JARVIS Project, Final Meeting at CIRA: results and perspectives for the future of ATM

On 6 May 2026, CIRA hosted the final Project Management Board meeting of the JARVIS project, a flagship within the “Artificial Intelligence for Aviation” area of the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking. Co-funded by Horizon Europe and launched on 1 June 2023, the project has developed advanced industrial research solutions based on Artificial Intelligence to support the evolution of aviation towards increasing levels of automation.

The project is coordinated by Collins Aerospace and involves, as Solution Leaders, Collins Aerospace, CIRA, and Athens International Airport, together with the contributing partners: ENAV, Leonardo, Deep Blue, NAIS, Indra, ENAIRE, Airbus, DLR, NLR, Boeing, École Nationale de l’Aviation Civile and Eurocontrol.

In particular, JARVIS has designed, developed, and validated three Digital Assistants – Airborne (AIR-DA), Air Traffic Control (ATC-DA), and Airport (AP-DA) – intended to operate in complex ATM scenarios, contributing to improved safety, cost efficiency, operational capacity, and environmental sustainability.

All project activities have been successfully completed. The prototypes were validated through real-time exercises, reaching TRL4. The final meeting represents an opportunity for the project partners to share achieved results, refine presentations and demonstrations for for the Final Event of 7 May 2026, and discuss the next steps.
