1. Requirement for PSR Primary Surveillance Radar
PSR is normally associated with a Terminal Service
PSR is currently located at 22 sites across Canada
Commencing Aeronautical Study to review requirement for PSR at 5 locations:
Prince George
Regina
Sault Ste Marie
North Bay
Gander
Study will consider application of new technology
Essentially, Primary Surveillance radar detects moving turbines and generates tracks on air traffic controllers displays. The radar processor assigns speeds to them and they display like an aircraft, tracking for a short while and then dropping off the screen.
Over wind farms the result is a clutter like effect that can obscure or entirely block the tracks of aircraft overflying the area.
This effect can occur if the wind farm is located within line of site, generally within 80 kms of the Primary Radar.

2. ADS-B Surveillance Hudson Bay Oceanic Hibernia/Sable Island/Yukon
Operational in 2009
Over 600 aircraft now certified
Oceanic
Six sites on Northeast Coast (End Oct 2010)
Four sites in Greenland (Early 2011)
Hibernia/Sable Island/Yukon
Under assessment

3. North Warning System ADS-B Integration
Eastern portion of Canadian North
Labrador coast and southern Baffin Island
Brevort, Saglek, Cartwright
Implemented at end of October 2010
Immediate benefits in Gander Domestic and Oceanic airspace
Provides surveillance redundancy

4. ADS-B and RADAR 4

5. Multilateration (MLAT)
Fort St John – now commissioned
Vancouver Harbour planned for 1st QTR 2011
ATC application
Montreal (PETIA)
Airport surface surveillance installed
Other potential sites:
Kelowna/Penticton, Timmins, Sioux Lookout, Fredericton, Calgary Springbank, Vancouver Lower Mainland, Wabush, Abitibi West, Mont Tremblant

6. Video Surveillance Project
Purchased controlling interest in Searidge Technologies
Extensive testing of Searidge video technology underway
Runway 4/22 – YOW
Use of video to enhance airport surveillance, subject to stringent ANS requirements

7. Video Surveillance Project

8. Canadian Automated Air Traffic System (CAATS)
Automated flight data processing
CAATS now connects seven Area Control Centres:
Substantial efficiencies: flight data transferred electronically as planes cross the country.
Edmonton FIR Northern Airspace sectors the last to make the transition to CAATS – November

9. Canadian Automated Air Traffic System (CAATS)
New CAATS features under development for near term (one-three years):
Controller Pilot Data Link
Automated Data Communication with external agencies (e.g. FAA, Iceland, etc.)
Display of Airspace to Protect (ATP)
Medium-Term Conflict Detection (MTCD)

10. Integrated Tower Automation Suite (INTAS)
Integrated controller working position with up to four touch-screen monitors
Includes NAV CANADA technology:
Electronic Flight Data Strips
Operational Information Display System
monitors and controls airfield ground lighting,
monitors navigational aids, and weather data;
Digital-Automatic Terminal Information Service (D-ATIS)
Terminal surveillance displays

11. CFPS Collaborative Flight Planning System (CFPS)
Improvement to existing capability (2004)
Better customer service
Two way flow of flight plan information – file, change, delay, cancel)
Simplified registration process
Increased FIC efficiency
Integration with FIMS and CAATS
Centralization of data and services
Phased Implementation
VFR Flight Plans (Feb 2011)
IFR Flight Plans (TBA)

12. International Recognition
