Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 Levels 0 & 1 Industry commits to deployment

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 Deploy ATSAW and Manual S&M (1090 ADS-B) R&D Asses benefits of Manual S&M for different categories of TMAs in the ECAC Area Analyse the impact on runway throughput of relative Time Based Separation (ASPA-S&M) vs. Absolute Time Based Separation (RTA) Analyse and compare the use of single or multiple merging points for sequencing arrivals to the airport Assess benefits of ASEP-ITP over ATSA-ITP Study how UAV Operations may be integrated with other managed air traffic in an ASAS Separation environment R&D Implementation Available for Operations Time (Calendar Years) ATSAW in flight and on the surface ATSA-ITP and ATSA-VSA Manual ASAS S&M

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 ATSAW and Manual S&M Equipment is available and is being deployed ATSAW is being deployed to bring clear safety benefits on the airport surface ASPA-S&M is proving beneficial in pioneer projects (e.g. UPS) The key points are –What opportunities are there in Europe and do TMAs need re-organisation? –RTA techniques and ASAS still seem to be competing, can we identify clear benefits of integrating the two techniques? –Will ATSA-ITP evolve to ASEP-ITP? –Will UAVs accelerate development of ASEP?

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 Levels 2 & 3 SESAR Joint Undertaking R&D

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 Capability Level 2 & 3 – Deploy ASPA and initial ASEP R&D Assess the ASPA-S&M application for expected benefits versus absolute time based separation methods such as 2D Precision Trajectory Operations. Evaluate the ASPA-S&M and ASEP-ITP applications in mixed mode of operations. Analyse compatible algorithms for ground based tools and airborne separation applications extended squitter R&D Implementation Available for Operations Time (Calendar Years) ASPA-S&M R&D Implementation Available for Operations ASEP-ITP Review/Update 1090 standards to support ASAS spacing & initial separation

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 ASPA-S&M Additional issues to be addressed in the R&D: Use of datalink for ASPA-S&M instructions –The procedures could be potentially simplified by the use of the datalink capabilities which SESAR will bring –Use of datalink will bring safety by reducing risk of confusion concerning target and/or spacing requirements Use of an ASPA application in the event that final approach spacing is very close to radar separation minima –As we deploy means of reducing runway occupancy, final approach spacing will become closer, which on the one hand could be achieved very precisely with ASPA but will create problems if the spacing is close to or less than radar separation –This means that the “upgrading” of this application to an ASEP application must be seriously considered Applicability of ASPA-S&M techniques in conjunction with the “curved path segments” now being deployed in RNP procedures which may affect merging and spacing algorithms

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 Levels 4 & 5 SESAR JU R&D NOW Technology choices need confirmation

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 Capability Levels 4 & 5 – ASEP and SSEP R&D Develop and validate the operating concept for the ASEP-C&P and Self Separation applications in mixed mode of operations. In particular, evaluate the impact of RNP/RCP/RSP on the separation minima (strategic or tactical). Compare alternative means of separation management like airborne self management; cooperative self-separation for business jets in low density high altitude airspace (e.g. above FL410) should be started as early as possible to validate the self-separation concept. Investigate potential Human Factor impact of the mixed mode operation on both pilots and controllers.

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 ASEP and SSEP Success of ASEP-ITP will expedite implementation of ASEP and SSEP applications thanks to early aircraft equipage and certification SESAR has emphasised ASEP “Crossing & Passing” whilst there are several other variations on the ASEP-C&P theme including overtaking and vertical transitions as identified by AP23 –The research must not be limited just to lateral crossing but must include all the other potential traffic configurations As with ASPA the safety and simplicity of ASEP applications may well be enhanced by the use of datalink to minimise confusion of misunderstanding –in particular when multiple targets are included in a situation ASEP may be useful for closely spaced parallel runway operations exploiting the possibility of the flight crew assuring separation between themselves and other aircraft on a closely spaced parallel approach removing the need for ground based monitoring

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 Risks and other issues

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 Risks: Failure to deliver the 2020 ATM Target Concept Need YOU Commitment, Alignment, Drive

Final Seminar, Paris, April 2008 Conclusions SESAR provides a great boost for ASAS applications by prescribing an environment which lends itself to many ASAS applications The SESAR technical developments in terms of ADS and datalink both bring significant opportunities to accelerate the safe implementation of ASAS applications Under SESAR, we need to ensure that communication and dissemination of ASAS progress is maintained Overall: We’ve come a long way in SESAR The Definition Phase has now finished ASAS is successfully there …but now is just the beginning!
