Satellite-based Communication, Navigation & Surveillance

WAM/ADS-B Workshop

Objectives

This course provides a technical and operational overview of the technical and operational concepts behind ADS-B and MLAT systems that are deployed and often combined together. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and Multilateration (MLAT) are the two emerging surveillance technologies identified as part of the European Surveillance Strategy and integrated in the work plan of FANS of ICAO. Lecturers will insist on the dual and complementary aspect that deals with Dependent or Not-Dependant qualities of those Sensors. . Otherwise , the tuitions focuses on these two different surveillance techniques , and the benefits that they offer through their complementarities. The Surveillance Performance and Interoperability Implementing Rule, which supports the deployment of ADS-B and MLAT, is also examined. After completing the course , participants will have an understanding of the operational and technical aspects of ADS-B and Multilateration , and an appreciation of their implementation worldwide. The trainees will be able to : • Know and handle the theoretical principles of surveillance in WAM/ADS-B for ATM/CNS context. • Apply the Theory in operational situation. • Get a global vision of the deployment plan of WAM/ADS-B in France and in Europe.

Educational content

Participates

This course is designed for operational , technical and managerial ATM staff interested in the developments in the field of Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast and Multilateration , more especially with a view toward implementation in their own environment . It may also be of interest to ANSP staff involved in current or future ADS-B or Multilateration Deployment . The course is oriented for technical audience with a perception of the current Communication, Navigation and Surveillance domains , and intending to take part in an in-depth analysis of the techniques and strategies in Surveillance/CNS/ATM concept.
