Measurement-based ADS-B System for Detection of Off-nominal Intruder Operations

P. Duan, M. Uijt de Haag

Abstract:	Future Aircraft Surveillance Applications (ASA) systems such as conflict detection and resolution, final approach and runway occupancy awareness, and airport surface situational awareness methods will benefit from the introduction of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). An alternative measurement-based ADS-B system, which transmits measurements from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) instead of aircraft state vectors and performance parameters, was proposed previously to improve surveillance performance. This paper presents a preliminary case study on the use of the measurement-based ADS-B system in support of Independent Closely-Spaced Parallel Approaches (ICSPA), which is considered as a high performance application and imposes stringent requirements. This paper will present the results of a flight test of aircraft merging scenarios and describe an ongoing pilot-in-the-loop evaluation study. Particularly, this study focuses on detection of the off-nominal intruder operations.
