Contents • Objectives of ASAS clustering • Background to ASAS clustering • Characteristics and Requirements of ASAS applications • Definition of ASAS Clusters • Clustering Table • Examples of how the Clustering Table can be used ASAS-TN 2, First Workshop, Malmo, 26 to 28 September 2005 Slide 2
Objectives of ASAS Clustering • To group ASAS applications by similar characteristics, for example: – Operational goal – Operational procedures for controllers and flight crew – Requirements on aircraft systems supporting ASAS – Requirements on ATC systems – Who are the decision makers – Who benefits • ASAS clusters will form homogeneous sets of applications which will enable the structuring of development and deployment plans to support ASAS-TN 2 WP 3 (ASAS Application Maturity) • Additionally, Clustering ASAS applications can also provide a useful decision making tool to allow airlines, ANSPs or airports to answer the following questions: – What can I do with …? – What do I need to do if I want to …?

Background • PO-ASAS* defines the following packages of airborne applications: – Package 1: • Airborne Traffic Situational Awareness (ATSA) • Airborne Spacing (ASPA) – Package 2: • Airborne Separation (ASEP) – Package 3: • Airborne Self-separation (SSEP) • Ground surveillance (ADS-B) applications have been included in Package 1 • Runway Incursion Alerting applications have been included in Package 2/3 Airspace users through JAFTI (Joint User Requirements Group [JURG] ADS-B Fast Track Initiative) consider Package 1 applications as the first “building block” which will be the basis for further Packages, enabling high benefits. This position has been endorsed by EUROCONTROL, FAA and ICAO. *Principles of Operation for the Use of Airborne Separation Assurance Systems (PO-ASAS), version 7. 1, FAA / EUROCONTROL, 19 June 2001 ASAS-TN 2, First Workshop, Malmo, 26 to 28 September 2005 Slide 4

What do I need to do if I want to … ? Airline “I am an airline who is often not able to fly the most efficient flight profile in oceanic airspace. What do I need to do to increase flight efficiency and reduce my operating costs? ” ANSP “I am an ANSP who provides the ATC service for a busy hub airport with a dominant carrier. What do I need to do to improve efficiency and increase capacity of my terminal airspace? ” Airport “I am an airport operator who manages an airport frequently affected by fog. What do I need to do to improve safety and efficiency during low visibility conditions? ” ASAS-TN 2, First Workshop, Malmo, 26 to 28 September 2005 Slide 14
