ADS-B Report – ADS-B Reports are specific in<strong>for</strong>mation provided by the ADS B receive subsystem to<br />

external applications. Reports contain identification, state vector, and status/intent in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

Elements of the ADS B Report that are used and the frequency with which they must be updated<br />

will vary by application. The portions of an ADS B Report that are provided will vary by the<br />

capabilities of the transmitting participant.<br />

ADS-B Report Assembly Function – Takes as inputs the received message data provided from the<br />

ADS-B Message Exchange Function. Develops ADS B reports using the received message data<br />

to provide an ADS-B report as output to an ADS-B application.<br />

ADS-B Source Data – The qualified source data provided to the ADS B Message Generation Function<br />

and ultimately used in the development of ADS B Reports.<br />

ADS-B <strong>System</strong> – A collection of ADS-B subsystems wherein ADS B messages are broadcast and<br />

received by appropriately equipped Participant Subsystems. Capabilities of Participant<br />

Subsystems will vary based upon class of equipage.<br />

Aeronautical Radionavigation Service – A radionavigation service intended <strong>for</strong> the benefit and safe<br />

operation of aircraft.<br />

Airborne Collision – This occurs when two aircraft that are in flight come into contact. The word<br />

“collision” is not an antonym of the word “separation.”<br />

Airborne Separation Assistance <strong>System</strong> (ASAS) – An aircraft system based on airborne surveillance<br />

that provides assistance to the flight crew supporting the separation of their aircraft from other<br />

aircraft.<br />

Airborne Separation Assistance Application – A set of operational procedures <strong>for</strong> controllers and flight<br />

crews that makes use of an Airborne Separation Assistance <strong>System</strong> to meet a defined operational<br />

goal.Airborne Surveillance and Separation Assurance Processing (ASSAP) – ASSAP is the<br />

processing subsystem that accepts surveillance inputs, (e.g., ADS-B reports), per<strong>for</strong>ms<br />

surveillance processing to provide reports and tracks, and per<strong>for</strong>ms application-specific<br />

processing. Surveillance reports, tracks, and any application-specific alerts or guidance are<br />

output by ASSAP to the CDTI function. ASSAP surveillance processing consists of track<br />

processing and correlation of ADS-B, TIS-B, ADS-R, and TCAS reports).<br />

Airborne Traffic Situational Awareness applications (ATSA applications) – These applications are<br />

aimed at enhancing the flight crews’ knowledge of the surrounding traffic situation, both in the<br />

air and on the airport surface, and thus improving the flight crew’s decision process <strong>for</strong> the safe<br />

and efficient management of their flight. No changes in separation tasks are required <strong>for</strong> these<br />

applications.” [PO-ASAS, p.1]<strong>Aircraft</strong> Surveillance Applications (ASA) – Airborne and<br />

surface functions that use ADS-B data and on board processing to be displayed to the flight crew<br />

to enhance their situational awareness, identify potential conflicts and/or collisions, and in the<br />

future to change the own-ship’s spacing from other aircraft.<br />

<strong>Aircraft</strong>/Vehicle (A/V) – Either: 1) a machine or service capable of atmospheric flight, or 2) a vehicle on<br />

the airport surface movement area.<br />

A/V Address – The term “address” is used to indicate the in<strong>for</strong>mation field in an ADS-B Message that<br />

identifies the A/V that issued the message. The address provides a convenient means by which<br />

ADS-B receiving units, or end applications, can sort messages received from multiple issuing<br />

units.<br />
