Eric Hoffman

EUROCONTROL

Outline

• Objectives

• Approach

• Draft results

• Feedback

Objectives

• Yearly assessment of ADS-B/ASAS applications progress:– R&D work, validation– Operational standards– Technical standards– Early implementations

• Recommendations

Scope

Assessment performed on Application Clusters:

– ADS-B Surveillance Thales ATM – Situation Awareness Thales Avionics – Runway applications LFV– Spacing ENAV– Separation BAESYSTEMS – Self-Separation NLR

Methodology

• Based on EMERALD approach:– Domains:

• Safety• Operational Concept• …

– Maturity levels • Enhanced to better capture transition to

operations

Functional Requirements/Feasibility Phase

4 - Component feasibility demonstrated ASAS Development for Prototyping Phase

5 - Major component capability demonstrated in a representative environment

6 - Integrated component capability demonstrated in a representative environment

Experimentation and Validation Phase

7 - Principles ground or flight demonstrated / validated modeling capability in a representative environment

8 - Flown or operated in an operational environment and production capability demonstrated

Operational Implementation

Situation Awareness Applications (1/2)

• Scope:– Enhanced traffic situational

awareness during flight operations (ATSA-AIRB)

– Traffic situational awareness on the airport surface (ATSA-SURF)

– In-trail procedure in oceanic airspace (ATSA-ITP)

– Enhanced visual separation on approach (ATSA-VSA)

• Human Factors:– OSED development within

the RFG framework.– simulations with pilots.Level 7

• Operational Concept:– RFGLevel 7

• Benefits Constraints:– Benefits identified for specific

procedures– Limited constraints expectedLevel 5

Situation Awareness Applications (2/2)

• Safety:– One of the key objective– Not too complexLevel 5

• HMI & ASAS Design– One mature design

availableLevel 6

• Transition Issues:– Partial OK, no mandateLevel 6

• Critical Path– Airworthiness– ICAO

• Way Forward– CASCADE Stream 1 &

RFG
