SUR Sensors From local/regional to global Coverage ADS-Contract Space based ADS-B ~700 Mode A/C/S radars ~1000 ADS-B ground stations Dozens of MLAT systems New types of Non-Cooperative SUR & other unconventional sensors Opportunities and Challenges 4/13
SUR Targets From Commercial Air Transport SUR to -> GA (IFR, VFR) and to -> RPAS 10 to 100 times more targets Major shift in industry (Conventional industries, small COTS manufacturers, but also Google, Amazon, etc.) 10 to 100 times cheaper avionics GA: General Aviation RPAS: Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems 5/13
SUR Users Access to millions of Users (low-cost SUR & smartphones) Openness and Security trade-off Operational vs non-operational use (From ANSPs to everybody ) Security and Privacy protection (co-operation with MIL) Opportunities and Challenges 6/13
Airborne equipage Traffic with mixed SUR equipage is a barrier to infrastructure rationalisation Need to evolve to future proof avionics (Mode S & ADS-B) Number of aircraft by ADS-B Out version number Opportunities and Challenges 7/13
Mandatory or Voluntary SPI IR (1207/2011, 1028/2014 and 2017/386) All aircraft flying IFR/GAT Mode S ELS Aircraft flying IFR/GAT >5700 kg or >250kts TAS ADS-B Out & Mode S EHS Mandate date June 2020 European Commission Single European Sky Performance & Interoperability Implementing Rule (SPI IR) SPI IR amendment (with few changes) expected (by Q1 2018) Mixed equipage of traffic remains an open issue Local Mandates on GA, but for Mode S only Voluntary GA equipage fragmented -> Clear objectives and harmonisation needed ACID IR (EU Reg. 1206/2011) ELS: Elementary EHS: Enhanced ACID: Aircraft ID GA: General Aviation 8/13
