June 29 2007 – ObjectSecurity, the leading solutions provider for secure information sharing in mission-critical industries today announced that it joins the already running EU FP6 SWIM-SUIT project: SYSTEM WIDE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT-SUPPORTED BY INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES. It supports the development of technologies for System Wide Information Management (SWIM) for the future SESAR air traffic management system. This STREP with a total budget of 11,8 M€ provides vital input into SWIM for SESAR, the next generation air traffic management system across Europe.
The main objectives of the project is a feasibility study of a System Wide Information Management (SWIM) implementation: Specification of the requirements for the SWIM prototype, validation of the technologies identified as enablers of the SWIM concept, and assessment of the organisational, legal and financial implications.
