  1. Alternative Positioning, Navigation, and Timing InitiativeGround Rules Mitch Narins Chief Systems Engineer FAA Navigation Services Stanford University, California August 2010

  2. Purpose of the APNT Public Meeting(per the public announcement) • To share the current FAA perspective on future APNT requirements; and • To solicit input from the community on the perceived requirements and potential APNT solutions that support transition to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).

  3. The APNT Public Meeting… • Is notan offer to contract now or in the future; • Does notimply or ensure that any future contract(s) will result; • Each public participant is attending voluntarily and at their own expense. The Government will not reimburse any expenses or pay for any information provided in the public or private sessions; • All information presented in the public session is considered to be in the public domain. All proprietary information provided in the private sessions and marked as such will be protected; and • No “For Official Use Only” or classified information will be discussed in either the public or private sessions.

  4. Why APNT • The Federal Aviation Administration, in compliance with national policy, needs to maintain aviation operations indefinitely in the event of a Global Positioning System (GPS) interference event or outage • Maintain safety and security • Minimize economic impact • Waiting for the source of the interference to be located and turned off is not an acceptable alternative.

  7. Transforming the NAS to NextGen • The transformation of the National Airspace System to the Next Generation Air Transportation System drives new requirements and increased reliance on PNT services. • The NAS-SR-1000 will need to incorporate these new requirements to support NextGen operational initiatives • APNT needs to address these requirements.

  11. APNT Research and Development Goals • Provide a Cost Effective Alternative PNT service that: • Ensures continuity of operations in NextGen: • Performance Based Navigation (PBN) – RNAV/RNP • Dependent Surveillance Operations (ADS-B Out and In) • Trajectory- Based Operations (TBO) • Four Dimensional Trajectories (4DT) • Supports all users (GA, Business, Regional, Air Carrier, Military) • Minimizes Impact on User Avionics Equipage by • Leveraging existing or planned equipage as much as possible • Supporting backward compatibility for legacy users • Minimizing need for multiple avionics updates for users • Providing long lead transition time (circa 2020 transition) • Avoids Recapitalization Costs for VORs ~$1.0B • Potentially Disestablish all VORs and NDBs by 2025

  13. APNT Assumptions 1/3 • In 2025, there will be “RNAV everywhere and RNP where beneficial.” • ADS-B Out will be mandated by 2020 anywhere a transponder is required today. • APNT horizontal coverage will consist of the geographic area of the conterminous 48 states. • APNT vertical coverage includes FL 600 down to 5,000 feet AGL, and sufficient terminal area coverage to support RNP 0.3 approaches wherever required for safety or economically justified. • APNT will provide RNAV or RNP 2 en route, between RNAV or RNP 1.0 to 0.3 for terminal Class B and C airspace, LNAV or RNP 0.3 for approaches, and RNAV or RNP 1 for missed approach, where economically beneficial or required for safety

  15. Zone 1, 2, and 3 Geographic Areas

  16. APNT Assumptions 2/3 • APNT will be the means to continue RNAV and RNP operations to a safe landing during periods when it is discovered that GNSS services are unavailable, due to interference. • At least one Instrument Landing System (ILS) will be retained at airports wherever required for safety or economically justified. • APNT will ensure backward compatibility for existing DME and DME/DME users. Based on current plans, DME will provide RNP 2 above FL 180 and RNP 1 at all OEP airports. • Users equipped for APNT will be able to continue conducting RNAV and RNP operations (dispatch, departure, cruise, arrival) during the GNSS outage after the transition to APNT

  17. APNT Assumptions 3/3 • Users who do not equip may not be able to continue RNAV and RNP operations (dispatch, departure, cruise, arrival) in areas where GNSS is required during the GNSS outage. • APNT service performance may not be equivalent to GPS performance (coverage, accuracy, integrity, availability, continuity), but it will support position reporting for conformance monitoring for security and provide backup timing services for CNS and other aviation applications. • APNT services will provide alternative positioning to support a minimum of 3nm separation in terminal area operations for dependent surveillance, wherever required for safety or economically justified.
