EUROCAE and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) have signed an updated Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), reiterating their commitment to strengthen collaboration in the fields of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and aviation standardisation.
The agreement aims to enhance interoperability and contribute to a globally harmonised information infrastructure. It will support the development, ratification and testing of globally applicable standards in areas of mutual interest, including WG-72 Aeronautical Systems Security, WG-82 New Air-Ground Data Link Technologies, WG-105 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), WG-119 Radar Altimeters, and WG-124 Spectrum.
Through the MoU, EUROCAE and ETSI have established a framework for closer cooperation, including the exchange of ideas and expertise, joint participation in technical activities, and reciprocal observer roles in the relevant technical groups.
Jan Ellsberger, Director General of ETSI, said the partnership will “help avoid duplication of work, maximise synergies and ultimately benefit all stakeholders by enabling the deployment of secure and interoperable ICT systems for aviation and beyond”.
EUROCAE said the new MoU reflects the evolving nature of the aviation ecosystem and the increasing importance of digital and communication technologies in delivering safe, sustainable, and connected skies.
