The airport operation of today is built upon a very complex chain of events that all contribute to every flight. All these events are important and almost all need to be completed before the flight crew can begin their process of preparing the aircraft for departure. If one of the essential contributors fail or become late in their process, the flight will be delayed which has a knock-on effect on the whole downstream network. Many processes are affected by delays, but one example is that the unknown variance in departure times that is introduced due to delays, this affects the total airspace picture. The hypothesis behind the proposed D-SAM platform is built upon the exchange of information between the different contributors effecting the total airspace picture. The exchange of information is believed to enhance the situational awareness and predictability of every flight, ground operation, and air traffic controller using the D-SAM platform.
