SESAR Requirements on SurveillanceSESAR Requirements on Surveillance
Surveillance is the Feedback Loop for the
ATM Business Trajectory concept!• High accuracy in 4D position measurement and other data
• High reliability and integrity requirement
• High flexibility to adapt to new airspace requirements
• High flexibility to adapt to fleet mix
• Resistivity against EMI (windmills, cell-phones, multipathing, spoofing)
• Low total cost of ownership

TodayToday’’s surveillance challengess surveillance challenges……
• Primary & Secondary Radar• High Cost to Finance and Deploy, Maintain,
Operate• Performance Limitations due to line of sight
(shielding) and huge azimuth errors• Single point of failure with rotating elements• Cone of Silence• Long update intervals limits ATM APP
efficiency
• Do more with less, but never threaten safety…• Need new solutions• Better performance at lower cost

ADSADS--BB Automatic Dependent Surveillance Automatic Dependent Surveillance –– BroadcastBroadcast
• Low cost receivers• Affordable coverage & redundancy• Up to 250 NM range• Existing 1090Mhz standards
• Extremely Accurate• Independent of distance• 1 second update rate
• More Information• Identity of the aircraft• Heading, speed and other data• Input to alert processing
• Two-way infrastructure• Cockpit display > Self separation

Issue 1How do we bridge the equipage gap?
Issue 2How do we validate ADS-B self-reported
position?
“ADS-X”Combination of ADS-B with Multilateration
The use of multilateration as an independent means of surveillance for backup or verification of ADS- B should be further considered. This is specifically to identify credible errors in ADS-B position.

MLAT Compared to RadarMLAT Compared to Radar
• “Where coverage exists a WAM system will generally outperform MSSR for accuracy”• “The hardware costs of a WAM system are (very roughly) around 50 % of those of an SSR system”• “The maintenance cost of WAM systems will be much lower than MSSR as there are no rotating
mechanical parts. A 6 monthly maintenance check at each site to maintain ancillary equipment such as UPS systems may be required; otherwise there is very little to do.”

ConclusionConclusion
• Economics and performance is driving a trend towards next generation surveillance.
• Different needs and perspectives drive different strategies towards ADS-B and multilateration
• Both ADS-B and Wide Area Multilateration are increasingly widely selected, deployed and certified.
• At a time when we have to do more with less, these next generation surveillance techniques should be part of every ANSP’s plans.
