This solution enhances the effectiveness of real-time simulations (RTS) in the SESAR validation process by providing a distributed/federated real-time simulation (D/F-RTS) framework. It addresses both the technical and economic dimensions of cybersecure D/F-RTS to strengthen the validation of air traffic management (ATM) systems, ensuring their robustness, scalability, flexibility, and security in real-world operational environments.

Additionally, the solution introduces new methods to assess human performance (HP) and cybersecurity aspects within D/F-RTS frameworks, ensuring that validation accounts for both remote operator behaviour and the resilience of aviation systems.

The framework enables complex validation exercises, allowing multiple remotely connected simulators and the remote participation of exercise participants without compromising the ability to assess HP and cybersecurity aspects.
