Description

The general objective of work package 3 (WP3) is to contribute to the deployment of ADS-B for the purpose of ATC surveillance in EATMN (European Air Traffic Management Network) in alignment with the objectives of the CNS
Roadmap of the ATM Masterplan.

The specific objective of WP3 is to deploy ADS-B in on three air navigation service providers and two airspace users not subject to AUR.SUR.2005 1 (b) or (c) of Annex II of CIR (EU) 2023/1770.

ENAIRE will deploy ADS-B stations in Spain to provide surveillance coverage in areas not covered nowadays and to complement surveillance coverage provided by other sensors, mainly Mode S radar. The rationalisation of the
surveillance network, by means of providing one surveillance layer with Mode S radar technology, and the second layer with ADS-B technology, contributes in a long term perspective to the reduction of deployment and maintenance costs thanks to the due substitution radar sensors by ADS-B stations.
ADS-B systems will be deployed in Zaragoza, the southern part of Madrid Fir and secondary airfields and the ADSB data will be integrated in the SACTA ATM system, in the surveillance data processing chain and automation system
used by ENAIRE.

This is a continuation of the works already performed under CEF Action 2017-EU-TM-0120-M.

The Royal Spanish Aeroclub (RACE) will upgrade general aviation aircraft not covered by the requirements set on CIR 2023/1770, in particular, equipage of 65 aircraft with ADS-B transponders and 100 aircraft with ADS-L solutions
consistent with EASA iConspicuity roadmap.

Akcine Bendrove Oro Navigacija (ORO NAVIGACIJA) will improve surveillance coverage in all Vilnius FIR (Flight Information Region) Airspace, including the lower levels, through optimisation of ground surveillance infrastructure. It
will be realised by implementation of ADS-B infrastructure and ADS-B information consumption by the ATC systems. Kaunas primary radar will be decommissioned by the end of the project at the latest.

Aero Club Rennes Ille-et-Vilaine (ACRIV ) will equip four general aviation aircraft not covered by the requirements set out in CIR 2023/1770 with ADS-B transponders. In particular, to upgrade one GTX 330 aircraft (C172 FGVPT) and
replacing the older Mode S transponders in three aircraft (C172 FGCHM, DR460 FGUXH, CAP10 FGDTJ).
This upgrade will allow the general aviation aircraft to access U-Space through the compliance with SERA 6005 enhancing the situational awareness within uncontrolled airspace.

Ukrainian State Air Traffic Services Enterprise (UKSATSE) will develop studies to prepare Ukraine for an expedited rollout of ADS-B once the geopolitical situation allows it.

All the beneficiaries participating in the implementation of WP3 are committed to carrying out their tasks according to the project plan, providing inputs on technical achievements, timing, financial and administrative requirements. ENAIRE, as WP leader will ensure proper monitoring of WP3 by holding regular meetings with the participants (RACE, ORO, ACRIV and UKSATE). These meetings will focus on coordinating reporting activities, ensuring alignment among participants, identifying issues and jointly applying mitigation actions as well as sharing experiences and best practices.
SDM will also provide expertise and support to the beneficiaries on administrative, financial or technical matters, throughout the duration of the project, and coordinate any request received from CINEA/EC.

The deployment of ADS-B will contribute to the safety and cost-effectiveness by:
- enabling surveillance coverage in remote regions where conventional terrestrial surveillance is technically impossible or economically not justified, thus improving accessibility and setting condition for more efficient use of airspace;
- enabling radar-like surveillance in lieu of conventional surveillance which is more costly to acquire and operate, thus unlocking rationalisation potential and/or improving the robustness of the surveillance infrastructure;
- enabling optimised use of the RF (Radio Frequency) spectrum by alleviating the necessity to actively interrogate airborne transponders;
- providing the technical enabler for surface surveillance applications such as runway incursion prevention, reliant on the high update rate of ADS-B.

The aircraft upgrade with ADS-B will contribute to:
- modernising the surveillance system operated by ANSPs in the Single European Sky (Regulation No 2023/1770);
- increasing compliance to the requirement to be electronically conspicuous to USSPs in U-space airspaces (Regulation No 2021/666);
- the pilot's traffic awareness based on the ""See and Avoid"" principle in other uncontrolled airspaces.
