Known for its conservatism as a guarantee of maintaining security, air traffic control is in the process of initiating a small revolution. That of the deployment in France of a tool using artificial intelligence in all air navigation en route centers (CRNA) by the end of the year. Called Sinaps, the project was developed by the French aerospace research center (Onera). “The implementation of artificial intelligence in an air traffic control operational process constitutes, to our knowledge, a world first», underlines Romain Kervarc, head of a research unit at Onera.
However, the emergence of artificial intelligence is taking place within non-critical operations. For the moment, there is no question of it interfering in the management of aircraft trajectories. Sinaps is a tool aimed at facilitating the reconfiguration of areas that operators must control. To understand clearly, he said that there are five control centers in France which distribute French air traffic “en route”, that is to say when the aircraft are in cruise phase. Each center has an area of responsibility to manage, itself divided into different elementary sectors which, depending on the density of air traffic, are grouped into control sectors piloted by pairs.
