PRESENT USE AND PERSPECTIVE FOR CIVIL PRIMARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR IN EUROPE Eurocontrol, C. Pelmoine, Spectrum Management Domain
GROUND BASED CIVIL PRIMARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR • L-band (1215-1350 MHz): predominantly for En-route but also for approach coverage • S-band (2700-3100 MHz): predominantly for approach but also for en-route coverage • X and Ku bands: for airport surface movement control
PRESENT USAGE: L Band example • More than 60 stations in ECAC was estimated from information available in Eurocontrol. Predominantly en route (2/3rd) and approach surveillance (1/3rd) • Band shared with RNSS (L2 at 1217- 1238 MHz), other radars such as defence or weather radar and space research • Also radio amateurs (secondary status) • Interference cases from Amateur television was reported in UK and FR. Dots or line on the radar screen in the direction of the TV transmitter
PRESENT USAGE:S Band example • More than 100 stations in ECAC was estimated from information available in Eurocontrol. Predominantly approach (4/5th) and en route (1/5th) surveillance • Band shared with many non ATC radars such as maritime, defence or weather radar • Also regional aeronautical telemetry on a non interference basis
EUROCONTROL STANDARD FOR SURVEILLANCE • Adopted by Eurocontrol Permanent Commission in Jan 97 • En route: SSR double coverage • Major TMA: SSR double coverage, PSR single coverage • PSR availability: duplicated electronics with automatic failure detection and switch-over within 2 seconds • PSR Probability of target position detection (for a given aircraft within 1 scan): > 90 % • PSR average number of false target reports within 1 scan: < 20 • But • Minimal Common denominator for ECAC states • NATIONAL POLICY ARE GOING BEYOND THESE MNIMUM REQUIREMENTS • 11 Sept 01 event : additional security requirement
FUTURE USAGE UPTO 2020 FOR ECAC PRIMARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR • Continued use to provide detection of all aircraft, equipped or not with a transponder • Air traffic growth will generate new requirements for primary radar at many airports (for example eastern European countries) • For defence purpose there is a requirement for primary radars coverage all over the territory. The NATO/EUROCONTROL ATM Security Coordination (NEASCOG) group investigate new security requirement such as a better exchange of information between civil and military organisations, i.e. military primary radar plots, flight plans,...
