Keywords: wake vortex safety, model/sensor fusion, enhanced wake vortex tracking

The integrated concept for collaboration of wake vortex prediction and measurement is introduced. This approach has the ability to increase airport and air space capacity while maintaining or even improving current wake vortex safety. The aspect of requirements resulting for the prediction model and measurement sensor is presented in detail.
