Avionic system developers are faced with the challenge of researching and introducing innovative technologies that satisfy the requirements arising from the rapid expansion of global air transport while addressing the growing concerns for environmental sustainability of the aviation sector. As a consequence, novel systems are being developed in the Communication, Navigation and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) and Avionics (CNS+A) context. The introduction of dedicated software modules in Next Generation Flight Management Systems (NG-FMS), which are the primary providers of automated navigation and guidance services in manned aircraft and Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), has the potential to enable the significant advances brought in by time based operations. In this paper, key elements of the NG-FMS architecture are presented that allow the incorporation of 4-Dimensional Trajectory (4DT) planning and optimisation with inclusion of CNS integrity monitoring and augmentation functions in the overall design. The NG-FMS is designed to be fully interoperable with a future ground based 4DT Planning, Negotiation and Validation (4-PNV) system, enabling automated Trajectory/Intent-Based Operations (TBO/IBO). The mathematical models for 4DT planning are presented and the CNS integrity performance criteria are identified for various mission- and safety-critical tasks. Evaluation of the proposed concepts and methodologies is performed through dedicated simulation test case. The results demonstrate the functional capability of the NG-FMS to generate cost-effective trajectory profiles satisfying operational as well as environmental constraints.
