SESAR Solutions are very much the end product of the SESAR research and innovation
pipeline. However these solutions would not see the light of day if it were not for a
number of important transversal elements and activities that support and frame
the operational and technological work. These transversal elements, working in the
shadows of the programme, ensure that the end products fully fit with the SESAR vision
and meet the necessary criteria, whether they have to do with the system, service and
operational architectures, the key performance ambitions or the required cost-benefit
analysis and business case. These elements are complementary to one another and
are regularly reviewed to ensure alignment with the SESAR vision.
