STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR INDIA

(Presented by India)

SUMMARY

This paper provides the information on State Implementation Plan for India based on the information provided to APANPIRG/22.

ADS-B is a next Generation Surveillance Technology that supports Radar

like separation standards and system bring significant safety and efficiency

benefits. As per the conclusions of APANPIRG /22 India is procuring ADS-B Ground station at 14 locations which will be integrated to ATC Automation system.

This paper relates to –

Strategic Objectives: A: Safety – Enhance global civil aviation safety C: Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development of Air Transport – Foster harmonized and economically viable development of international civil aviation that does not unduly harm the environment

Global Plan Initiatives: GPI-9 Situational awareness GPI-12 Functional integration of ground systems with airborne systems GPI-16 Decision support systems and alerting systems GPI-17 Data link applications GPI-21 Navigation systems GPI-22 Communication infrastructure

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 India is planning to install ADS-B Ground station in redundant configuration at 14 Airports which are listed below:-

i. Amritsar ii. Jaipur Northern Region iii. Lucknow iv. Varanasi

v. Ahmedabad Western Region vi. Nagpur

vii. Calicut viii. Cochin ix. Coimbatore Southern Region x. Mangalore xi. Port Blair xii. Trivandrum

xiii. Agartala North Eastern Region xiv. Guwahati

1.2 ADS-B ground system at Amritsar, Varanasi, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Cochin, Mangalore, Trivandrum and Guwahati will provide supplementary surveillance coverage as a standby to radar systems. ADS-B ground stations at other airports i.e. Jaipur, Lucknow, will facilitate in filling the surveillance gap due to non-availability of radars at these airports.

1.3 New ATC Automation System has already been installed at Nagpur, Ahmadabad, Mangalore, Trivandrum, Guwahati and Varanasi with capability of processing ADS-B input and presenting on the Air-situation display. New Automation System at other above mentioned airports is under installation.

1.4 ADS-B ground station at Port Blair will provide the surveillance coverage over Bay of Bengal till the FIR boundary of Chennai / Kuala Lumpur and Kolkata / Yangon. The Port Blair ADS-B information is proposed to be fed to ATC Automation Systems at Chennai and Kolkata respectively.

1.5 India has also successfully integrated Radars and ADS-B in Chennai FIR thus enabling seamless upper airspace with lower limit as FL 260. India is also planning to integrate Surveillance sensors at Delhi and Mumbai ATC Centers.

2. SURVEILLANCE COVERAGE OVER INDIAN AIR SPACE

2.1 After implementation of ADS-B program, Surveillance coverage over Indian Air-space with available Radars and upcoming ADS-B ground stations is projected as below:-

3. OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION ABOUT INDIA ADS-B PROJECT

3.1 In accordance with the recommendation made by Eleventh ICAO Air Navigation Planning Conference , India is using 1090MHz Extended Squitter data link for ADS-B data exchange over Indian Air-space.

3.2 As per ADS-B Implementation and Operations Guidance Document (AIGD), India is procuring ADS-B Ground stations for fourteen Airports which shall be capable of detecting, identifying and tracking targets equipped with ADS-B transponders compliant with ICAO SARPS Annex 10. Volume IV and 1090MHz Extended Squitter avionics compliant with DOC9684 and RTCA DO-260, DO-260A & 260B & DO-259.

3.3 ADS-B Ground Receivers being purchased by India shall accept the position data incorporated in ADS-B message with Navigation Uncertainty category (NUC) value as low as 5 (0.5 NM) or Navigation Integrity category (NIC) value as low as a 6 (0.6 NM) respectively to maintain high degree of reliance and integrity.

3.4 In next phase by end of 2014, India proposes to install more number of ADS-B Ground station depending upon the traffic density at airports as well as to provide redundancy to existing Radar systems. India is also planning to install ADS-B Ground system at airport where terrain limitations are restricting Radar installation in the North-East & Northern part of India. This will facilitate the Situation awareness on Air situation Displays at such Airports where Nov-Aid Installation is not feasible.

SEA/BOB ADS-B WG/7-IP/4 -4- Agenda Item 4 28/11/11

3.5 AAI has requested DGCA-India to mandate the ADS-B operation over the Indian Air Space.

3.6 ATS Procedures are being prepared.

4. DISCUSSION

4.1 There are number of neighboring countries who are planning to create ADS-B infrastructure. India will also create the ADS-B infrastructure in line with them so that interoperability issue and data exchange issues can be minimized at a later date. This will reduce the complexity of operations and allowing Aircraft operators to operate in the region with the same air-borne equipment. Sharing of ADS-B data from ADS-B Receivers which are close to FIR Boundary of neighboring countries can also be looked into provided ADS-B data-link are provided by recipient countries.
