1 Future Communications Infrastructure: An update on ECTL activities Nikos Fistas EUROCONTROL / CND Iris Phase 1 Final Presentation Meeting ESA/ESTEC February 6 th, 2009

2 Content History Current ECTL FCI activities International Perspective European Context: SJU activities What s next

3 What has already happened?

4 Key events 11 th ANConf EUROCONTROL/FAA AP17 Activities ICAO ACP SESAR Definition Phase

5 A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N AP17 in a slide FAA/NASA and EUROCONTROL Response to AN-Conf/11 outcome Contributions from France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, UK and ESA International Coordination and Communication (ACP, Conferences) 6 Technical Tasks Improvements to current systems Concept and Requirements Technology Evaluations Communication Roadmap Integration Aspects Spectrum Aspects 3 Business Tasks International Perspective Industry Participation Business Aspects Supporting SESAR and NextGEN Recommendations and Actions

6 AP17 Activities Unites States Phase III Define Evaluation Criteria Phase II Assess Technologies Most Promising Candidates Technology Analysis, Modeling, Test Technology Evaluation Candidate Technologies Phase I/ Pre- Screening COCR v1 Coordinated Activities COCR v2 Highly Similar Develop Harmonized Technology Recommendations Define Evaluation Criteria Assess Technologies Technology Shortlist Technology Evaluation Step 1 Step 2 Europe

7 AP17 General Observations The future system must support ATS and AOC end-to-end communications including air/ground and air/air Emphasis first in data communications digital voice in a next step No single technology meets all requirements across all operational flight domains The future system will be a system of systems integrating existing communication systems (voice, VDL) as well as new communications systems to meet the operational requirements No COTS technologies have been identified that can be adopted as new components of the future system without some modification

8 AP17 - Data Link Recommendations 3 New Components: Data link Airport surface: C band General terrestrial: L Band Satellite: Oceanic + Continental

9 FCI activities in ECTL

10 AP17 - Data Link Recommendations 3 New Components: Data link Airport surface: C band General terrestrial: L Band Satellite: Oceanic + Continental

11 Airport Surface Communications System

12 Airport Surface System Activities Study - identification of potential e profiles for aviation Study certification cost estimation (of OFDMA based FCI component) Participation in SJU activities (P and P9.16)

13 LDACS: Continental Communications system

14 Plan for LDACS development activities ECTL SESAR JU WP15? ICAO JU/ECTL LDACS1/2 specifications Development of LDACS1/2 TX prototype Development of LDACS1/2 RX prototype Testing and Evaluation LDACS selection Interference Scenarios, Criteria and Testing Plan / ??

15 LDACS System Activities LDACS1 system specifications LDACS2 system specifications L band systems compatibility criteria and Interference Scenarios Participation in SJU activities (P15.2.4)

16 Satellite Communications System

17 Satellite Communication System Complementary system dual link Short term objectives: Agreement on a global new satellite communication standard Update of AMS(R)S SARPs Close cooperation with ESA support for the Iris project Participation in SJU activities (P15.2.6)

18 International Aspects

19 Cooperation with FAA on FCI matters Proposal to cover 3 key areas of work: 1. Facilitate technical coordination between SESAR and NextGen 2. Joint technical investigations Airport Surface System C band Continental system - L band system Satellite Communications System Integration aspects 3. Joint contributions/submissions to standardisation bodies

20 SJU activities

21 SJU: Key dates CFT: DoW4.0 mid December ANSPs/Industry responses: Mid February 2009 Nominal start of work: Q2? 2009 Detailed definition of activities: ramp up period Effective start: Q3? 2009
