This paper is focused on trajectory reconstruction techniques for evaluating ATC systems, using real data of recorded opportunity traffic. We analyze different alternatives for this problem, from traditional interpolation approaches based on curve fitting to our proposed schemes based on modeling regular motion patterns with optimal smoothers. The extraction of trajectory features such as motion type (or mode of flight), maneuvers profile, geometric parameters, etc., allows a more accurate computation of the curve and the detailed evaluation of the data processors used in the ATC centre. Different alternatives will be compared with some performance results obtained with simulated and real data sets.

Light weight and compact radars with high resolution capability can be built at millimeter wave frequencies. This has been demonstrated for a long period of time for missile seeker application for military use and as automotive radars in a civilian application. The technological advantages of this type of radar can be adapted to security applications in air traffic management at short and medium range as well as on the ground. The application discussed in this paper, focuses on the derivation of high resolution signatures of flying helicopters for non-cooperative classification schemes.

This paper discusses a way to enhance the functionality of future surveillance system taking into account the advantage of numerous information of onboard sensors and aircraft itself. Combination of this idea with automated dependent surveillance (ADS) is considered. Requirements for such a system are discussed based on weather information, which is necessary for safe and successful flight. Possible structure of the system that consists of ground-based stable network, airborne dynamic network and satellite segment is proposed. Advantages of proposed approach are indicated, and some directions of system development are presented.

A scheme for integration of stand-alone INS and GPS sensors is presented, with data interchange over an external bus. This ensures modularity and sensor interchangeability. Use of a medium-coupled scheme reduces data flow and computation, facilitating use in surface vehicles. Results show that the hybrid navigation system is capable of delivering high positioning accuracy.

Thales is delivering the ground station equipment for the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Surveillance Broadcast Services (SBS) Program which is part of the FAA Next Generation Air Traffic System (NGATS or NextGen). Demanded by the constraints and requirements laid out in the FAA essential and critical services specification, this new generation of automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) ground station equipment provides significantly higher performance and flexibility than its already successful predecessor AS680. This paper presents background, function, and performance of the new equipment generation.

The paper outlines the status and plans for the implementation of automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) in Europe. It presents the progress achieved in areas such as standardisation, validation (including the so-called CRISTAL trials in partnership with air navigation service providers, the pioneer airline scheme, the monitoring of ADS-B performance), certification, implementation planning and operations. Europe progresses fast towards ADS-B implementation. ADS-B operations will first happen at local sites from 2009 and will be followed by a more widespread implementation from around 2015 onwards, based on a European Commission Implementing Rule. The results from ADS-B performance analysis so far are very positive.

The subspace-based technique is used for the estimation of the time of arrival and Doppler shift of a signal of the known waveform. The tool to find required subspaces is a special orthogonal decomposition of received data. It allows concentrate Fisher information about desired parameter in a small number of the first terms of the decomposition. This approach offers a low-dimensional vector of sufficient statistics. It leads to computationally efficient Bayes estimation. Besides, it results in expanding of the SNR range for effective ML-estimating. At last, we can obtain independent time arrival and Doppler shift estimations on the base generalized eigenvectors of the matrix pair.

Traditional millimeter wave Surface Movement Radar (SMR) have been designed and tested. A novel concept for the design of a new SMR is suggested based upon Synthetic Aperture Antenna and Noise Radar Technology. It enables designing of SMR without mechanical rotation of an antenna, but applying several nonmoving Synthetic Aperture Antennas instead. Application of Noise Radar Technology is also considered in more detail to improve the expected performance of a new SMR.

This paper discusses the research being conducted in Italy by ENAV CNS/ATM Experimental Centre to verify the potential benefits deriving from the use of ADS-B technology in Caraffa di Catanzaro and Alghero scenarios. This objective has to be achieved through technical and pre-operational validation activities. The first one is on-going, and some initial observations with regard to validation objectives are also presented together with the parameters and acceptance criteria used. Preliminary results are introduced and analyzed. The pre-operational validation is planned to start in autumn 2008; approach, objectives and expected results are also reported.
