FCI Technology Assessment Step 2 Process Jacky Pouzet, Nikos Fistas, Phil Platt AGCFG3/WGC11 18-19 September 2006, Brussels European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
Content • Goals of the technology assessment • Results of Step 1 • Step 2 process • Next steps • FAA/NASA/EUROCONTROL co-ordinated process
Goal of the Technology Assessment • Aim is to propose technology(ies) that meet the requirements for a Future Radio System by the end of March 07. • Based on requirements i.e. COCR v1.0 • To achieve this requires defining a common operational environment that candidate technologies can be evaluated against. This will include – • Definition of the common traffic scenarios – previous presentation • Other issues that must be considered in ‘evaluating’ technologies • In Europe the Technology Assessment is being carried out in a two-step process • Step 1 complete • Step 2 underway
Step 1: Methodology Results of previous assessments QQ MCNA ITT EC FILTER Focus on Long Term List of Promising Technologies New developments Capacity + QoS Step 1 Step 2 Step 2 Process List of Considered Technologies
Step 1: List of Promising Technologies DRAFT Red text = not analysed in Step 1

Step 2: Overview of Technology Assessment process Common template to describe candidate technologies Step 1 Set of traffic scenarios - based on COCR Spectrum considerations - compatibility with existing users in proposed bands - bandwidth Capacity and Performance - theoretical - simulations - measured Interaction with SESAR -D2, D3 Recommendation for FCI technologies • meeting requirements • -meeting deployment • timescale Aircraft Integration Other aspects for consideration
Step 2 technology description • All candidate technologies should be defined in a common format including • Concept of Operation • Proposed band of operation • Spectrum issues/constraints • Proposed architecture • Measures to assure Quality of Service • Aircraft integration
Others elements of the assessment • Standardisation • Transition • Certification • Redundancy • Capabilities (addressed, broadcast, ..) • Security • TRL (general TRL – not specific for ATM implementation) • Spectrum Efficiency (data throughput vs bandwidth) • Network Efficiency (frequency re-use, small cell size etc) • Preliminary cost information
Overview of Step 2 Assessment Performance Assurance Simulations Calculations List of Technologies Recommendations Traffic Scenarios Assessment for the FCI Non-performance related aspects Type of communication supported Spectrum compatibility Aircraft integration TRL Transition Scalability Interoperability
Step 2 working arrangements • Co-operation with FAA/NASA and other European partners to obtain a common set of information • Engage with experts involved in technology development • detailed information on design choices and to obtain simulation results • Where no project is considering a potential candidate technology then best-efforts will be made to support the assessment
Ranking of technologies • Class 1 – Proven, viable, standardised technology, available for operational use. • Class 2 - Technology has potential to meet requirements. Standardisation process in progress, successfully demonstrated using prototypes, implementation and transition arrangements feasibly. • Class 3 - ‘Has potential – needs further development’ • Class 4 - ‘Planned/conceptual – no evidence/detail of performance, cost etc’ DRAFT
Ranking process • Ranking will be undertaken using a ‘mask’ against a pre-defined assessment level (being finalised) DRAFT
Next Steps • Complete definition of the common evaluation method • Describe technologies and identify performance in a common way • Compare technologies using an agreed methodology • Provide recommendations on the FCI technology (-ies) • Timeframe: to complete Step 2 by mid 2007
