European Operational Concept Validation Methodology

1. European Operational Concept Validation Methodology E-OCVM Version 3: What’s New Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event Matthias Poppe DFS Episode 3 Brussels, 13 & 14 Oct 2009

2. Brief History • Why do we need an Operational Concept Validation methodology? • “To improve the transfer from R&D to operations… a common ATM validation methodology is needed”(B. van Houtte, L. Breslin, B. Redeborn, April 2005) • Version 1 and 2 of the E-OCVM define this common methodology • Concept Lifecycle Model (V0, V1, …) • Structured Planning Framework (Strategy, Plan, Report) • Case Based Approach (Safety, Human Factors, …) "Establishing fitness-for-purpose" Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event

3. Version 3: What’s New? • Main new aspects are • Emphasis towards integrated Concept Development Lifecycle • Assessment of concept maturity and lifecycle transitions • Management of stakeholder expectations through cases • Methodology Version 3 continues to be a framework for R&D conduct • It extends version 2 based on previous experience, e.g. Lessons Learnt from Episode 3 • To better address large scale validation • Involving complex concepts with performance targets • Addresses the need to construct a sound basis for decision making Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event

4. Concept Development Lifecycle Emphasis on Integrated Approach: Link between Validation, Verification and Concept Definition V0 V1 V2 V3 Concept definition V1 Scope V2 Feasibility V3 Integration Needs Validation Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event Verification Requirements What evidence & maturity becomes available at what stage? Can we do the transition to the next phase?

5. Maturity and Transitions • Maturity Assessment process is being defined • Manage the progress from ATM Needs to Implementation • Identify research needs, define performance targets • Includes project monitoring and steering • At exercise level decide of what has to be done next • Ensure meeting the transition criteria for the next phase • Definition of studies, validation exercises • Detailed transition criteria Vn to Vn+1 available • Based on R&D needs and key questions to be answered • Example: V2-V3 Operational viability (User acceptance, safety analysis, Human Factors) reached? • Evidence comes from validation exercises and case development Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
