Applications in two main categories

• AIR-GROUND SURVEILLANCE

• AIR-AIR SURVEILLANCE
– ADS-B is the ONLY technology offering AIR-AIR
capability
4ACAS is purely a safety net

 Benefits of Surveillance
• Safety
– ATC situational awareness
– ATC safety nets
– SAR
– FIR boundary safety

• Operational flexibility benefit

– Higher air traffic throughput
– Higher Probability of clearance requests
– Optimum route/ level
– Strategic enabler for User preferred route
– Efficiency – smaller separation standards

• Operational control/ fleet management

ADS-B Benefits
Radar-like separation standards will apply

Procedural separation

ADS-B Benefits
Radar-like separation standards will apply

ADS-B equipped aircraft will be subject to reduced separation

standards, allowing more aircraft to operate at optimum levels.

 ATM Discontinuities
• Every FIR boundary represents a
– Discontinuity
– Different database
– Risk, errors, different views of “true” situation

• Surveillance provides
– Feedback (closes the loop)
4 Rather than 30 minute position & level reports
– Detects errors/ blunders
4 ATC, pilot, other ATC
4 Minimises the IMPACT of errors

• ADS-B provides inexpensive means to share data

– For co-operative aircraft
– No threat to military 10
