1 Concept of Operations CS#3 European Tracker Service (ETKR) Jean-Marc DUFLOT CS#3 Project Leader 12 th September 2013

2 Context Today, each ANSP is responsible for providing surveillance information to its ATC centre(s) About 70 Tracker systems in Europe Different Tracker technologies Different levels of performance Different sets of sensors As an outcome, the Air Traffic pictures of adjacent centres are not perfectly aligned impact on the separation minima to be applied at inter-centre coordination impact on the overall Network capacity. Centralised Tracker service 2

3 Scope & purpose ETKR will create a unique ECAC wide high quality reference of the actual air traffic situation About NM from West to East and NM from North to South Up to surveillance targets simultaneously, taking into account all IFR/VFR airborne traffic and Airport traffic. Around 500 Radars and 200 Ground Stations for ADS-B and/or WAM. ETKR will provide required subsets of this Air Situation Pictures to any customer of processed surveillance information Sites or clusters of sites En-route, approach Civil and military Controller Display, Flight Plan System, Safety nets, Flow Management Units, etc. ETKR shall ensure twenty four hours per day, seven days a week operations with availability close to 100%. ETKR will provide ancillary services such as Service Quality monitoring function allowing post-analysis Operational Maintenance & Support Service Centralised Tracker service 3

4 Intended Benefits 1/2 Enabling Cost efficiency Tracker infrastructure rationalisation Less Tracker systems in Europe Central competitive procurement Interoperability/commonality : towards natural ATM system design standardisation Reduction of costs for customer systems adaptation Centralised implementation of new technologies (e.g. Multi-static primary radar) in a harmonised way Sensor infrastructure rationalisation Optimum use of sensors ADS-B ground infrastructure deployment at European level instead of national level Centralised Tracker service 4

5 Intended Benefits 2/2 Enabling Network capacity increase Common Air Situation Picture throughout the complete ECAC area complying with high performance standard Compliance with the Surveillance performance and Interoperability Implementing Rule (SPI-IR) Based on what is applicable in the European core area, applied throughout the complete area. Establishment of the same separation minima across the whole Domain of Interest of the Service, thanks to strengthened interoperability between En-Route areas and/or operational sectors Possibility to implement Gate-to-Gate (G2G) surveillance i.e. continuous aircraft surveillance from Airport to Airport, by improved interoperability with local surveillance systems Opportunity for new tools supporting capacity increase Centralised Tracker service 5

6 Service principle The ETKR Service will be provided by data-centres Surveillance sensor data will be provided to the ETKR data-centres By the owners of the ground sensors By alternative commercial providers of surveillance data, if available (mainly ADS-B proprietary networks) Communication Network services will be provided by PENS Latency will be tackled as part of the feasibility phase The Customers will be connected to the ETKR service through a so-called service wrapper Centralised Tracker service 6

9 ETKR Service features Track information service Customer area of interest (Geographical, Specific filters) Customer update rate (Asynchronous, Periodical, Radar synchronised) All messages are using ASTERIX data format Service monitoring and control ETKR Performance monitoring Real-time service and status messages All messages are using ASTERIX data format ETKR Sensor configuration Definition of operational coverage to ensure that applicable performance regulation and user requirements are met Planning and coordination (Maintenance, sensor degradation, etc.) Centralised Tracker service 9

10 Performance, Safety & Security aspects Framework Surveillance performance and Interoperability Implementing Rule (SPI-IR regulation) Air/Ground and Ground/Ground Interoperability Need for system requirements supporting Aircraft separation Need for Safety Analysis Approach Safety and Performance Top-down process for the derivation of ground surveillance requirements to support ATC (GEN-SUR-SPR EUROCONTROL Generic Surveillance Safety and Performance Requirements) Performance requirements (ESASSP - EUROCONTROL Specification for ATM Surveillance System Performance) Security GEN-SUR-SEC (EUROCONTROL Generic Surveillance Security Requirements) Centralised Tracker service 10

11 ETKR Architecture ETKR Data Centres Tracker and Server function Dual dissimilar architecture The same ETKR functionality is delivered by two solutions in parallel, based on a completely independent development, implementation and management Data Centre configuration for contingency purpose Customer sites ETKR Service Wrapper (ESW) to connect to the Data Centres Protocol management and track reception Centralised Tracker service 11

15 Fall-back, Redundancy and Contingency Duplication of all the platforms hosting the various functional Units (e.g. trackers, servers, wrappers) 2 levels of fall-back: Central level 1: Dual Data-Centre switch Central level 2: Dissimilar technology switch No local back-up Detailed ETKR architecture will be determined as part of the feasibility, taking into account amongst others the outcome of the Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA).

19 Concluding remarks ETKR will meet the surveillance requirements of en-route and approach ATC, civil and military ETKR is a service that will meet high level performance, safety and security requirements ETKR will create opportunities for new actors to get access to surveillance information i.e. neighbouring countries and aircraft operators, any SWIM application making use of surveillance track data ETKR will propagate the benefits already achieved in terms of harmonisation with the deployment of commonly developed EUROCONTROL surveillance chain products ETKR will defragment the Surveillance layer and improve cost and performance efficiency of the Network Centralised Tracker service 19
