Performance Improvement Motivation • Provide Vertical Guidance • APV-I (LPV) or hopefully CAT-I (LPV200) performance. • Hardware and Software Upgrade • Addition of up to 10 Ground Monitor Stations. • Installation of new algorithm developed by the ENRI. • The current system uses the algorithm same as IOC WAAS. • The algorithm should be improved to adapt to the Japanese ionosphere conditions which are more severe than U.S. and mitigate ionosphere effect.

Future Satellite Systems Decision Making Year MTSAT-1R Operation Single satellite operation term MTSAT-2 Operation 4-year life extension Near-Term Outlook: Current Plan MSAS Commission • EoL of MTSAT-1R is forecasted as the end of 2014. • Expect the extension of EoL of MTSAT-2 for 4 years. • After EoL of MTSAT-1R, MSAS will be operated with 1 GEO. • Both KASC and HASC will operate with MTSAT-2. • Discussion on a successor to MSAS is ongoing: Other GEO project…
Conclusion • MSAS has been operational since Sept. 2007. • An operational SBAS in accordance with ICAO standards. • Stable operation with two GEOs and two MCSs. • Continue to serve with Enroute to NPA performance. • MSAS GEO: • Currently operating with MTSAT-1R/MTSAT-2 GEOs. • End of life of the 2nd GEO is extended, but in 2020. • Currently discussing the plan beyond 2020. • Contact: sakai@enri.go.jp
