By implementing Project Activities of the following 3 Outputs in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam.

Output-1:

Capacity development for establishing Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) Flight Procedures

Performance-Based Navigation (PBN): New navigation technique of modern aircraft, utilizing positioning signals from satellites, such as GPS, and signals from ground facilities, and computing aircraft positions by on-board navigation systems more accurate and timely than before. PBN is considered as the core technique and operations of new CNS/ATM, and will enable safer and more efficient routes to be designed and implemented.

Output-2:

Development of training system for air traffic controllers and air navigation technical staff on the new CNS/ATM systems

New  Communications/Navigation/Surveillance and Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) Systems: General term of air traffic services (ATS) system in the next generation, utilizing satellite technologies. PBN operations will be achievable with progressive implementation of new CNS/ATM systems, and highly integrated ATM operations will enhance safety and efficiency of air craft operations. New CNS/ATM systems will also enhance airspace capacity to respond to the increasing air transport demands.

Output-3:

Development of safety oversight system by implementing SMS in air navigation services

Safety Management System (SMS): Comprehensive, systematic and proactive approach to safety in regulator and service provider organizations, aimed at detecting risks (dangers), analyzing risks, implementing mitigating methods, and monitoring safety occurrences.SMS implementation is required in airlines, airports and air traffic services in accordance with ICAO’s international standards.
