The THAUMAS initiative (Tailored and Harmonised satcom for ATM Uses, Maximising re-use of Aero SwiftBroadband) has been defined in line with the Artes 10 objectives. Starting from the well proven SwiftBroadband technology, the project will define the upgrades needed to offer ATM services. The resulting system, called SB-S (SwiftBroadband-Safety) will be designed for compliance with stringent services and applications defined in the frame of the SESAR programme.
THAUMAS will define and start the validation of the upgrades to SwiftBroadband required to achieve Continental Safety Services as a complement to the future terrestrial ATM services being developed by the SESAR programme.

For almost thirty years from now, the Cospas-Sarsat worldwide Search and Rescue satellite system has been in operation, rescuing more than 26 000 distress victims. The scope in the Cospas-Sarsat Antennas project is to develop a body-worn antenna, suitable to be integrated into a life vest platform together with a commercial Cospas-Sarsat distress transmitter.
The project ISIDE intends to develop,
implement and validate a satellite based system of NCinema (N for networked), oriented at providing a range
of services and applications in the field of D- (Digital)
and E- (Electronic) Cinema. Over a period of two years,
the project realises a permanent validation platform for N-Cinema, in order to cover the complete representation
of the relevant service value chains. The objective will
be to validate and promote different forms of
exploitation of the theatres, ranging from featuring
digital movies, digital advertising and alternative
contents to live events, shows in virtual reality and
interactive applications.
