At the end of the Mode S Transition period for State aircraft (30 Mar 2009) only 49% of the envisaged State aircraft in the ECAC region were equipped.
On request of the State Regulators of the Mode S implementing States to continue the reporting on the progress of the Mode S airborne equipage, the Civil-Military Standing Interface Committee (CMIC/32) decided to support the idea to provide 2 additional annual updates of the Mode S Airborne Equipage Plans i.e. for 2010 & 2011.
The consolidated plans are passed on to the Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States allowing to monitor the Mode S compliance status and to use them in support of the exemption policy for State aircraft as appropriate.

Mode S airborne equipage plans - 2011 |
Up to 31 plans of military aircraft operators have been received from European states, North America and NATO. They show a continued effort to comply with the Mode S requirements.
Almost 6000 military aircraft in ECAC are planned to be equipped with Mode S ELS/EHS compliant transponders.
The graph below shows the expected evolution of the percentage of military aircraft that will be equipped over the coming years (based on the 2011 update).
