SESAR 2020 PJ08 – DAC Concept
• The Dynamic Airspace Configuration (DAC) Concept in SESAR research S2020 programme:
• Sector design not based on a fixed route network but optimized on user preferred routing in a free route environment.
• Airspace Configurations, designed and managed dynamically, that provide flexibility and respond to performance objectives that vary in time and place.
• Introduction of flexible reservations areas (DMA) to replace when possible the use of static areas (i.e. military)

What is DAC
• DAC is an Airspace Capacity Management ToolboxPart of the Demand & Capacity Balancing (DCB) process
• Flexible & Automated Airspace design, anticipating resources (ATCOs) needed to manage forecasted AUs’ traffic demand
Dynamic ATC sectors border design
• Airspace Capacity management using non-predefined configurations
Non predefined Sectors Configurations, including Cross-border Airspace Configurations
• Performance oriented, in a Full Free Route Airspace environment
• Civil/Military Coordination: Dynamic Mobile Areas of two types - DMA type 1 and 2
