Overview : Management data ASPASIA: Aeronautical Surveillance & Planning by Advanced Satellite-Implemented Applications Start date: March 2006 Duration: 27 months Finish date: June 2008 Total budget: 4.2 M€ Project funded by the European Commission under Priority 4 (Aeronautics and Space), Directorate-General for Energy and Transport, Directorate F. EC contribution: 2.4 M€ The ASPASIA consortium is composed of 11 partners from six different European countries. Project Coordinator: Atos Origin, SAE 3

Overview : Why ASPASIA? Air Traffic Management relies on the CNS paradigm Communications : AMSS is the current standard, but needs to be updated � Industry initiative: Inmarsat Swift64 (Aero-BGAN) � EUROCONTROL initiative: NexSat � ESA initiative: Satellite Data Link System (SDLS) Navigation : Application of satellites is well-known Surveillance : Look at applicability of these satellite systems to Dependent Surveillance � ASPASIA is an initiative that emerges from the SDLS consortium (Alcatel, Airtel, Indra, Skysoft and Atos Origin) � Show to the aeronautical community all possible applications of satellite systems. Since Navigation and Communication are already covered, ASPASIA focuses on Surveillance 5
Overview : The added value of the Satellite Global coverage � Provides coverage in oceanic and desert airspace � Provides coverage where the deployment of ground infrastructure is too expensive, too complex, or too dangerous � Eases the deployment of standard and homogeneous systems � Optimum efficiency for broadcast and multicast applications Complementary system � Provides additional capacity in high density areas � Full coverage in oceanic air space � May accommodate bandwidth-hungry TIS-B applications, thus freeing bandwidth that can be used, e.g. for air-air ASAS Backup system � All infrastructures (ground and air) are independent from other systems 6
Overview : Project Objectives Investigation of new advanced Satellite Communications technology as complementary ADS-B and TIS-B data link in the provision of surveillance applications Assessment of the benefits of Surveillance application SatCom systems for framework surveillance applications Testbeds Validate SatCom requirements Technological for surveillance applications SatCom issues 7

Methodology: Selection of applications GS applications AS applications Why? ADS-B-NRA ATSAW Satom as complementary Equipment: ADS-B (Out) Equipment: TIS-B data link Mature requirements Broadcast nature More favourable for Satcom use ADS-B-ADD ASPA-S&M Satom as complementary Equipment: ADS-B (Out) Equipment: ADS-B data link Gate to gate: all (Out and In) Less favourable for airspaces En-Route and TMA Satcom use ITP ATSA-ITP Satcom as main data link Equipment: ADS-B (Out) Equipment: ADS-B Enable new applications Satcom enabled (Out and In) Oceanic airspace 9
Methodology: The Satcom platform Purpose of the Satcom platform is to Validate and Demonstrate Surveillance over Satellite � Validation takes place through a software framework developed in line with the last evolutions proposed for NGSS, the ASPASIA Satcom Simulator � Demonstration takes place through a real satellite platform, based on Thales 9780 DVB-RCS system The developed surveillance applications may indistinctively run over either of the two Satcom platforms 10

Scenario 1: ASPA-S& M application Organisation in charge BAE Systems Description The objective is to redistribute tasks related to sequencing (e.g. in-trail following) and merging of traffic between the controllers and the flight crews. The controllers will be provided with a new set of instructions directing, for example, the flight crews to establish and to maintain a given time or distance from a designated aircraft. The flight crews will perform these new tasks using new aircraft functions (e.g. airborne surveillance, display of traffic information, spacing functions with advisories) Satellite considerations Controlled variations in SatCom performance (e.g. availability, latency, update rate) will be introduced to study the effects on the application performance 12

Scenario 2: ADS-B-NRA application Organisation in charge University of Glasgow Description This application enables an ANSP to provide radar-like separation services in non-radar areas, and has no direct impact on the flight crew because ADS-B position reports are transmitted automatically. However, the flight crew may have to accommodate new procedures and rules in the areas of operation of the application, but they will benefit from the improved service from the ANSP. It is likely that the full benefits will only be obtained when all of the aircraft within a given area are suitably equipped. Satellite considerations Since this is the most mature application, it will be used as a reference to analyse the impact on the application requirements when using a satellite data link. It will be used also to validate SatCom system for surveillance applications, and to derive the minimum SatCom system performance parameters. 15

Scenario 3: TIS-B/ATSAW application Organisation in charge University of Glasgow Description Traffic information system broadcast (TIS-B) collects state vector information on aircraft through ground-based surveillance sensors, reformats the information into "ADS-B-like" formats, and broadcasts these reports on the common ADS-B channel. The TIS-B service is intended to provide ADS-B equipped aircraft with a more complete traffic picture in situations where all other nearby aircraft are not equipped with ADS-B. Satellite considerations The broadcast nature of the TIS-B service looks very suitable for the satellite technology. In addition, the use of a satellite data link to provide the TIS-B service would save a large bandwidth in VHF for other ADS-B based applications. 18
