Contents Scope and Approach ADS-B Implementation Roadmap ADS-B Pioneer Airlines First ADS-B Implementation Sites First standard published
CASCADE Scope Ground Surveillance Applications (ADS-B-out) ADS-B Receiver In a non-radar environment In a radar environment On the airport surface Aircraft derived data Airborne Surveillance Applications (ADS-B-in & TIS-B) Situational awareness on the surface Airborne situational awareness Visual separation on approach In Trail Procedure Sequencing and Merging
From validation to implementation Initial ValidationPre-ops ValidationImplementation Aircraft Opportunity Traffic Test aircraft Pioneer airlines Qualified aircraft Certified aircraft Ground systems PrototypesPre-ops verified systems Ops systems Availability of standards
First standard published ADS-B-NRA Safety, Performance & Interoperability Requirements, developed by the RFG EUROCAE ED-126 / RTCA DO-303 Published in December 2006 Basis of the EASA certification material to be published by October 2007
CRISTAL Approach Partnerships with the stakeholders From “pocket” areas to regional ADS-B implementation The “Crystallisation” effect Local CRISTAL projects Pioneer Airlines project
First Implementation Sites LVNL (Netherlands) implements ADS-B & WAM by 2009 in N. Sea LFV Sweden implements by 2008 (Kiruna) 2009 (Ostgota) 6 ANSPs (CRISTAL MED:Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal) validate ADS-B towards implementation decision by th ANSP (Turkey) to join soon DFS to include ADS-B (and WAM) in its SUR Strategy Target date is 2015
ADS-B Pioneer Airlines Currently: 11 airlines 200 aircraft 280,000 flights/year Airworthiness approval for ADS-B NRA by EASA in Target is 20 airlines and more than 300 aircraft by mid-2007
ADS-B in Non-Radar Airspace Convergence to implementation Pioneer Phase Airworthiness Approval Operational Approval Operations Station Installation Safety Case Operations ED-126 DO-303
Cost/Benefits - Example More Capacity – Less Holding – Shorter Routes

The European ADS-B Policy “Deployment based on local operational requirements: choose radar, ADS-B, multilateration or a combination of these techniques ” Step 1: Voluntary implementation in “pocket areas” ADS-B-out ADS-B-NRA ADS-B-RAD ADS-B-in ATSAW (VSA, ITP) Using existing equipment (DO-260 and DO-260A) Step 2: Implementation based on an Implementing Rule Rule being developed - To be published by early 2009 Mandate is a possibility Using upgraded equipment
Conclusions The first ADS-B standard (on NRA) developed by the RFG is now officially published EUROCAE ED-126 / RTCA DO-303 The first implementation sites in Europe are known Netherlands (N. Sea/2009) Sweden (Kiruna/2008 and Ostgota/2009) Implementation decision in 7 Mediterranean countries by DFS has included ADS-B in its Surveillance Strategy (2015) 11 pioneer airlines and more than 200 pioneer a/c Target is 20 airlines and more than 300 aircraft by mid-2007 Implementation Policy in Europe Step 1: Voluntary in “pocket areas” with existing certified equipment Step 2: Implementing Rule (being developed) to be published by early 2009 and requiring upgraded equipment
Addendum ADS-B in Australia June 2006 ADS-B Coverage Stage 2 services applicable 28th June, 2006: concluded Burnett Basin Trial (Stage 1) and commenced Stage 2 Now: Stage 2 ADS-B services include provision of ADS-B based safety net and alerting services identification and altitude verification use of ADS-B position and altitude information in the application of procedural separation standards between ADS-B tracks and all other tracks Also continue to provide ADS-B based 5nm separation services in the area that was previously the ADS-B Trial airspace. Dec 2007: Stage 3 - introduction of full ADS-B 5nm separation services in Upper Airspace across the country once all 28 ground stations are deployed. Additional 20 sites will get ground stations to allow full Upper airspace coverage and complement radars
