PMA209 2012 Core Avionics Master Plan - NAVAIR - U.S. Navy

Core Avionics Master Plan 2012 Appendix A-4Appendix A-4Cooperative SurveillanceScope: This capability area addresses avionics that support Air Traffic Management(ATM) and cooperative Combat Identification (CID). Enabling systems, waveforms andprotocols include radio transmitters (data communication functions), flight informationand Precise Participant Location and Identification (PPLI) datalinks, Identification Friendor Foe (IFF) interrogators and transponders, digital waveforms and encryption.“Cooperative” implies passive or pre-coordinated systems that trade information overtly.Specialized active and passive signature sensor systems are not addressed.Capability Evolution:Capability Capability Desired WarfightingEnablersElements Enhancements Capabilities• Global Airspace • Radios• Global AirspaceAccessAccess & Mobility• Flight Safety &OperationalEfficiencies• CooperativeCombat ID• Robustness& Security• Datalinks• Interrogators• Transponders• Displays• Waveforms• Encryption• Improved AirTraffic, Flight Info& Weather SA• ExpandedCooperative ID• Civils, Neutrals• Coalition Forces• NSA compliantsecurity• Dominant Maneuver• Single IntegratedAir Picture• Force Protection• Zero Fratricide• InformationAssuranceObjective: Global Mobility and Single Integrated Air PictureBaseline Enhancement Objectives and Transition Strategy.Military aircraft configurations must meet civil ATM mandates to enable access to allcivilian controlled airspaces required for transit to operational areas. Compliance is metby integration of Communications, Navigation, Surveillance / ATM (CNS/ATM) systemsand capabilities. Most aircraft have been certified to meet mandate deadlines that havealready passed. New production aircraft will be delivered with compliant systems. Theprimary CNS/ATM functionalities that currently need to be met for operations in theUnited States National Airspace System (NAS) and European airspaces include: 8.33 khz VHF channel spacing for more discrete frequencies to manage traffic loads. Protected Instrument Landing System (PILS) to prevent FM radio stationinterference. Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) for high altitude traffic separation. Required Navigational Performance (RNP) and Area Navigation (RNAV) for selectedlevels of lateral separation in terms of nautical miles (nm). Mode Select (Mode S) secondary surveillance radar for ground to air data-linkselective interrogation to manage increased air traffic capacity, support higher dataintegrity, reduce radio frequency interference and enable air to ground data exchange. Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) for automated GPSposition, velocity, and quality reporting to ground controllers.A-4 Cooperative Surveillance 1
