Session 4: Interoperation

1. Session 4: Interoperation José M. RocaAir/Ground Cooperative ATS ProgrammeEurocontrol www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int

2. 1495 1600 2000 The ASAS Challenge Today How to accelerate the implementation of ASAS? www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 2

3. Presentation Objectives • Raising some key issues in order to support the discussions on users’ expectations and concerns. • Issues to be addressed: • Interoperation, how does it change the environment, delays, standards, military, ATC sectors, single sky. • Objectives: transition aspects, mixed equipage, time scales, interoperability between various types of operation (e.g. military, GA, Airlines) and between ACCs (e.g. single sky). www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 3

4. The Context • Temporal • Package 1: 2007-2012 • Packages 2/3: from 2012 onwards • Operational Enviroment • Oceanic • Continental • En-route • E-TMA, TMA • Airport • ASAS Application • ATSAW • Spacing • Separation • Self-Separation www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 4

5. Conceptual Changes for the Future • Co-operative services to air traffic, managing the flight trajectory: • Strategic organisation of traffic flows and extended levels of automation • Flight management from gate-to-gate • Enhanced flexibility and efficiency • Collaborative decision-making • Responsive capacity management to meet demand • Collaborative airspace management www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 5

6. Issues Related to the Conceptual Changes • An essential element of these changes is • the timely open access to and availability of consistent, validated and up-to-date information about • airspace availability conditions (ATM environment), • flights intentions and their operating conditions • shared by all of those involved in their planning and execution (aircraft operators, en-route ATC, ATFM, airport ATC, and airport operators and other interested authorities). • ASAS impact • ASAS is an essential tool to enhance flexibility and enable efficicency increases. • Can it reduce the quality (i.e. accuracy) of the flight intentions available for the planning? • Will it reduce or improve the ATM network predictability? www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 6

7. Changes Further Ahead • Being defined by the ACARE initiative • Elements of the 2020 targets • One man cockpit • Automated Flight • Automated Air Traffic Control • ASAS Issues • Will the future ASAS target only at preventing collisions? • Or will it also aim towards expediting and maintaining an orderly flow of traffic? www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 7

8. Interoperation with system elements [1] • ASAS and ACAS • at the level of procedures • at the level of systems (datalink and CDTI) • Airspace Users • Business aviation • will benefit of the increased flexibility and efficiency • Military • Can ASAS improve access to military airspace? • Datalink Technologies • Multipe ADS-B links used simultaneouly. • Multiple CPDLC links used simultaneously (ATN, FANS-1/A) • Other datalinks (ACARS, Satellite, HF datalink,…) www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 8

9. Interoperation with system elements [2] • Impact on ATC Tools • Such as: Arrival Manager, Medium Term Conflict Detection • How will the new ASAS clearances be used by these tools? • Airspace Structure • Impact of ASAS on Airspace Design to improve ASAS efficiency • Will ASAS improveDynamic Sectorisation? • Will ASAS have an impact on the Multisector Planner role? • How will ASAS improve the Functional Airspace Blocks in the European Upper FIR • ASAS navigation requirements • precision on the ground to improve airport operations • accuracy and reliability on the air www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 9

10. Interoperation with system elements [3] • Airports • Can ASAS reduce the CFMU “time window” by providing more flexibility and capacity? • Improvements to airport mangement and sequencing using ASAS • How will ASAS contribute to the approaches to optimise runway use • AOC • Can ASAS contribute to the fleet management issues by enabling more sharing of information? • How will ASAS provide AOC with the predictability they need? www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 10

11. Transition • Between airspace types • different ASAS procedures in oceanic and continental • alredy a “problem” for CPDLC • Between ASAS levels • Can ASAS applications of different levels coexist in the same airspace? • And in contiguous airspaces? • Would it be confusing for Pilots? • Mixed equippage • Mandate • Segregated Airspace • TIS-B as a complement? www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 11

12. Other Issues • Environment, how will ASAS • decrease emissions (reducing holdings) • reduce noise (via less speed variations) • reduce the industrial impact • Security • How can ASAS be made less vulnerable than today’s ATC? • Should ADS-B be encrypted? • Should anybody have access to intent data? www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 12

13. Questions? It took one of the greatest minds who ever lived to design it, but it took 500 years to find a man with a brain small enough to actually go and fly it. www.eurocontrol.int/agc - jose.roca@eurocontrol.int - slide 13
