System Built to FAA Requirements

Functional and Performance Requirements

• Essential Services Specification

• Critical Services Specification

Coverage requirements in Service Volume Description

Document

• Defines three service volume types

• En route service volume – Air Route Traffic Control Center coverage up to

FL600 from over the center geographical area

• Terminal service volume – TRACON coverage up to FL250 in a 60 mile

radius around the terminal reference point (typically the terminal area radar

location)

• Surface service volume – Airport surface up to 2000 feet over a 7 mile

radius from airport reference point (typically airport center)

• Identifies the radar systems serving each area. Where radar exists,

the ADS-B coverage is required to be at least as good as existing

radar coverage.

Extending the US System:

Mexico as a Model

• To provide surveillance in the Gulf of Mexico, FAA signed an MOA

with Mexico SENEAM in 2012 for Harris to install 3 ADS-B radio

sites and 3 service delivery points in Mexico; 1090ES Out only

– Harris provides telco to US border, SENEAM to Mexico border

– SENEAM provided space, power, and site prep for RSs and SDPs

– SENEAM paid for import-export taxes, VAT, duties, etc.

– Harris monitors, operates, and maintains; has spares in each site

– No need for Harris to apply for permit, zoning, or purchase insurance

• ADS-B data is routed back to Houston for processing and

dissemination

• Surveillance info is disseminated to ATC centers in the US and

Mexico

• Leveraging Harris service-based contract with FAA

– Harris provides capital investment, owns and operates the equipment

– FAA pays for surveillance service for aircraft separation


Potential ADS-B Coverage at FL300

with ~30 Radio Stations


Summary

Harris has designed, developed and deployed the world’s

largest ADS-B infrastructure that is scalable, safe, and

secure.

Harris’ solution can be cost-effectively operated and

maintained in any regions around the world.

We’re prepared to share our experience with and provide a

regional ADS-B solution that is complimentary to ICAO’s

vision and plans.

ADS-B Safety Case

• FAA has approval for 3-mile separation for Terminal and 5-mile separation

for Enroute airspace when also in radar coverage.

• A comprehensive safety case has been completed for ADS-B only airspace

(i.e. without radar coverage) in the U.S. for 3-mile and 5-mile separation

across the US National Airspace System (NAS).

• For Alaska and Gulf of Mexico, the FAA has 5-mile approved ADS-B

separation in non-radar airspace

– Used to be procedural separation of as much as 10 minutes

• Wide spread operational use of ADS-B separation across the NAS awaits

the ADS-B equipage mandate after 2020, with a best-equipped, best-served

policy. Technologically, ADS-B can support 3-mile separation in the

congested Terminal airspace.

• ICAO circular 326 Assessment of ADS-B and Multilateration Surveillance to

Support Air Traffic Services and Guidelines for Implementation contains the

safety assessment carried out to conclude that ADS-B and MLAT may be

used to provide a three (3) nautical mile separation minimum
