The increase in air traffic volume in Poland necessitates the continuous modernization of navigation, communication, and surveillance systems. It is worth noting that beyond infrastructure development, new technologies are being implemented in each of these fields, namely: in communication – data links, in navigation – GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), and in surveillance – Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS). At the same time, the implementation of pan-European air traffic management programs is being considered, including the implementing programs for the Single European Sky (SES) – e.g. SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research). The aim of the article is to present an analysis of the scope of use of the automatic surveillance system in a selected area in Poland. A sample of own measurements was used to achieve this goal. This analysis is intended to serve as a premise for considerations regarding the use of such a system as support for air traffic control services in surveillance. The concept could be an alternative to traditional radar surveillance. The literature on the subject and available EUROCONTROL publications were used to prepare the paper.
The analysis of use of automatic dependent surveillance in en – route traffic in Poland
Abstract
The increase of air traffic volume in Poland forces the continuous modernization of navigation, communication and surveillance systems. It is worth noting that except for infrastructure development – new technologies are implemented in each of these areas, namely: communication – data link, navigation – GNSS (Global NavigationSatellite System), surveillance – automatic dependent surveillance (ADS). At the same time, it is taken into account the implementation of European air traffic management programs, including programs for the Single European Sky (SES) – such as SESAR (SingleEuropeanSky ATM Research). This article presents the analysis of the possible use of automatic surveillance system as a third layer of radar coverage in the north – eastern
Poland. This concept would be an alternative to the use of traditional radar coverage. For the preparation of this paper the literature and publications at EUROCONTROL were used. (…)
