Boeing and Airborne Surveillance
Page 2 Boeing and Airborne Surveillance Some good news………….and some other news.
Page 3 ADS-B-OUT Boeing has included Mode S-based ADS-B transmission capabilities in its wiring and hardware updates for Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance Retrofit service bulletins available DO-260A ADS-B MOPS upgrades will follow when available in vendor implementations
Page 4 ADS-B/CDTI No firm plans for ADS-B-IN and CDTI First hurdle will be the business case Not wholly dependent, but likely to be tied to ARINC 768 Integrated Surveillance System hardware availability.
Page 5 The Business Case – What is Needed? Operators are the building blocks of the manufacturer’s business case So we see the relationship between operational benefits and costs of function provision through a filter The operator’s business case remains shaky at best, even in profitable times Non-traditional approaches need to be worked Assure rapid, efficient implementation
Page 6 Reduce the Risks Understand the effects of the “filter” Research Understand the benefits Understand the costs Understand the relevance in the future ATM system Understand liability – legal and financial Manufacturer and operator The product has to be right –Not just avionics – procedures, ground services, etc. too
Page 7 Reduce the Risks Understand certification criteria Establish airplane certification criteria Establish ground system certification criteria Understand the effects of fleet mix New build and retrofit solutions Understand the human element Acceptance – what will it take?
Page 8 Ensure Global Interoperability At a variety of levels Political/Strategic Operational Functional System
Page 9 Ensure Global Interoperability Political/Strategic Rules of the air ICAO standards Mandates Safety case Similar procedures in similar airspace
Page 10 Ensure Global Interoperability Operational Harmonization of procedure development –Involve regulators and service providers Definition of minimum requirements –The lowest common denominator Consistency in data output –Stable standards Consistent range of applications –Service provider capabilities
Page 11 Ensure Global Interoperability Functional Common frequencies –Mode S….but then what? Common protocols and data –Standards Common algorithms –Predictable responses
Page 12 Ensure Global Interoperability System Consistent performance –Early definition of requirements Pilot interface requirements –Reduce variability from crew performance Controller requirements –Conformance monitoring etc.
Page 13 Conclusions Business case is an imperative Still some work to do on standards
