Update on Military dimension of the plan
There are over 20 permanent military areas extending over FL95 in FIR EPWW that have impact on civil traffic flows and thereby can influence the horizontal flight efficiency indicator. Additionally in FIR EPWW recurring significant multinational NATO military exercises are held including: Anakonda, Astral Knight, AV-DET Rotation, Baltops, Defender, Dragon, Rammstein Guard, Tobruq Legacy. Due to large scale of those exercises there are aircraft stopovers and regroupings on military aerodromes in FIR EPWW that increase the load on ACC GAT and OAT Warszawa that might impact the route efficiency of civil aircrafts. Military aerodromes, including EPLK, EPKS, EPPW, EPMM, are located nearby the main civil aerodromes.
There are agreed procedures and LoA signed between PANSA and the Military side describing the process of airspace management at pre-tactical and tactical level in order to optimise its use. The procedures are continuously updated according to the current needs of both the civilian and military sides. The local ASM system (CAT) automatically exchanges the data with the Network Manager system. ASM information is available in ATM system, additionally published on website.
Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve environment and capacity
On strategic airspace management level all significant military exercises and permanent military areas are evaluated and analysed taking into account historic civil traffic flows and civil traffic predictions. The impact is consulted with the key stakeholders including neighbouring states, aerodrome operators, aircraft operators, ATS, the military, EUROCONTROL NM.
The locations of the military activities are, whenever possible, designed to not affect the main traffic flows, ATC routes, DCTs and POLFRA connectivity. Segmentation, time and level restrictions are imposed when needed to mitigate the impact in location in heavy traffic periods of day. If possible class C TRA airspace is implemented to minimize the impact on civil routing.
Military areas are always divided into smaller modules/segments. Each of these segments is designed in order to fit particular military activities without necessity to activate the whole area to perform specific military training assignments. The shape of these segments is always aligned with main civil traffic flows to minimize the horizontal flight inefficiency.
Special procedures are prepared including dynamic change of level or segment and creation of new temporary routings for avoidance of military traffic. Special coordination points are prepared in advance to improve the cooperation between military aircrafts and ATC arriving/departing to/from military areas. The information flow is guaranteed by internal procedures and Supporting Self Check-in Documents System.
Further measures planned to be implemented include:
- improvement/automation of exchange of information about military activity in segregated areas, especially on tactical level. Update of coordination procedures and local ASM support tool/system, which will reduce time required to release segregated areas back to civil traffic.
- implementation of closer cooperation between AMC Poland and FMP Warszawa in order to reduce as much as possible negative influence of segregated areas on civil traffic. Implementation of new coordination procedures taking into account forecasted demand of civil traffic on segregated airspace allocation in time on day of the operations.

The impact, depending on scale, is consulted with the key stakeholders including neighbouring states, aerodrome operators, aircraft operators, ATS, military, EUROCONTROL NM.
The lateral and vertical limits of the airspace elements published are designated considering the actual needs of users and nature of activities. All airspace elements shall be planned only for the time period necessary to perform the intended task. The user is obliged to specify precisely the period of activity of a selected element and all timely suspensions of activity between these periods

Annual review of the efficiency of airspace utilization is conducted.
