manager for communications and command systems. From 1989 to 1992 he headed up
the fixed communication networks business unit. He was Chairman and CEO of Auxilec,
a subsidiary of Thomson-CSF, from 1992 to 1999, when he was appointed Senior
Executive Vice President of Sextant (now called Thales Avionics).
He is a member of the following: GIFAS (French Aerospace Industry Association),
ASD (Aerospace and Defence, Industries Association of Europe)
He is also Special Advisor to the French Transport Ministry for the creation of CORAC
(Conseil pour la Recherche A閞onautique Civile) and Co-Chairman of ACARE
(Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe).
Could you please remind Skyway
readers of the primary role and
tasks of ACARE?
ACARE stands for 揂dvisory Council for
Aeronautics Research in Europe?and
is an aerospace technology-focused
platform. Its members are all European
stakeholders in the fields of aeronautics
and air transport: industry players,
research centres, academia, airports,
airlines, regulators, the European
Commission and Member States.
ACARE was founded in 2000 by a
group of personalities under the leadership
of European Commissioner Philippe
Busquin, initially resulting in what was
termed the ?020 vision? This, in turn,
led to a Strategic Research Agenda
broken down into five High-Level
Target Concepts: Cost-Efficiency, Time
Efficiency, Highly Customer-oriented,
Security, Green Air Transport and,
more widely, the 22nd Century. Work
is currently in progress on a revised
Strategic Research Agenda with a timeframe
that stretches beyond 2020 to
2040 and 2050.
ACARE抯 ultimate objective is to define a
mid- to long-term aeronautical research
agenda, which is then rolled out in a
coordinated, harmonised manner by its
members. The deliverables are aimed
at maintaining the competitiveness of
the European aerospace industry and
meeting the needs of society at large.
ACARE抯 priorities are based on both a
business perspective and how to meet
the requirements of the market. Specific
initiatives have been created to deal
with the concrete and permanent issues
of each objective, such as the SESAR
(Single European Sky ATM Research)
Programme for Time Efficiency aspects
(improved efficiency within airspace) and
the Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative
for more environmentally-oriented projects
(development of technologies to
provide cleaner aircraft). Both SESAR
and Clean Sky are very much underway
and have rapidly become part of the
aeronautical landscape. Both have been
granted significant budgets in line with
recommendations formulated as part of
ACARE抯 Strategic Research Agenda.
This pays testimony to the credibility and
influence of ACARE actions.
Another example of ACARE initiating a
change is the deployment of Europe抯
Seventh Framework Programme, which
is totally in alignment with the ACARE
agenda.
International cooperation, another key
aspect of ACARE, is also gaining pace,
as coordinated work is taking shape with
key strategic countries including Russia,
India and China.
Finally, one of ACARE抯 initial objectives
was also to obtain 搈ore research for

our money? This has been achieved, as
the increased levels of coordination have
made for less duplication, more consistency,
greater scope and fewer gaps in
the R&T activities of our stakeholders.
What are the main challenges
facing Europe抯 air transport
system in terms of accommodating
the expected traffic
growth and doing so in a
sustainable manner? How will
research help to address these
challenges?
Despite the current economic slowdown
which the air transport industry is today
facing, we are still expecting, in the long
term, to see stable growth over the next
twenty years.
The main challenges that we have to
meet in accommodating this growth
will be in terms both of environmental
and safety issues. The air transport
system will have to evolve from what it
is today: from a juxtaposition of diverse
systems towards a 搒ystem-of-systems?
approach. ACARE has always adopted
a strategic, global approach to aeronautical
R&T, considering the whole air transport
function as an integrated system, a
kind of gate-to-gate approach in which
all systems are seamless, interdependent
and interoperable. This system of
