How Quadrant ADS-B/MLAT supports the growth of regional Speaker: airports Scott Hauswald © COMSOFT Solutions GmbH | ATC Global 2016 | Slide 1 Introduction Multilateration and Wide Area Multilateration
▮ Independent Cooperative Technology (Secondary Surveillance technology)
▮ Commonly the systems deployed usually cover two technologies
▮ Independent Cooperative – MSSR, MLAT and WAM
▮ Dependent Cooperative – ADS-B
▮ Can be deployed to support a wide variety of use cases (MLAT).
▮ EUROCAE ED-117 – In support of Surface Movement Ground Control Systems
▮ EUROCAE ED-142 – Wide Area Multilateration Systems. TMA (3 NM Separation) and ENR (5 NM Separation.)
▮ Specialty Deployments:
▮ Situational Awareness Systems,
▮ PRM - Parallel Runway Monitoring,
▮ SRA - Surveillance Radar Approach,
▮ PAR - Precision Approach Radar,
▮ HMU - Height Monitoring Units.

▮ Regional Based Multilateration Systems provides enhanced Safety Awareness and offer a cost advantage deployment when compared to a single deployment.
▮ Several Airports co-funding and sharing a single Multilateration System.
▮ Can provide each Airport surveillance coverage to threshold and possibility tracking on runways.
▮ Provides each airport with surrounding coverage, >60NM
▮ Depends on distance between co-operating airports.
▮ Reduces/Shares overall implementation cost.
▮ More Value for your Investment.
Airports serving less than 1 million passengers a year has grown by 81% since between 2001 and 2010. Source ACI Europe

▮ There is always an ongoing discussion between what is more cost effective, a Multilateration deployment or a SSR/MSSR (Rotating Radar.)
▮ This is very site dependent and should be part of a ANSP’s or Airport Operators decision process to determine what technology would suit their business needs (Life Cycle Cost Analysis.)
▮ “Brownfield” versus “Greenfield” sites
▮ Site Rental costs (do we need to pay a third party for site rental fees) SSR
▮ With a regional approach this should be reduced or removed MLAT/WAM
since we are using Airport property/land for the equipment. ADS-B ▮ Communication costs/Infrastructure cost; leased communication services or dedicated communication deployments

▮ Trax International in cooperation with HIAL identified that Dundee Airport would be looking for a Cost Effective Surveillance System to improve situational awareness.
▮ Comsoft Solutions recognized this as an area that could benefit from a Regional Based System.
▮ Six Key Airports Selected.
▮ Campbell Town Airport
▮ Islay Airport
▮ Tiree Airport
▮ Benebucla Airport
