We continue to develop use cases for our work, a selection of which are:

• Enabling optimum airspace usage. We can evaluate the impact of military mission planning on civil users. With this knowledge, the military can assure civil users that mission planning will balance national security needs with commercial and environmental concerns.

• Strategic airspace design. We are able to model optimum horizontal routes for civil users, study the interactions related to military airspace reservations, civil route closures (to manage capacity constraints), unplanned airspace denial due to environmental activity (volcanic ash) and more permanently closed airspace (for geopolitical reasons).

• Optimisation of military airspace reservations. Our longer-term offer is to provide a daily information feed to military mission planners, indicating where best to position training missions to minimise the environmental impact. By adjusting the location and timing of military airspace activations, the overall impact on civil flights is minimised at the pre-tactical phase (D-48 hrs); and is therefore invisible to airlines.

• Spaceport launch and recovery airspace requirements.  Increased commercial access to space has revealed the need for optimal airspace management to reduce the effects of large reservations for extended periods of time.  Our Airspace design and management capability can tailor specific airspace reservation requirements to meet the needs of Launch and Recovery operations, while minimising the impact on other airspace users.

• ANSP charging and revenue analysis. Our tools can inform on the impacts of route charges on traffic flows and how to minimise environmental impacts through appropriate charging. Additional analysis can demonstrate the revenue impact of changing traffic patterns, e.g. from new airports and geopolitical forces.

• Areas of Contrail persistence.  Developing strategies associated with advance forecasting to identify areas of contrail persistence, and create action plans to help reduce the environmental impact of the contrails.
