Welcome on the EUROCONTROL ASTERIX website !

What is ASTERIX ?

ASTERIX is the EUROCONTROL Standard for the exchange of Surveillance related data.
The acronym stands for "All Purpose STructured Eurocontrol SuRveillance Information EXchange".

ASTERIX provides a structured approach to a message format to be applied in the exchange of surveillance related information for various applications. Developed by the SuRveillance Data Exchange Task Force (RDE-TF) with its multinational participation, it ensures a common data representation, thereby facilitating the exchange of surveillance data in an international context.

Having started as a EUROCONTROL development (see the "history" section for further details), ASTERIX is now applied worldwide.

ASTERIX defines a structured approach to the encoding of surveillance data. Categories group the information related to a specific application. They consist of a number of data items which are defined in the ASTERIX documents down to the bit-level.
