The Future of Surveillance
08 Feb 2011
The current surveillance infrastructure is mainly composed of mono-pulse (secondary surveillance radar (SSR), SSR Mode-S and primary surveillance radars (PSRs).
Summary of Terminology
08 Feb 2011
Aeronautical Surveillance System is defined in ICAO Doc 9924 as a system that:
- "provides the aircraft position and other related information to ATM and/or airborne users. In most cases, an aeronautical surveillance system provides its user with knowledge of "who" is "where" and "when". Other information provided may include horizontal and vertical speed data, identifying characteristics or intent. The required data and its technical performance parameters are specific to the application that is being used. As a minimum, the aeronautical surveillance system provides position information on aircraft or vehicles at a known time".
2011 marks two decades of ARTAS success
09 Nov 2011
ARTAS has guaranteed high-quality surveillance data for European aviation, and supported interoperability by constantly promoting worldwide standards for surveillance data exchange.
Validation
08 Feb 2011
The validation work of CASCADE addresses the ADS-B systems and applications, primarily through trials transitioning to deployment.
European Commission SES SPI IR Legislation
08 Feb 2011
For the operational use of ADS-B Out (covering ADS-B NRA, RAD and APT), the European Commission Single European Sky Surveillance Performance and Interoperability Implementing Rule (SPI IR) applies.
Standardisation and Certification
08 Feb 2011
The ADS-B standardisation work was driven by the Requirements Focus Group (RFG), with principal membership from EUROCONTROL, FAA, EUROCAE, RTCA and participation from Australia, Canada and Japan.
Supporting Safety Assessments
08 Feb 2011
CASCADE safety work encompasses a wide range of activities, from international standardisation to support to local implementation.
