13. Where justified by traffic density and/or its
complexity, and taking into account relevant cost
effectiveness aspects, ATS units should be provided with
radar.
14. Detailed considerations relevant to the provision
of primary and secondary surveillance radar for ATS
purposes are contained in Attachment G and K to Part IV
— CNS of the EUR FASID as appropriate.
15. In planning for the provision of radar, States
should take account of existing or planned facilities in
adjacent States in order to achieve a coherent system with
adequate overlap of radar coverage in border areas. For
economic reasons, planning for continuous and coherent
en-route ATS radar services should allow for a maximum of
shared use of radar facilities available in adjacent States.
16. From the initial stages of planning for radar
facilities, due consideration should be given to radar data
processing and display aspects and to possibilities for future
expansion of the use of such facilities, both as regards the
area covered and the degree of sophistication.
17. The radar coverage for en-route ATS purposes
should be such as to permit the provision of radar services on
all major ATS routes in the region, with due regard to the
need to progress towards an “area control” service.
18. Planning for an optimum deployment of radar
facilities for en-route ATS purposes should be based on SSR
with Mode C.
19. Progressive improvements in the treatment of
SSR-derived data for ATS purposes should be planned so
that changes or replacement of existing SSR equipment are
kept to a minimum. Relevant considerations are contained in
Attachment I to Part IV — CNS of the EUR FASID.
20. States whose ACCs are equipped with en-route
radar should:
25. Automatic data processing equipment should
provide the controller with a display of at least the accurate
position of the aircraft in the controller’s area of concern. In
addition, the equipment should be such that in the event of
temporary, partial or complete failure of any of its
components, the controller will be able to revert safely to
other means of operation (“fail-soft” concept). Specific
considerations relevant to the use of automatic data
processing equipment are still under development and will
be contained in an Attachment to Part V.II — ATS of the
EUR FASID. Considerations on computer assisted
coordination processes are contained in Attachment E to Part
a) arrange for a maximum use for flights in the en-route
phase of the prescribed radar separation minima and/or
the reduced procedural longitudinal separation minima
based on radar monitoring;
b) use primary and/or secondary surveillance radar for the
purpose of monitoring air traffic and identifying civil
aircraft in areas where they might otherwise be
intercepted; and
c) implement or update the communications links which are
necessary to permit radar transfer of control between
adjacent ACC (3.8, Part IV — CNS also refers).
21. For radar services in major terminal areas and in
certain en-route airspace, a complementary use of SSR and
PSR coverage is needed. The requirements should be based
on the nature of the traffic.
22. Planning of changes in the coverage and radar
services for en-route operations should be organized on a
EUR region-wide basis.
23. For the improvement of radar service based on
SSR, advance techniques currently available (e.g. monopulse,
large vertical aperture antennae, use of multi-radar
information, etc.) should be exploited. In this connexion, the
requirement for existing primary radar services to en-route
operations should be kept under review.
AUTOMATION IN ATS
24. The decision to provide automatic data processing
equipment for ATS purposes should be based on agreed
criteria. These are still to be developed and will be contained
in an Attachment to Part V.II — ATS of the EUR FASID in
due course.

26. Computer-assisted data exchange facilities should
be used between ATC units in order to automate to the extent
practicable the coordination between ATC units and
therefore increase airspace capacity. Data exchange facilities
shall be implemented in accordance with the methods of
application specified in Attachment E to Part V.II — ATS of
the EUR FASID.
