How can military and civil air traffic controllers better share European airspace so flights are safer?

A system developed by Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC) experts is currently operational at the Air Operations Control Station of the Royal Netherlands Air Force at Nieuw Milligen, The Netherlands.
