SUPPORT FOR THE USE OF PRESENTLY UNSERVED AIRSPACE

Objective

The Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air traffic Management concept (see EOLIA) provides cost-effective solutions for improved air traffic services. Relatively cheap and accessible, it has the capacity to ensure high safety levels in currently unserved airspace, thereby boosting the growth of regional airports to the benefit of their localities. SUPRA is a feasibility study for affordable systems and equipment to extend these high safety levels, already present in commercial aviation, to the whole aviation community. It develops the cellular concept through the interchange of navigational and surveillance data, enabling all users to benefit from new low-cost CNS/ATM technologies.

To meet the demands for improved performance by air traffic services, the ICAO/FANS has developed the CNS/ATM concept, which provides cost-effective solutions in communications, navigation and surveillance. One important consequence of CNS/ATM is the relative low cost and accesibility to assure high levels of safety to presently unserved airspace segments, opening regional airports to flights and introducing economic benefits to all users.

This Project consists of a feasibility study for the development of affordable systems and equipment, to extent the high levels of safety, surveillance and control existing on commercial aviation to the unserved airspace segments and the rest of the aviation community.

It develops the cellular concept through the interchange of navigational/surveillance data by means of a two-ways data link, thus allowing all users, specially General Aviation users, to benefit from the new low cost CNS/ATM technologies.

This feasibility study ends with a simplified demonstrator to probe the benefits and cost effectiveness of the solution.
