Regional Collaboration
Platform

The RCP is a freely accessible cloud-based experimentation platform tailored to the region’s need

Through the Regional Collaboration Platform, we foster shared understanding and accelerate iteration and co-develop a common plan forward

The Regional Collaboration Platform (RCP) is an open, cloud-based sandbox designed for experimentation and rapid prototyping. Freely accessible to regional partners, it comes equipped with built-in tools and representative data to support realistic testing. Most importantly, RCP enables collaborative exploration of regional ATM concepts in a risk-free environment  helping stakeholders shape the future of air traffic management together.

Gradually unlocking new technologies for ATM use , through research and collaboration in the APAC region.

RCP development journey

2019 - 2023

Initializing Capabilities

Leveraging the capabilities built since 2019, the focus is to equip the RCP with foundational capabilities to enable a common situational awareness for the region. The ambition was to build a platform for regional experimentation using open technologies and data, accessible via cloud technologies.

2024

Regional Awareness as the First Use Case

The RCP, powered by live and historical data and flight plans, provides real-time 4D flight data, offering users enhanced and accurate situational awareness by leveraging the following tools and capabilities:

  • Global Source Connections
  • Surveillance Data Fusion
  • Global Flight Plans
  • 4D trajectory prediction
  • Estimated boundary crossing
  • Prototyping display themes
  • Traffic demand over Hotspots

2025

Regional Engagement with FF-ICE as second use case

Progressive onboarding of APAC ANSPs onto the Regional Collaboration Platform with a focus on FF-ICE/R1 to address regional operational needs. Deployment of the full FF-ICE stack and HMI for eASP and eAU, enable stakeholders to seamlessly manage and visualize flight plans. Introduction of a hybrid mode enabling “what-if” analysis on live or planned flights, supporting proactive decision-making.

2026

Strengthening Regional Use Cases

The engagement effort is evolving towards structured collaboration with ANSPs to identify and develop additional high-impact use cases, such as advanced weather forecasting and city-pair optimization, to enhance operational efficiency.
