In this paper we study some standard problems of SSR (secondary surveillance radar), relating to improving the detection performance of the conventional SSR and Mode S replies in the SSR FRUIT environment. We present the algorithm that consists of a conventional two-dimensional CFAR BI processor combined with the estimator of the FRUIT parameters, which is necessary for automatically selecting of the appropriate scale factor. This robust algorithm guarantees the maintenance of the constant false alarm rate in the FRUIT environment. In the study, we used Monte Carlo simulations for calculating the two detection characteristics - the probability of detection and the probability of false alarm. The results obtained show that the proposed adaptive binary integration (ABI) CFAR processor improves detecting the conventional SSR and mode S replies in the SSR FRUIT environment.

Over last years M3 Systems has been extensively assessing the use of EGNOS to support surface movements at airports. The results obtained have provided confidence on the fact that GNSS is enabling a wide range of innovative services to support vehicle drivers and to improve surveillance. A pre-operational solution has been developed on these bases and is now deployed at Bordeaux airport. The work, initially focused on vehicles has allowed to enlarge the vision and to identify key areas for future research and developments : integrity of positioning using EGNOS, interoperability with ADS-B, innovative navigation and surveillance services to support surface movements, including aircraft.

Two new closed form localization algorithms for multilateration systems are derived and analyzed. The derivation neglects the time difference of arrival in favor of the direct use of the time of arrival (TOA). The algorithms work for arbitrary spatial dimensions and overdetermined systems. A strategy for quick rejection of obviously false time measurements based on coding theory is also proposed.

This paper is focused on the 1090 MHz SSR channel capacity increase by innovative transmission and decoding techniques. A lot of Air traffic control systems use the 1090 MHz channel: SSR downlink (on-board transponders), ADS-B messages, TIS-B, FIS-B. We focus the attention on the MLAT (multilateration) system, useful to localize and identify transponder-equipped targets (aircraft and vehicles). Today multilateration receiver stations have omni-directional antennae, so considering the aircrafts traffic and including the extension of surveillance to cooperating vehicles, the reception of super-imposed signals is more and more probable especially in high traffic density airports. In this paper we show the problem mitigation introducing a technique proposed in the international patent , and the decoding techniques proposed in and. We analyze the channel capacity improvement, then exploit the detection and the TOA estimation of the frequency-shifted and separated signals, and finally the EUROCAE requirements compliance.

Airports Authority of India (AAI) in collaboration with Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has planned to demonstrate Wide Area Differential GPS (WADGPS), over the Indian Flight Information Region for civil aviation application purpose. In GAGAN-TDS (GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation-Technology Demonstration System), with a configuration of eight Reference Stations, one Indian Master Control Station, one Indian Land Uplink station with one GEO stationary satellite, accuracy and availability of GAGAN was demonstrated. GAGAN-TDS is leading to a Fully Operational Phase (FOP) Indian SBAS (Space Based Augmentation System). GAGAN will operationally provide Accuracy, Integrity, Continuity, Availability and level of Service.

Secondary surveillance radar (SSR) based on multilateration principle and omni-directional antennae are operational today [1], [2]. We proposed several new algorithms to separate a mixture of overlapping SSR replies on a M-elements antenna in previous works [3], [4], [5], [6], other solutions were also proposed in the literature [7], [8], [9]. Unfortunately, a rare event, but important, has not yet been resolved: the impinging of more sources than sensors with an approximate similar time of arrival. This preliminary work studies the use of the SSR sources sparsity property, as in [10], [11], [12]. Real recorded signals in a live environment will be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

This paper presents the Eurocontrol surveillance strategy, comprising 3 pillars of surveillance: primary surveillance radar together with co-operative independent systems; i.e. mode S, multilateration and cooperative dependent system; i.e. automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast. The current surveillance standard requires, for en-route and terminal manoeuvring areas, two independent layers of surveillance to satisfy the necessary safety arguments. However, which surveillance options are chosen is left to individual states or service provider choice, based on economic or geographic considerations. The paper also presents the European Commission Implementing Rule for surveillance performance and interoperability.

Ground based emitters can be located with a receiver installed on an airborne platform. This paper discusses techniques based on Doppler frequency and differential phase measurements (interferometry). Measurements of the first technique are provided, while we discuss and compare the theoretical accuracy of both. In addition, we demonstrate the use of simulated annealing for finding flight tracks that lead to the smallest location error.

One of the most stringent requirements to a multilateration (MLAT) system is very high accuracy of target (emitter) localisation. In view of this, the potential accuracy of emitter localisation (PAEL) based on Cramer-Rao inequality is important to use. Its dependence on system geometry and time of arrival (TOA) measurement accuracy allows choosing reasonable system geometry and requirements for TOA measurements. PAEL for MLAT systems and wide area MLAT (WAM) systems with different geometry is considered including systems developed for the Marco Polo airport in Venice, Italy (as an example). The possibility of velocity determination using PAEL for landing and taking off aircrafts is also discussed.
