Introduction

• ASAS Thematic Network 2

– Sponsored by European Commission Directorate General Research 6th Framework – Three year project from April 2005 – Aim: to accelerate the application of ASAS

• perations in European Airspace taking into

account global applicability in order to increase airspace capacity and safety. – Managed by consortium: BAE Systems, ENAV, LFV, NLR, Thales ATM & Thales Avionics, EUROCONTROL (leader)

th Workshop, Amsterdam, 23 - 25 April 2007

Objectives

• 5 ASAS workshops & final seminar

– Malmo (Oct 2005), Rome (Apr 2006) – Glasgow (Sep 2006), Amsterdam (Apr 2007), – Toulouse (Sep 2007)

• Web-based ASAS related documentation
• Annual assessment of the maturity of

global ADS-B/ASAS applications by ASAS-TN2 partners – Deliverables: Report ”ASAS application maturity assessment” V1 March 2006, update V2 2007 & V3 due 2008

ADS-B

• Automatic Dependent Surveillance –

Broadcast (ADS-B) Mode S Extended Squitter: – Europe: In Oct 2006, 54% of flights equipped (38% in Jan 2006) of which 66% broadcasting position (53% in Jan 2006) [source: CASCADE] – Hong Kong: In Mar 2006 34% equipped (32% in Dec 2005) [source: ICAO]

ADS-B Receiver ground-station

th Workshop, Amsterdam, 23 - 25 April 2007

Method (1/3)

• 18 ASAS applications:

– ADS-B surveillance – Airborne traffic situational awareness – Airborne spacing – Airborne separation – Airborne self-separation

• 12 ASAS specialists from:

BAE systems (UK), ENAV (Italy), LFV (Sweden), NLR (The Netherlands), Thales ATM (France), Thales Avionics (France) and EUROCONTROL

Method (2/3)

• Maturity metrics scale 0 to 4 (±0.5):

– Operational concepts – Benefits and constraints – Safety assessment – Procedures and human factors – Systems, HMI and technology – Transition issues

• Results reviewed by selected peers from US,

Europe and Australia

Method (3/3) Example metric - Operational concept

1 = Problem statement, identify solutions, concept generation (concept of operations) 2 = Preliminary Operational Concept Description (R&D Operational Service and Environment Description (OSED)) 3 = Draft Requirements Focus Group (RFG) OSED in development (e.g. from R&D OSEDs, trials and experiments, initial OSED) – mature and in review. 4 = Consolidated OSED - Published

Conclusion

• Of 18 applications: 7 have total maturity scores in

range 12-21 out of 24,

• From 2006-7, 15 applications increased in

maturity score (1 new), 2 unchanged, 1 decreased, overall increase 10%

• Version 1 & 2 of report available on ASAS-TN2

website (http://www.asas-tn.org/reports)

• Notification of 17,000 ATM stakeholders through

article in EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre newsletter

• Third assessment by ASAS-TN2 due in 2008
