Evolution

• In 1971, in a typical control tower
• 100 movements a day (400 passengers)
• One man operation
• Three frequencies HF, VHF, UHF
• Traffic sheet
• Binoculars, Light gun, Map.
• In 2009, in a busy tower
• 3000 movements a day (250,000 passengers)
• 6 to 8 ATCO operation
• 16 frequencies and data link
• Radar/ADS-B, (ASD, A-SMGCS)
• IDS, (Information Display System)
• Electronic (EFS) or Paper Flight Strips

5
Scope of the automated ATM system

• OCS (Oceanic )
• ASD, EFS, IDS
• Non-surveillance airspace or satellite based
  surveillance
• Procedural control (time based separation)
• 4-D, flight plan based, profile
• Conflict detection and reporting
• Conformance monitoring functions (Route, FL, EST)
• Surveillance (ADS-C, CPDLC)
• VCCS (HFRO), data link

6
Scope of the automated ATM system

• ENR (Enroute)
• ASD, EFS, IDS
• Non or Surveillance based separation
• Mixed surveillance (Radar, ADS-B/MLAT, ADS-C,
  CPDLC)
• Conflict detection and reporting
• Conformance monitoring (Route, FL, EST)
• Safety nets (STCA, MSAW, APW )
• VCCS, data link

7
Scope of the automated ATM system

• Approach or TMA
• ASD, EFS, IDS
• Surveillance based separation (radar standards)
• Mixed surveillance (Radar, ADS-B/MLAT)
• Conflict detection and reporting (-)
• Safety nets (STCA, MSAW, APW, WTC) ()

Scope of the automated ATM system

• Tower
• ASD
• A-SMGCS (ADS-B) Runway Incursion
• Flight strips (EFS)
• VCCS , Data link for PDC
• IDS, (Information Display System)
• Weather (actual Wind and QNH, TAF, SIGMET's)
• Runways in use
• Procedures (Runway change, emergencies etc)

Scope of the automated ATM system

• Common requirements for all sectors
• HD screen, color coded and icons
• Automatic or manual coordination
• Selection of Tools and Maps
• Sectorization on line by supervisor
• Users preference at log-on

14
Conclusion

• We will demonstrate what a modern integrated ATM
  ( FDPS and SDPS/RDPS) system can and must do to
  meet today's ATS requirements
• ATM Analyses and Processes Airspaces
  Surveillance
• ATM Analyses and Processes Aircrafts CNS
  capabilities
• ATM generates a 4-D profile
• ATM generates Conflict Detection and Safety Nets
• ATM generates ASD, EFS

Air Traffic Management Automation

• Automated Flight Data/Surveillance Data
  processing
• Surveillance systems
• Conflict detection
• Coordination

17
Automated FDPS and SDPS/RDPS

• Incorporate latest CNS technologies of airborne
  systems,
• Incorporate all available surveillance sources
  Radar, ADS-B, ADS-C, CPDLC and pilot voice
  position reports (UHF-VHF-HF),
• Processes route and intent information to
  generate internal 4-D profiles
• Process weather data
• Processes and displays Automatic Conflict
  Detection by applying the required separation
  based on Airspace and Aircraft data
• Support automatic and manual exchange of data
• Provides the controllers with adapted system
  displays and tools
• ASD
• EFS auto or manual update

18
Automated FDPS and SDPS/RDPS

• BENIFITS
• Update internal 4-D flight profiles with
  surveillance data and perform conformance
  monitoring.
• Improve safety with automated conflict
  detection-safety nets
• Reduce the potential for errors by eliminating
  manual tasks
• Aircrafts fly preferred routes saving fuel and
  reducing
• CO2 emission
