The key objective of ProGA is to prototype a system that can continually and automatically predict the future flight corridor (a 4D trajectory plus some uncertainty), or the volume of operation, of a light GA aircraft in-flight.

DESCRIPTION
ProGA developed and validated a concept of technologies and systems able to perform two main functions: flight path acquisition and processing, and flight path prediction. The prediction is based on statistics from historical flights in a specific area and shared planned routes of other traffic.
ProGA aims to move beyond instantaneous electronic visibility of traffic towards a traffic picture of future airspace occupation. The following ProGA applications are studied:
The ProGA prototype consists of an application running on a tablet.
The solution is tested and evaluated during flight simulation sessions with real GA pilots.
OUR ROLE:
Deep Blue leads the design, prototyping, and evaluation of ProGA solution.
We develop the algorithms and the logic behind:
We are responsible of the design, development and evaluation of a usable and suitable HMI, involving GA pilots in the process, as final users of the ProGA solution.
