GS applications in Kiruna
A Swedish ADS-B validation site

Kiruna specifications
Kiruna is the most Northern Airport in Sweden No radar coverage in TMA below FL 80 Airlines require improved SUR service 10 schedule movements per day Some charter Limited GA and military traffic Aircraft winter testing Experimental activities; UAV, Esrange Frequently complicated weather situations
Göran Hasslar / SCAA3
System Transceivers currently installed in one
helicopter and one aircraft, but no CDTI One Ground Station installed ADS-B ground network
– Easy data transfer between different locations Kiruna-Luleå or Kiruna-Sturup
ADS-B/ Radar display. One for air and one ground display

Applications to be used
ATC surveillance in non-radar areas (ADS-B-NRA)– Radar and ADS-B mix in the
southern part of Kiruna TMA.
Airport surface surveillance (ADS-B-APT)– Mix of equipped and non-equipped– Low flying helicopters
Controller – ”Now we can see what we earlier only heard.”
Göran Hasslar / SCAA5
Operational changes
Procedures– Basic radar-like procedures. Overlay of radar procedures to GPS
procedures. – No change in separation minima to in near future, but later on after
more tests and built up confidence– Some new procedures for seamless flight is foreseen, but no
revolutionary or extensive ones
Phraseology– Some new minor for example ”Radar contact” will be changed to
”ADS-B contact”
CDM enabler for AOC or other users on the ground

Operational changes
New routings to be used depending of ADS-B equipped or not. Procedural/non-procedural traffic

Validation snapshot
Validation aims and objectives identified; foreseen is a more safe (i.e surveillance in bad weather conditions and better SAR) and efficient ATM
Continue with the live tests during next year – some already performed to test quality of ADS-B (with and without DGNSS)
Controllers and pilots highly involved – this is not (only) best engineering guesses

Future validation possibilities
Test trails with more traffic – planned installation of transceivers in 10 to 15 GA
Other AS and GS application with the addition of CDTI. Next step could be ATSAW and then Spacing and so on.
Eurocontrol NRA validation activities might be performed in Kiruna during end 2003 and 2004.
Introduce other services such as FIS-B and validate more aspects of the implemented system

Safety snapshot
Application was handed over to Swedish Aviation Safety Authority for Entry control 2003-06
Safetycase for all system parts Safetycase for the surveillance
application is maturing Into operation Q2 2004
Helicopter pilot
– ”It feels safe to be seen by ATC”
Göran Hasslar / SCAA10
Biggest safety issues
Complicated safety case for the whole chain – including the transceivers. How to make sure that no “low-quality” transceiver used by anyone in Kiruna TMA?
All new for the Safety Authority, no operational history for the system
Unforeseen issues pop-up Data collection to convince
yourself and others

Other validation projects
ITS Arlanda – 2005– Validate separation algorithms and application benefits – simulation
Ground Arlanda – 2005– Validate ADS-B as part of A-SMGCS – Live tests with ADS-B and TIS-B
Enhanced General Aviation Operation Application –EGOA –2005 – 40-50 GA, sail, balloons and other equipped with transponder and
small pocket CDTIs.– Live tests with ADS-B (both to ATC and pilots) and FIS-B– Three airports with ground station and RDP with ADS-B
Göran Hasslar / SCAA12
Next steps
ADS-B In Arlanda SMGCS for operational use 2003-11, including CDM project Bus coordination, 2003-10
Use of ARTAS tracker developments with ADS-B Upgrade RDPs, S2K and I-ACS with ADS-B capability Introduce other services in the system e.g FIS-B, TIS-B Transparent use of ADS-B data in all ATC and airport
related processes including SAR ADS-B exchange with neighbouring states and stakeholders
(CDM) Installing ADS-B ground stations at all major SCAA
airports
Göran Hasslar / SCAA13
Motive round-up
Safety, enhanced SAR and enabler for ATSAW Airport surface operations must be improved in all weather
conditions
ADS-B can at a low cost be used at all airports and integrated in various local systems
ADS-B infrastructure can be installed at 5-10% of the cost for a new Mode-S/SSR infrastructure
ASAS applications are suitable for Swedish Airspace and can improve the capacity without large infrastructure investments(new runways)

Welcome to the future,
it is now and it is here, Sweden.
Thank You!
