Keywords: air traffic management, collision avoidance, separation assurance

This paper proposes a new automated separation management concept in which onboard decision support, based on decentralised separation management algorithms, is included within a centralised system. This approach allows the advantages of both centralised and decentralised concepts to be combined. Simulation studies are used to illustrate these benefits.
