Current surveillance systems, in both aeronautical and maritime domains, are facing difficulties in dealing with non-cooperative objects, such as birds, weather, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), malicious users, etc. Currently these non-cooperative objects are mostly viewed as clutter and, to avoid ambiguity for the human operator and/or subsequent analysis, are removed from the displayed data. However, as the environments that command and control systems operate in become increasingly complex, these objects potentially contain very valuable information that can be used to increase the safety, security, and reliability of the system. In this paper, we present models of current and projected future operations, and identify a series of use cases for the distribution of non-cooperative objects information deprived from enhanced surveillance technologies. Based on the models, use cases and possible operational scenarios, key human factor challenges for the use of this data are identified.

This report describes the analysis of uplinked data received on board specially configured test aircraft as part of the Implementation System Test (IST) program for the Surveillance and Broadcast Services System (SBSS). One of the final phases of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) SBSS test program involves the flight of test aircraft in various regions of the National Airspace System (NAS) as the SBSS infrastructure is deployed. The MITRE Corporation's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (MITRE/CAASD) has developed a recording and analysis toolset (referred to in this paper as the CAASD Analysis Toolset (CAT)) for flight data received on the Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) data link in order to assess the performance of the Traffic Information Service Broadcast (TIS-B), Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS B) Rebroadcast (ADS R), and Flight Information Service Broadcast (FIS B) segments of the SBSS. This paper is based on a sample of flight data obtained during the “IST East” flight test campaign covering most of the eastern United States (U.S.). Specific objectives for the CAT are the following: verifying proper Radio Station (RS) configuration, assessing uplink connectivity for FISB, assessing continuity of uplinked traffic tracks, and verifying FIS-B payload data received on the aircraft matches the copy provided to the FAA's monitor system. Background on the SBSS approach to the uplink services is presented, followed by an explanation of each of some of the analysis outputs generated.

By the year 2025, the number of aircraft operations in the U.S. will significantly increase [1]. In order to address the safety, capacity, and environmental needs that this situation will generate, the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) is transforming the National Airspace System (NAS) by including 21st Century technology [1, 2]. NASA's NextGen Systems Analysis, Integration, and Evaluation (SAIE) project, under the Airspace System Program (ASP), assesses the cost and NAS performance benefits of these technologies. One of these new near-term technologies is Dynamic Weather Rerouting (DWR), which is being developed by NASA. DWR has the capability to provide rerouting information for flights to efficiently avoid severe convective weather situations. The objective of the research documented in this paper was to design and implement a sampling process for the selection of representative days that best reflect the yearly patterns of convective weather impact to the NAS, which will be used for testing the DWR technology.

A new transmission technology, based on IEEE 802.16-2009 (WiMAX), is currently being developed for airport surface communications. A C-band spectrum allocation at 5091-5150 MHz has been created by ITU to carry this application. The proposed technology, known as AeroMACS, will be used to support fixed and mobile ground to ground applications and services. This article proposes and demonstrates that IEEE 802.16j-amendment-based WiMAX is most feasible for AeroMACS applications. This amendment introduces multihop relay as an optional deployment that may be used to provide additional coverage and/ or enhance the capacity of the network. Particular airport surface radio coverage situations for which IEEE 802.16-2009-WiMAX provides resolutions that are inefficient, costly, or excessively power consuming are discussed. In all these cases, it is argued that 16j technology offers a much better alternative. A major concern about deployment of AeroMACS is interference to co-allocated applications such as the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) feeder link. Our initial simulation results suggest that no additional interference to MSS feeder link is caused by deployment of IEEE 802.16j-based AeroMACS.

Beacon codes or squawk codes are a set of limited National Airspace System (NAS) resource. The Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRS) was deployed for civilian use by FAA after World War II. With the increase in demand for codes resulting from the growth in air traffic, the current system of beacon code allocation leads to code reassignments which are inefficient. Also, the current system is vulnerable to code shortages as the traffic grows. This paper describes a new algorithm of beacon code assignment that eliminates the need for “reassignment” and is also more scalable to increasing traffic in the NAS. The method, Space-Time Adjacency (STA) algorithm, assigns unique codes to flights by exploiting the temporal and spatial opportunities in individual flightplans. Five high traffic volume days across different seasons of 2007 were used to test the algorithm performance and robustness. The results show that this method of code assignment required zero reassignments.
