6. TIS-B Server Objectives
Support validation of TIS-B services for Package 1 as part of the ADS-B/TIS-B Validation Testbed (AVT)
Provide a prototype TIS-B Server offering the following capabilities
uplink tracks and not radar plots
support both gap filler and full picture uplink services
handle multiple TIS-B link technologies
handle multiple TIS-B Ground Stations and Service Volumes
Each SV is associated with a separate quality of service
be compatible with the services offered by ARTAS
support various ASTERIX standards
Acquire source code and documentation
enabling modifications and experimentation
distributable to ADS Programme Stakeholders
Development to be completed in September 2004

8. ADS-B Validation Testbed (AVT)
AVT is a validation platform for Package I surveillance applications and infrastructure
provides the complete ATC system chain from pilot to controller
allows controller and pilot participation
provides a realistic and controllable surveillance environment to test Package I applications.
handling both live and simulated aircraft
including link error performance simulation
serves also as reference platform for surveillance components and tools
supporting standard surveillance interfaces, particularly ASTERIX
tool for technical investigations on specific surveillance issues
for example tracking performance
AVT is funded by the EUROCONTROL ADS Programme but is also available for use by third parties.
Installations exist at Brétigny and Arlanda, and more are foreseen for 2004
ASAS TN /04/04

9. AVT Phased Implementation
Phase I :Baseline air to ground functionality
Separate ADS-B and SSR tracking
Platform operational: November 2002
Demonstrated in Malmo, Sweden (Jan 03)
Phase II: Support for En-route and TMA ground surveillance applications
Full ADS-B and SSR data fusion
Platform operational: October 2003
Demonstrated in Arlanda, Sweden (Nov 03)
Phase III : AVT for ATSAW and multilateration
Support for Airborne Situational Awareness
Use of wide area multilateration, TIS-B, and ADS-C
Platform operational: End 2004
Phase IV : AVT for full set of Package I applications
Support for Spacing application and airport surface operations
Use of airborne SDPD and airport tracker
Platform operational: End 2005

11. CRISTAL – Co-opeRative ValidatIon of Surveillance Techniques and AppLications of Package I
Validation exercises in partnership with individual ANSPs, industry and other stakeholders, in various ECAC sites
“Crystallisation effect”
Targeting local situations of interest – Driven by the stakeholder operational needs
Wide range of activities (operational, technical, safety, cost-benefit, separation mimima etc.), as appropriate
Evolution to pre-operational level depends on the stakeholder plans and the trial progress
Cover both Stream 1 (Ground Surveillance applications) and also Stream 2 (Airborne Surveillance applications)
