AIMS OF THE WORKSHOP
Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems and airport systems are
rapidly evolving to meet increased efficiency, safety, security, environmental and
business demands. A deep evolution with radical changes of the current Air Traffic
Management System is going on both in Europe, with the SESAR program, and in the USA (Nex
Gen program). New architectures are needed for modern control and traffic management
systems in air and in ground operations, as well as for service vehicles on the airport
surface. The related Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) infrastructures
permit enhanced positioning and identification means such as Multilateration (MLAT) and
Wide Area MLAT (WAM), automatic dependent surveillance (ADS-B) and automatic vehicles
location and management. Radar techniques, including the novel Passive Coherent Location,
and Multistatic techniques, still pre-operational or in research phase, permit detection
and location of non-cooperating aircraft.
Most of these enhanced surveillance means are both spatially and logically distributed.
In this frame, new system architectures and new algorithms for integrity monitoring and
for multi-sensor data fusion are required. Security and defense systems use similar
algorithms for passive location of targets based on measurements of Time, Doppler
frequency, angle/direction.
Following the successful Symposia ESAVS 2007 in Bonn/Germany, ESAV’08 in Capri/Italy
and ESAVS 2010 in Berlin/Germany, ESAV'11 is dedicated to provide up-to-date information
to researchers, operational experts and decision makers in the world of sensors and
systems development, tracking, sensor data fusion, avionics and airport operations as well
as of the pertaining air traffic control procedures.
