Agenda Item 3
Application of Conformity Assessment to Meteorological Systems
Jean-Paul Doré
10
Review of initial proposal Application of CA to met systems
How to identify/delineate Met systems and constituents part of EATMN?
Systems supporting D-ATIS & D-VOLMET should be part of EATMN (see CATF#13.5)
Feedback from CATF members indicates that this approach is too restrictive
Two possible views:
Service provision of Met information (549/2004, 2096/2005 with amended Annex III)
Systems and constituents for the acquisition, processing and dissemination of Met information
11
CATF#14 Paper on Met Systems
Explore the way ahead to define EATMN Met systems
Met information provided to aeronautical users and covered by ICAO / WMO standards
Anticipate potential overlap or dependency with other processes / initiatives including “verification of compliance” activities with ICAO standards
Highlight orientations for the drafting of specific CA guidelines
12
Essential Requirements Met systems
ER 8.1 Seamless Operations
Systems & procedures for the use of meteorological information shall improve the consistency and timeliness of its provision and the quality of its presentation, using an agreed set of data
ER 8.2 Support for new concepts of operation
Systems & procedures for the use of meteorological information shall improve the promptness and its availability and the speed with which it may be used, in order to support continuous improvement of the efficiency of airspace and airport use
13
Main benefits of Met info for the ATM system
Improved accuracy and timeliness of shared met info to optimize flight trajectory and prediction, safety and efficiency of the ATM system
Increased availability of shared met info onboard a/c will allow the preferred trajectory to be refined in real time
Adverse weather conditions decision for diversion and re-routing
Aerodrome reports and forecasts optimum use of aerodrome capacity
Met info will contribute to minimize the environmental aspect of air traffic

Requirements of ISO 9001:2000
Clause 7.5: Production and service provision
Clause 7.6: Control of monitoring and measuring devices
Potential overlap between requirements of the QMS for Met service providers and conformity assessment of constituents and systems
20
Considerations on the application of CA to Met systems /1
Two categories of users
Airspace users
ATS units, TWR, APP, ACC, FIC, AIS, RCC
CA objectives
Ascertain the quality of service of met information supplied to ATS units
Verification of compliance of supporting systems with applicable ICAO and WMO standards
Provide evidences of compliance for the technical file
Met service providers associated to (ACC, FIC) should issue a DoV:
Supply of met info meets QoS requirements
Generation & dissemination of met info complies with applicable standards
21
Considerations on the application of CA to met systems /2
Met service providers associated to (TWR, APP) should issue a DoV:
Supply of met info meets QoS requirements
Generation & dissemination of met info complies with applicable standards
Met systems subject to CA
System supporting ATIS service
System supporting VOLMET service
Aerodrome weather observation systems, AWOS
System for the generation & dissemination of met info to ACCs
Automated pre-flight planning systems
22
Considerations on the application of CA to met systems /3
Met service providers which will implement a QMS on the basis of Doc 9873 should consider SES CA activities as part of their QMS
23
Next Step
Drafting of guidance materials for the application of CA to met systems:
Definition of EATMN met systems
Identification of ICAO, WMO standards to conduct CA activities
Review by Met service providers and ATSPs

• Step 3: Consolidation
• Timescales
Slide 27
PART C: DEFINITION OF CNS-TYPE CONSTITUENTS
• To harmonise the application of CA to constituents, it is deemed necessary to define a set of CNS-type constituents subject to EC declaration.
• This definition should not be interpreted as a technical specification for the design, production or maintenance of CNS products.
• This definition should be used to determine and delineate the minimum granularity of CNS elements which are subject to EC declaration.
Slide 28
Definitions - IOP Regulation
• Definition of a system:• part of the EATMN and identified by a single name
• coherent group of linked constituents
• a system requires the administration of the assembly as a single system, for the purpose of the CA
• Definition of a constituent:• part of a system
• provides a specific function as part of a system or component
Slide 29
Working definitions
• The following working definitions are required as stepping stones to the identification of constituents:• Functional Area:
° A CNS service that is typically provided by a ‘system’
• Candidate Constituent:° A logical division of a functional area capable of providing a discrete
service
° A constituent will be a refinement of a candidate constituent
• Physical component:° A physical asset that supports provision of a CNS service
° Not all physical assets will be constituents
° A single constituent could represent several components
° A constituent will be a sub-set of physical components
Slide 30
Outline Approach• Step 1: Top-down: Analytical
• Analysis of existing CNS/ATM architectural products and standards to identify:° Functional areas° Identification of candidate constituents° Identification of standards
• Step 2: Bottom-Up: Case Study• Analysis of existing CNS systems from two ANSPs:
° Identification of physical components° Grouping of physical components to functional areas° Review of identified standards
• Step 3: Consolidation• Refinement of CNS Element and Component mappings to identify:
° Constituents° Alignment with:
– Part A – Definition of EATMN systems– Part B – Determination of operational characteristics
Slide 31
Step 1: Analytical identification
• Top-down approach is based on analysis of existing CNS/ATM architectural products (for example OATA, NAS, SESAR etc.) and standards (ICAO, EUROCAE, etc.) to identify:• functional areas
• candidate constituents
• standards

Slide 37
Step 1: Standards Maps
• Develop a standardised model (“map”) for standards and/or specifications for a functional area• e.g. capture the generic standards required
• Populate “map” for each CNS element• e.g. identify the specific standards (and potential gaps)

Slide 39
Step 2: ANSP Case Study
• Bottom-up Analysis of existing CNS systems in operation with ANSPs
• Two Case studies will be performed:• identification of physical components (e.g. an asset list)
• grouping physical components to functional areas
• review of identified standards
Slide 41
Step 3: Consolidation
• Refinement of CNS Element and Component mappings to identify constituents
• Alignment with:• Part A – Definition of EATMN systems
• Part B – Determination of operational characteristics
Slide 42
Step 3: Analyse CNS Element and Components

CandidateConstituent
Physical Component
Slide 44
Identification of Constituents
• The grouping of components into constituents will take due account of:• procurement practice – e.g. the definition of constituent should
not constrain available procurement options.
• granularity of standards – e.g. a constituent should represent the functionality required by a discrete set of standards.
• The concept of bringing in to service – e.g. a constituent should be capable of deployment as part of a system upgrade which may or may not include additional operational characteristics. (This notion will be investigated further in Part B)

Agenda Item 6
Impact assessment of SES interoperability Regulation on ARTAS Products
Jean Marc Duflot & Jean-Paul Doré
60
Outline
Background on ARTAS
SES requirements applicable to constituents and systems
The issues
Proposed approach
Recommendations
61
Background (1/2)
ARTAS (ATM suRveillance Tracker and Server)
Surveillance Data Processing system designed to establish an accurate Air Situation Picture and to distribute “tracks” to a community of user systems.
Recognised as one of the most advanced SDP solution in the world
Composed of ARTAS Application Software, OTS (Off-The-Shelf) software, COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) Software and Hardware.
Used operationally in 19 ATC centres and tested at another 20 sites
Common development and centralised support led by EUROCONTROL enabled substantial savings for ANSP Users.
Development started in 1993, followed up by a group of European SDP experts
Centralised EUROCONTROL Maintenance & Support organisation set up in 1999
Continued development in line with the Surveillance strategy
Ongoing work for compliance to ESARR safety framework
62
Background (2/2)
ARTAS distribution policy:
End user shall sign a “Run-time License Agreement”
Software used on an “as-is” basis
Grants access to the Maintenance & Support service (CAMOS) ruled
by SLA
ARTAS industrial policy:
EUROCONTROL holds most of ARTAS Intellectual Property Rights and
can authorise support, maintenance and development to the ATM industry (Open tender actions)
EUROCONTROL encourages and promotes the use of the ARTAS Application Software by the ATM industry in the ECAC area
The ““ARTAS Industry Licence Agreement” authorises the ATM industry to offer ARTAS together with own product line to any user, within ECAC.
Principles of the license can be found on;
http://www.eurocontrol.int/artas/public/standard_page/artas_industrialpolicy.html
63
SES Requirements
SES interoperability Regulation (EC552/2004) requires in
Article 5, that the manufacturer/representative shall issue an EC declaration of conformity or suitability for use
Article 6, that ANSPs shall establish an EC declaration of systems and submit it to the NSA together with a technical file
EUROCONTROL will continue to provide users with ARTAS technical file documentation needed for ANSPs to establish the EC declaration of verification of systems
64
The Issues (1/4)
Application of obligations on manufacturers/representatives and ANSP’s to an ARTAS product supplied by EUROCONTROL needs careful consideration.
ARTAS users have raised questions on the role of ANSP’s, EUROCONTROL, other actors and the need for a manufacturer declaration
To clarify the status of the ARTAS product, the following 3 questions are asked;
65
The Issues (2/4)
Q 1 –
Should the ARTAS product be considered a constituent of the EATM SUR?
ARTAS designed for integration into SUR systems designed by ANSPs, or ATM system manufacturers
EUROCONTROL provides support to ARTAS users to ease integration the design and integration
No specific reason prevents ANSPs from considering ARTAS as an EATM constituent
66
The Issues (3/4)
Q2 –
What roles do ANSPs, EUROCONTROL and designated sub-partners & contactors developing ARTAS products have?
Role of EUROCONTROL and a manufacturer which designs, develops and maintains a software are alike
Manufacturers in the EU must comply with EU regulations for the
circulation of goods and services.
EUROCONTROL is committed to comply with technical provisions of the SES Regulations, but is not directly subject to those or other EU regulations
ANSPs are not considered to be manufacturers. However, some in-house ANSP manufacturers will issue an EC Declaration of suitability for use as if they were independent manufacturers.
67
The Issues (4/4)
Q3 –
Should EUROCONTROL issue a declaration of suitability for use for ARTAS products?
An EC declaration;
Must be issued by EU manufacturers
Might be issued by in-house ANSP manufacturers
EUROCONTROL can not be considered as a manufacturer as it does not put any product on the market.→ Therefore, it is not considered appropriate that EUROCONTROL issues a formal
EC declaration
Issuance of an EC declaration does not influence the responsibility of ANSPs putting an ARTAS product into service
It is important to ensure that ANSPs have all necessary information, to be confident that the system complies with applicable requirements→ EUROCONTROL is willing to provide such information any time the product is
made available to an ANSP
68
Proposed Approach
EUROCONTROL provides technical requirements elements of the conformity case (Quality Manual, System Test Plan, Users manual,
etc)
This does not modify EUROCONTROL responsibility/liability to;
Supply SUR products compliant with SES Interoperability Regulation
Apply best practices for the conformity assessment of constituents not covered by implementing rules
ANSPs
shall still complete their declaration of verification of SUR systems with traceability between ARTAS constituents and SES interoperability Regulation
69
Recommendations
CATF Members are invited to comment on

Agenda Item 7
Regulatory Contexts of RVSM and Mode S Monitoring Processes
Peter Martin
71
Context
Previous work illustrated benefit of monitoring overall operation of CNS/ATM Air/Ground Systems
Failure of individual constituents => impact on interoperability, safety
Own-system maintenance & monitoring => no complete end-to-end view of interoperability performance
Increased integration => increased need for monitoring
Objective
Investigate regulatory basis for some current examples of overall CNS/ATM Air/Ground Systems monitoring
Inform future development of monitoring schemes

Conclusion: Considerations for Effective Monitoring of CNS/ATM Air/Ground Systems
Monitoring may be necessary for safety and/or interoperability
Regulatory framework helpful but is not a pre-requisite
Regulatory basis facilitates:
Disclosure of information
Follow-up of faults
Funding arrangements
