Air transport will further expand in the next two decades. New airliners, runways, passenger terminals and computer assisted or automated Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems will be necessary to accommodate the increasing traffic. The new ATC systems will require computer assisted planning, digital datalinks between ATC computers and aircraft computer systems and improved worldwide communication, navigation and surveillance systems (partly satellite-based). To further improve safety levels, apart from improved ATC infrastructure, training and procedures, also an enhanced 'safety net' of warning systems to alert the pilot for imminent ground collision, windshear and mid-air collision will have to be developed. Finally the Man-Machine Interface (based on Synthetic and Enhanced Vision) will have to be developed to provide improved situational awareness and enable quick interpretation of and reaction to warning signals as well as to allow safe operation to and from minimally equipped airports.
