Iris, Element 10 of the ARTES Programme, is the ESA programme to develop a new Air-Ground communication system for Air Traffic Management as the satellite-based communication solution for the SESAR programme. Phase Two of the programme is planned to start in 2009 and focuses on the development of a new satellite-based communication system including a new satellite communication standard, which performance will be validated end-to-end with a subset of the infrastructure required for the future European ATM System.
