Toulouse, November 20, 2025 — The joint final event of the SESAR projects ASTAIR and HYPERSOLVER was successfully hosted at the ENAC (École Nationale de l’Aviation Civile) facilities in Toulouse. The meeting, held on November 20, 2025 , served as a crucial opportunity to present to stakeholders and air traffic controllers the advanced results achieved in the field of Connected and Automated ATM.
The initiative saw the participation of approximately 30 professionals on-site, in addition to about ten remote attendees connected online. As part of the SESAR Flagship for Connected and automated ATM, both projects are advancing a future where hyper-connectivity and highly automated systems work seamlessly to enhance safety, efficiency, and scalability.
Morning session focus: AI in ATM
The morning session, held in the Amphi Breguet, commenced with registration and a brief welcome, followed by in-depth presentations from the respective project teams, ASTAIR and HYPERSOLVER.
The core of the morning was the Technical Deep Dive on “The feasibility and future of AI in ATM,” which featured presentations from industry experts including Victor Tuvesson (LFV), Matteo Cavaletti (Eurocontrol), Mathieu Cousy (ENAC), Jean-Louis Raoul (NeoMetSys), and Vladimíra Čanádyová (Deep Blue). The discussion with the audience was highly engaged, focusing on four primary areas: the conditions for effective collaboration in Human-AI teaming, operational acceptability and AI interface ergonomics, the evolution of roles and skills in the age of AI, and the critical comparison of Workload reduction between myth and reality.
The materials from the morning session, including the event recording and the two project presentations, are now available for viewing:
- ASTAIR presentation
- HYPERSOLVER presentation

Practical Demonstrations at the ACHIL Platform
In the afternoon, the on-site participants were transferred to the ACHIL platform for the demonstration sessions. This practical session, following a short introduction, offered the invited guests the opportunity to directly test the innovative solutions developed by the ASTAIR and HYPERSOLVER projects. Both participants and organizers expressed satisfaction with the effectiveness of the trials and the opportunity to experience firsthand the technologies underpinning the next generation of automated systems.
The ASTAIR and HYPERSOLVER projects are co-funded by the European Union within the SESAR Joint Undertaking.
