The CASCADE Programme |
 |
The CASCADE programme co-ordinates the European implementation of ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast), a surveillance technique that relies on aircraft broadcasting their identity, position and other aircraft information. This signal can be captured on the ground for surveillance purposes (ADS-B-out) or on board other aircraft for air traffic situational awareness (ADS-B-in) and airborne separation assistance. ADS-B-out has reached initial operational capability status in 2008, ADS-B-in for air traffic situational awareness in 2011. In order to meet the surveillance requirements of different environments, ADS-B-out can be used as a sole means of surveillance or in combination with radar or multi-lateration.
This website gives you an overview of the CASCADE programme, its applications, validation activities and implementation plans. You can also find dedicated information for Aircraft Operators and ANSPs and documents, FAQs and contacts. |

SRC Review Process of the "ADS-B in Non Radar" Safety Case completed ! |
 |
 |
| |
 |
At the 34th meeting of the Safety Regulation Commission in February 2009, the SRC approved a SRC Position Paper on the CASCADE Preliminary Safety Case ADS-B-NRA version 1.1 which had been the subject of a SRC Review Process conducted by representatives of National Supervisory Authorities/States.
The Preliminary Safety Case and the SRC Position Paper were developed with the objective to provide important reference material and input to assist ANSPs to produce their individual Local Safety Case for the ADS-B-NRA application and include important guidance and advice to local implementers and NSAs. |
