During the experiment the test team successfully:

Generated an artificial ash cloud over the bay of Biscay by releasing a tonne of volcanic ash using an A400M aircraft.
Measured the ash concentration with a small aircraft flying through the ash cloud
Flew an A340-300 fitted with the AVOID sensor towards the ash cloud and successfully identified the ash from distances of 60km as well as accurately measuring its concentration
easyJet plans to continue development with a view to mounting stand-alone units on some of its current fleet of aircraft by the end of 2014 thereby providing a solution which would mean we should not encounter the widespread air space closures of 2010 again
