In this paper we present a novel approach to automation design based on the joint design of two different tools, with different automation levels, different maturity levels, different application domains and different users characteristics. We show the opportunities and challenges brought by a joint design of Separation Assurance support tools for General Aviation and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems. We propose a methodology and tools for identifying and validating common requirements, thus creating a common core which forms the grounding for the development of two dedicated tools.
