V1.0 Future COM Infrastructure (FCI): SESAR Activities Update Current Status Nikos Fistas Jacky Pouzet The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
Agenda 1) FCI and SESAR activities: The overall context 2) Update on SESAR COM (data link) projects LDACS: SESAR project P15.2.4 Satellite system: SESAR project P15.2.6 AEROMACS: SESAR projects P15.2.7 and P9.16 2
Basic Assumptions Future ATM concept introduces new (demanding in data exchanges) ATM services Data will be the primary mode of future operations (voice only for emergency) Previous analyses demonstrated that no single technology meets all requirements across all operational flight domains REMINDER FCI will be a system of systems integrating existing sub networks (VDL) as well as new sub networks 3
Multilink Concept Legacy systems and New Data Links REMINDER Legacy Systems Airport surface: C band General terrestrial: L Band Satellite: Oceanic + Continental 4

Project P 15.2.4: Future Mobile Data Link System Definition 6
P15.2.4: Project in brief Scope: ❶ General system aspects of future data link systems ❷ L band system definition (LDACS) Schedule: Step 1: Early Tasks (finished in March 2012) Step 2: Follow on activities (expected to start by end of 2012) Current Status: ET complete Discussions on scope of full project activities 7
ET Achievements General FCI Part (initial reports on): Multilink Concept QoS and Classes of Services QoS Management (Architecture issues) DL security requirement and Civil/Military interoperability considerations LDACS part LDACS1 specifications I/F mitigations techniques Criteria and Scenarios for spectrum compatibility investigations LDACS Testing plan LDACS1 prototype partial development 8

P15.2.4 - Planned activities General system aspects of future data link systems Under discussion: Future Operational Concept - Multilink Network Aspects support for QoS FCI Architecture Validation of concepts and proposed standards L band system definition (LDACS) Under discussion: LDACS (1/2) interference investigations 10
Project P15.2.6: Satellite Communication System 11
P15.2.6 Project in brief Future Satellite System Developments SESAR P15.2.6 ESA IRIS Scope: Identification/development of requirements (input to ESA/Iris) Complementary (to Iris) V&V activities Undertake the required standardization activities 12
Current Status ESA/Iris Technology Investigations New SATCOM system (ANTARES) Evolution of INMARSAT SBB (THAUMAS) NEW: Precursor (INMARSAT SSB) system proposal P15.2.6 Development of SATCOM MRD to drive Iris system design NEXUS: Development of proposal updating the AMS(R)S SARPs Coordination of V&V planned activities with ESA 13
Projects P15.2.7 and P9.16: Airport Surface System - AeroMACS 14
P15.2.7/P9.16 Projects in brief Scope: Develop standards for the AeroMACS system Project 15.2.7 covers overall system aspects and ground component Project 9.16 covers airborne component 15
Current Status Support standardisation Work in WMF Forum (AWG), EUROCAE/RTCA (WG82 SC223), ICAO ACP (WGS) Profile, MOPS, MASPS, SARPs, TM (to be confirmed) AEEC work item is the next milestone Investigations for deployment scenarios Development of prototypes for testing Finalisation of of testing and validation plans Consideration of airborne integration/architecture aspects (P9.16) 16
Airborne Integration needs to be addressed and facilitated Opportunity? Software Radios: Synergies with Military? 17
Conclusion The meeting is invited to: Note the latest developments Identify the need to cooperate with the MIL Airborne Integration Software defined radio LDACS for N and S? 18
