2. The EMERALD RTD Plan and the ASAS Validation Framework R P (Bill) Booth 10 October 2002

3. 3 Objective To compare the EMERALD RTD Plan against the MAEVA Validation Framework to determine the nature of validation exercises necessary to deliver the plan EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

4. 4 What is the EMERALD RTD Plan? EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

5. 5 RTD Plan for ASAS applications Identification of the RTD issues Identification of RTD domains: Operational concepts Benefits & constraints Safety Assessment ASAS operations and human factors ASAS design and airborne functions Transition issues EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

6. 6 RTD Plan for ASAS applications User requirements or concept phase User requirement analysis or feasibility phase Functional requirements or acceptability phase ASAS development or prototyping phase Experimentation or validation phase Implementation phase (not part of the RTD plan) EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

7. 7 User requirements (or concept phase) The concept of Co-operative Air Traffic Control needs to be investigated in more detail There is a need for operational requirements for ASAS applications based on expected benefits (and constraints) EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

8. 8 User requirement analysis (or feasibility phase) Select ASAS applications for European needs Conduct an initial cost/benefit analysis Define operational scenarios Define ASAS requirements for the ADS-B media Define an airborne architecture for ASAS and airborne functions Conduct initial safety studies EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

9. 9 Functional requirements (or acceptability phase) Define operational procedures for the selected ASAS applications Define the new Rules of the Air and the airborne separation minima Conduct a pass/fail, cost/benefit analysis Address the transition issues : suitable rate of equipage, impact upon aircraft operators and ATM organisations EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

10. 10 ASAS development (or prototyping phase) Develop prototypes for ASAS equipment and for the new ground system functions Conduct off-line simulations for the evaluation of ASAS algorithms and compatibility with ACAS Develop real-time mock-ups Draft industry standards Prepare initial training programmes for pilots and controllers EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

11. 11 Experimentation (or validation phase) Conduct real-time simulations involving pilots and controllers Conduct flight trials Measure the potential benefits and constraints through a validation process Re-evaluate the cost/benefit analysis Conduct an in-depth safety study Finalise ICAO standards and industry standards EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

12. 12 How does the RTD Plan Map onto the Validation Activities? EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

13. 13 Validation Activities and the RTD Plan RTD plan issues equate to Validation aims of MAEVA In some cases experiment techniques are specified Cost/benefit (efficiency) issues Architecture and algorithm issues Some examples follow…. EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF

14. 14 Measure potential benefits & constraints through real-time simulations

15. 15 Validate ASAS algorithms through real- time simulations

16. 16 Validate the new share of responsibility between pilots and controllers

17. 17 Conclusions The ASAS VF maps well to the high-level activities defined in the RTD plan. Many issues in the RTD Plan are outside the validation scope. Some issues in the RTD plan need further definition leading to high-level VF objectives Key issue is complete specification of the ASAS applications to be validated EMERALD RTD & the ASAS VF
