E N D
Implementation of ADS-B in Australia ASAS-TN Workshop Malmo, October 2003 Bob Peake Manager Technology Development Airservices Australia
Package 1 is an initial set of ADS-B applications Agreed between US and Europe Consistent with “ADS-B Concept of Use” developed by the ICAO Oplink panel Accepted by ICAO at ANC 11 Package 1 consists of Five ground surveillance applications, and Seven airborne surveillance applications ADS-B “Package 1”
ADS-B Package 1 – Ground Surveillance Applications • ATC surveillance for en-route airspace • ATC surveillance in terminal areas • ATC surveillance in non radar areas • Airport surface surveillance • Aircraft derived data for ground tools
ADS-B Package 1 – Airborne Surveillance Applications • Enhanced traffic situational awareness on the airport surface • Enhanced traffic situational awareness during flight operations • Enhanced visual acquisition for see and avoid • Enhanced successive visual approaches • Enhanced sequencing and merging operations • In trail procedure in oceanic airspace • Enhanced crossing and passing operations
Why is Australia interested in ADS-B for ATC surveillance in non radar areas?

The Australian Operational Trial of ADS-B for ATC Ground Surveillance
Burnett Basin ADS-B Trial ADS-B trials are underway in Queensland’s Burnett Basin …paving the way for national implementation.
Australian ADS-B Operational Trial – Burnett Basin BURNETT BASIN Traffic environment • Less than 20 aircraft account for a high % of local flights • RPT : Bundaberg, Maryborough, Hervey Bay & overflight to Gladstone & Rockhampton • Charters off the coast, RFDS, parachuting and other GA Aircraft types • Dash 8, Beech 200,General aviation, Energex Rescue Helicopter Limited Radar (SSR) coverage • above FL120 only BRISBANE SYDNEY
Australian ADS-B Operational Trial - Ojectives • Deploy an operational “pilot” or trial system • Avionics • Ground station • ATC processing & display system (TAAATS) software changes • Develop procedures & commission for air traffic control • to provide customer/ATC benefit • to learn lessons from real operational use • Report on possible wide-scale deployment • Examine minimum cost GA solutions & strategies • Prepare Cost/Benefit for wide scale deployment • Make the Australian Aviation community aware of ADS-B

Australian ADS-B Operational Trial – Ground Station • Duplicated Receive Only Ground stations • ADS-B receivers • Antennas (DME type) • UPSs • Duplicated Tracking Processors • located at the control centre • ASTERIX format ADS-B tracks out • Maintenance support • Spares • LRU exchange • Training, etc
. .. Integration of ADS-B on Operational ATC Displays • Receives ASTERIX format ADS-B tracks • Tracks linked to FDP by 24 bit code (CODE/) • Extension to TAAATS display priority scheme • Includes Safety Net alerts (MSAW etc) • Updates to training simulators • Updates to recording and analysis tools Radar Tracks ADS–B Tracks NEW SYMBOL ADS- C Tracks Flight Plan Tracks
ADS-B Benefits ATC safety alerting functions will be provided Altitude Conformance Warning Route Conformance Warning Conflict Alert Low Altitude Alert
Safety Case issues for ADS-B Trial • Operating Concepts and Procedures • TAAATS already has operating concepts and procedures for Radar, ADS-C and Flight Plan Tracks on the one display • Adding ADS-B as another category of data did not alter op. concept • ADS-B being validated as equal to or better than radar • Radar procedures and sep standards (5nm) then used with minimal changes for ADS-B • 24 bit code in Flight Plan used for track to plan correlation • ADS-B data not fused with radar for this implementation • Avoids need to revalidate a fused tracking system • Quality of ADS-B data • HPL in Navigator -> NUC in Extended Squitter -> FOM in ASTERIX • Data suppressed from display if FOM poor • Site monitor transponder reports FOM from the site • RAIM prediction service alerts controllers of possible periods of inadequate satellite coverage – managed like a scheduled radar outage

ADS-B Separation Standards • FAA has approved 5nm in Alaska • based on comparison with radar • Airservices working with Regulator • using the same approach • plan 5 nm, and radar procedures for the operational trial • ICAO SASP well advanced on ADS-B • ICAO ADS-B separation standards expected available end 2004
Australian ADS-B Upper Airspace Project • Continent wide surveillance above FL300 • ADS-B surveillance for ATC in non radar airspace • Requires 20 – 25 ADS-B receiver sites • Co-locate with existing VHF sites • Status of project • Project approved • Tenders called • Contracts expected Q1 2004 • Schedule • Complete by end 2005 • Follows European mandate for Enhanced Surveillance (Aircraft get ADS-B as part of the Enhanced Surveillance upgrade)
ADS-B Upper Airspace Program Approximately 20 ADS-B ground stations will be deployed in remote regions of Australia by the end of 2005 …expanding high level air traffic surveillance capability to over 97% of the Australian continent. Existing Radar Coverage Radar + ADS-B Coverage
ADS-B Benefits ADS-B will enhance safety and increase operational flexibility for suitably equipped aircraft. • ATC safety alerting will be provided • route and altitude monitoring • short term conflict detection • Radar-like separation standards will apply • Opens the possibility for “enhanced see and avoid” operating concepts • More details : ANC11/WP127, ICAO website
ADS-B AvionicsExpected Aircraft Fitment in Australia Airspace
Future ADS-B Avionics Fitment • SSR Mode S Enhanced Surveillance • Mandatory in parts of Europe from March 2005 • Requires upgrades to SSR transponders • Manufacturers have decided to include ADS-B extended squitter in the same transponder upgrade • Australian & Asian airlines will be upgrading their aircraft that fly to Europe • Result will be many ADS-B equipped aircraft over Australia • New aircraft now being delivered with ADS-B • QANTAS A330, Air New Zealand A320 etc. • UPS Freight aircraft also being upgraded • Entire fleet of 103 B757 and B767 by end of 2003 • These aircraft already being tracked on ADS-B in Australia
Benefits from ADS-B in Upper Airspace • Provides ATC surveillance where there is none today • Using existing VHF sites & communication networks keeps costs low • Provides significant safety benefits immediately • Enables increased airline operating flexibility • Airlines get added value from transponder investments for European Enhanced Surveillance • Don’t need to wait for GA fitment • Don’t need to wait for more advanced aspects (CDTI) • Strategic push towards widescale deployment in Asia Pacific • Asia Pacific expected to lead the way for ground surveillance • USA/Europe already have adequate radar based ground surveillance, and do not need this ADS-B application
ICAO Asia Pacific Regional Planning for ADS-B • APANPIRG ADS-B Task force • Australia, China, Hong Kong, Fiji, India, Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, USA + IATA, SITA, IFALPA • APANPIRG Resolutions • Mode S extended squitter to be used for ATC ground surveillance application in AsiaPac • Jan 2006 set as the target date for introduction of ground based surveillance services based on ADS-B • More details : ANC11/WP128 from ICAO website
