution provides external users with access to two basic types of data:

  • static data on airspace elements,
  • data on airspace element reservations and their activity status,

along with mechanisms for filtering these data.

The above is implemented using mechanisms enabling the receipt of information about the status of airspace in real time, upon prior request from an external user (Publish/Subscribe and Request/Response mechanisms).

Publication

Enables the management of updates based on subscriptions by external users.

Local airspace structure

Allows external users to retrieve airspace structures and activity data from within the ASM Support System (CAT system).

Airspace status

Enables external users to retrieve activation data held within the ASM Support System (CAT system).

Booking

Supports airspace reservation processes, enabling real-time management of reservations in both national and international contexts.

Local Airspace Structure

The Local Airspace Structure interface provides access to key information about airspace structures and activities in ASM systems, enabling users to monitor this data for the purpose of managing reservations and tracking the current status of airspace.

Booking

The Booking interface supports airspace reservation processes, enabling real-time management of reservations in both national and international contexts. It allows reservations to be modified, enabling better synchronisation and coordination of activities within the airspace.

Airspace Status

The Airspace Status interface provides real-time information on airspace activations managed by the ASM system, including the ability to track both actual changes in activation status and planned airspace usage.
