ASAS-TN2 - Airbourne Separation Assistance System - Thematic Network II
Overview
Background & policy context:
The ASAS-TN2 (Airborne Separation Assistance Systems Thematic Network 2) built on the experience of the ASAS Thematic Network project (ASAS-TN). The ASAS-TN was a two-year project (December 2002 - November 2004) that was primarily a communication activity and that was sponsored by the European Commission (DG Research).
The ASAS Thematic Network 2 was a Co-ordination Action organised within European Commission 6th Framework Programme on 'Aeronautics and Space'. The project is an Open Upstream Research activity for new generation ATM supported by Advanced Airborne System Applications.
Objectives:
The main objective of the ASAS Thematic Network 2 was to accelerate the application of ASAS/ADS-B operations in the European Airspace taking into account global applicability in order to increase airspace capacity and safety.
Methodology:
The main ASAS Thematic Network 2 outputs consist in the sharing of the current knowledge on ASAS/ADS-B between all European stakeholders and in recommendations for future activities required to reach the operational use of ASAS applications. It is expected that these results will be of use to guide European actions.
The expectation is also that the shared knowledge and the agreed upon recommendations will be fed inter alia into the European ATM Master plan and allow European industry to optimally plan and focus their new products development strategy.
The ASAS TN2 is a communication project, 6 events (5 workshops & a final seminar) to provide valuable opportunities for the participants to exchange up to date information through discussions on ASAS/ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast) applications in a structured and focussed way, the reports produced after each workshop capture and document the essence of the discussions held, so as to make it available to a wider audience and also allow tracking of ASAS/ADS-B development. The reports are actually the key deliverables from the workshops.
