Subfield Coding:<br />

DRAFT - Working Paper ASP TSGWP11-01 <strong>for</strong> review by the TSG during the meeting in June 2011 in Paris<br />

1. ACAS Resolution Advisory (RA) active<br />

0 = ACAS II or ACAS RA not active<br />

1 = ACAS RA is active<br />

2. IDENT switch active<br />

0 = Ident switch not active<br />

1 = Ident switch active — retained <strong>for</strong> 18 ±1 seconds<br />

3. Receiving ATC services<br />

0 = Aircraft not receiving ATC services<br />

1 = Aircraft receiving ATC services<br />

B.2.3.10.5 EXTENDED SQUITTER VERSION NUMBER<br />

This 3-bit (ME bits 41–43, message bits 73–75) subfield shall be used to indicate the version number of the <strong>for</strong>mats <strong>and</strong><br />

protocols in use on the aircraft installation. Encoding of the subfield shall be as specified in the following table.<br />

B.2.3.10.6 NAVIGATION INTEGRITY CATEGORY (NIC) AND NIC SUPPLEMENT<br />

Draft<br />

This B.2.3.10.6.1 The NIC supplement is a 1-bit (ME bit 44, message bit 76) subfield that shall be used in conjunction<br />

with the TYPE Code to encode the navigation integrity category (NIC) of the transmitting ADS-B participant to allow<br />

surveillance applications to determine whether the reported geometric position has an acceptable integrity containment<br />

region <strong>for</strong> the intended use. Encoding of the NIC Supplement subfield shall be as specified in the following table. If an<br />

update has not been received from an on-board data source <strong>for</strong> the NIC Supplement subfield within the past 5 seconds,<br />

then the NIC Supplement subfield shall be encoded to indicate that RC is “Unknown.”<br />

Note. — The first 5-bit field (“ME” bits 1–5, Message bits 33–37) in every <strong>Mode</strong> S extended squitter message<br />

contains the <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE code. The <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE code differentiates the messages into several classes: Airborne<br />

Position, Airborne Velocity, Surface Position, Identification, Aircraft Intent, Aircraft State, etc. In addition, the <strong>for</strong>mat<br />

TYPE code also encodes the Navigation Integrity Category (NIC) value of the source used <strong>for</strong> the position report. The<br />

NIC value is used to allow surveillance applications to determine whether the reported geometric position has an<br />

acceptable level of integrity containment region <strong>for</strong> the intended use. The NIC integrity containment region is described<br />

horizontally <strong>and</strong> vertically using two parameters: the containment radius, RC, <strong>and</strong> the Vertical Protection Limit, VPL. The<br />

<strong>for</strong>mat TYPE code also differentiates the Airborne Messages as to the type of their altitude measurements: barometric<br />

pressure altitude or GNSS height (HAE). The 5-bit encoding <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>mat TYPE code <strong>and</strong> NIC values con<strong>for</strong>m to the<br />

definition contained in the table in §B.2.3.1.<br />
