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. | 2 © COMSOFT Solutions GmbH | Member of the FREQUENTIS Group ReGional Based Airports are GrowinG. ▮ 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.
