European Operational Concept Validation Methodology - E-OCVM |
|
|
|
|
Version 3 of E-OCVM has been produced with under the direction of the E-OCVM Supervisory Board with contributions from the CAATS II and Episode 3 projects funded by the European Commission (EC) DG Transport under the 6th Framework. Programme. Integration and publication have been managed by EUROCONTROL.
The Supervisory Board was created and mandated by the EC/EUROCONTROL Joint Programme Board (JPB) in the year 2005 with the objective to manage the Validation Forum and to further develop the E-OCVM. It is chaired by EUROCONTROL and has representation from the EC, DFS representing the European ANSPs, EATRADA/AT-One representing the research centres, Indra representing ground Industry, Isdefe representing CAATS II, and EUROCONTROL. For the last 18 months the SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) has been present as an observer. Following completion of Version 3, SJU as the successor to JPB will take on responsibility for any further development which may/may not be required.

Version 3 remains consistent with previous versions but places operational concept validation within the larger context of ATM system development and extends the E-OCVM in three important areas:
1. The management of stakeholder expectations through transversal cases for Safety, Business, Human Factors, Environment, Standards and Regulation. This is primarily based on CAATS II with additional input from the Agency specialists in the transversal areas.
2. Concept maturity assessment and the management of transitions through the lifecycle, based on cooperation between EUROCONTROL Strategic Assessment of ATM R&D Results (SARD) and CAATS II.
3. Better understanding of managing validation activities and clarification of relationship between programme, project and exercise.
E-OCVM remains a framework for validation intended to achieve consistency and coherency in validation while leaving freedom to choose the most practical approaches and methods.
