INDUSTRY UPDATE / RECORD 34
SESAR ARTEMISA begins a 36-month programme for modular, interoperable air-traffic-service platforms.
The SESAR ARTEMISA project began in September 2026. The SESAR project page and ENAIRE’s 28 September announcement describe next-generation en-route and terminal-area air-traffic-service platforms, a modular service-oriented architecture, automation, interoperability and cyber-secure information exchange. ARTEMISA is air-traffic-management research. It is not a C-UAS procurement, a drone-detection product announcement, or evidence of a specific operational outcome.
PUBLIC RECORD / 01
The confirmed record is a European ATM research programme with a defined 36-month project period.
SESAR records ARTEMISA as an ongoing industrial-research project from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The programme involves Indra and the iTEC Alliance’s named air-navigation-service providers. Its modular architecture and interoperability objectives are relevant background for platform-oriented airspace discussions. They do not demonstrate low-altitude sensing performance, counter-UAS capability, airspace-management deployment or approval of any specific system.

WHAT THE PUBLIC RECORD SAYS / 02
The sources substantiate an ATS-platform research programme, its timeframe and stated design direction.
The public record concerns en-route and terminal-area air traffic services; it should not be recast as a counter-drone technology announcement.
Project duration
The SESAR project record lists ARTEMISA as running from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, a 36-month period.
Stated platform scope
The programme is described as advancing next-generation air-traffic-service platforms for en-route and terminal-area operations, not as a C-UAS system.
Architecture language
SESAR and ENAIRE describe modular, service-oriented or open and interoperable architecture, cyber-secure information exchange and increased automation as project directions.
Named collaboration
The project record identifies Indra and the iTEC Alliance’s air-navigation-service-provider participants. Participation establishes a research consortium, not deployed features or operational results.
PROJECT READING / 03
Platform interoperability is relevant context, but airspace management and C-UAS remain distinct project questions.
The disciplined reading is to take architecture direction as context while preserving the different authorities, safety cases and evidence needed for each operating domain.
Keep domains distinct
ATM platform research, U-space services, authorised low-altitude awareness and C-UAS projects may intersect in governance discussions, but they are not interchangeable product or procurement categories.
Read interoperability carefully
Modular architecture can frame future interface conversations. It does not prove that a particular data source, sensor or platform is connected, approved or suitable today.
Retain aviation authority
Changes involving aviation information, safety, privacy, cybersecurity or operational decision support require competent authority, accountability and validated controls.
Avoid premature claims
Project fit must be assessed through written requirements, responsible human review and lawful validation rather than inferred from a research programme’s stated ambition.
SOURCE & PROJECT BOUNDARY / 04
This record covers an ATM research programme, not a C-UAS platform deployment or drone-security performance claim.
01The reviewed SESAR and ENAIRE records support ARTEMISA’s start, 36-month timeframe, named collaborators and stated modular, interoperable ATS-platform direction. They do not support a C-UAS procurement, deployment or performance conclusion.
02Any relationship between broader ATM modernisation and low-altitude security is interpretive project context. The source does not say that ARTEMISA delivers a specific drone-detection, identification, tracking or response capability.
03This article includes no sensor placement, thresholds, algorithms, target selection, signal control, navigation manipulation, intervention, operational response flow or performance guarantee. Aviation-related work requires lawful authority, safety and protected-service safeguards, accountable human review and written validation.
