3.2.1.2 ASSAP [extracted from DO-289 2.3.1.4]
The ASSAP subsystem represents the surveillance and application-specific processing
functions of ASA. ASSAP surveillance processing consists of correlation, possible data
fusion, and track processing of ADS-B, TIS-B, and TCAS traffic reports. ASSAP
application processing provides the application-specific processing for all ASA
applications. The extent of ASSAP application processing is dependent upon the
aircraft’s ASA capabilities, as determined by the ASA Capability Level (ACL)
[DJE1](refer to §2.2.3 for a definition and description of ACLs). ASSAP application
processing may be minimal for airborne situational awareness applications (e.g.,
Enhanced Aid to Visual AcquisitionEVAcq), denoted as a Basic ACL), or may require
more significant processing for surface situational awareness applications (e.g., ATSA
SURF), or such as providing speed guidance forapplications (e.g., ASIA FIMS)applications, or alerting processing for applications such as ACM or ICSPA. The
ASSAP subsystem also monitors and processes flight crew inputs via the interface from
the CDTI subsystem, and provides all traffic surveillance data and ASA applicationspecific data for visual and /or aural display to the CDTI for the flight crew.
The CDTI provides the two-way interface between the flight crew and ASA. The flight
crew can select and control the various ASA applications via the CDTI, while the CDTI
provides the aural and visual ASA-specific display information to the flight crew.

Note for Figure 2-4: Detailed ASSAP and CDTI performance and subsystem
requirements are expected to be addressed in a future standards document, i.e.,

ASSAP receives surveillance inputs from the ADS-B / ADS-R / TIS-B Receive
Subsystem in the form of ADS-B and TIS-B reports. The ASSAP subsystem is integral
to ASA application processing, providing surveillance processing on all available
surveillance reports, and providing the application-specific processing associated with all
ASA applications.
While ASSAP provides all application-specific processing for ASA, it also maintains the
interfaces to and from the CDTI Display and Control Panel subsystem. It is due to the
close association of the ASSAP and the CDTI and their shared interface, that it was
decided to develop a futurethe ASSAP and CDTI MOPS as a single requirements
document. The two sub-systems, ASSAP and CDTI, constitute the “Airborne Separation
Assistance System” (ASAS) [ASAS Circular]. The future MOPS for ASSAP and CDTI
is to beand the Minimum Operational Performance Standards document for this system is
termed the “ASAS MOPS.”
As shown in Figure 2-4, the CDTI subsystem also serves as the ASA interface to the
flight crew.

3.2.1.2.2
Requirements for ASSAP [extracted from DO-289 2.4.3.4]
The two major functions of ASSAP are surveillance processing and applications
processing. Requirements for ASSAP are described in §3.34.2.
Surveillance processing:
•
•
•
•
Establishes tracks from ADS-B, ADS-R, and TIS-B traffic reports
Cross-references traffic from different surveillance sources (ADS-B, ADS-R,
TIS-B, and TCAS)
Estimates track state (e.g., position, velocity), and track quality
Deletes tracks that are beyond the maximum allowable coast time for any
ASA applications
Applications processing:
•
•
•
Determines the appropriateness of track information for various applications,
and forwards the track data to the CDTI
Performs alerting functions (e.g., CD, ACM, and ICSPATSAA)
May derive guidance information for various future applications, e.g., ASIA.
ASSAP is supported by navigation information from own--ship. Each ASA participant
should input to ASSAP the highest quality state data that is available on-board; this
information should be the same as that used for ADS-B transmission. See §2.4.2 for
guidance on highest quality source selection. ASSAP shall (289R2.27) assess the ability
of own-ship and traffic targets to support the active applications or applications within an
active ACL; this is to be done by ASSAP assessing own--ship performance and
transmitted data quality as specified in Table 2-4 and by assessing received traffic-ship
data quality as specified in Table 2-1.

Airborne Surveillance and
Requirements [extracted from DO-289 3.3.2]
Separation

Processing
(ASSAP)
ASSAP is the surveillance and separation assurance processing component of ASA.
ASSAP processes incoming data from other aircraft/vehicles and derives information for
display on the CDTI, as well as alerting and guidance information that will also be
displayed. Flight crew command and control inputs that affect application functions are
also processed by ASSAP. ASSAP consists of three sub-functions, as illustrated in
Figure 3-5:
1. A surveillance processing sub-function that integrates surveillance data from
multiple sources, establishes tracks, and determines the surveillance quality of
traffic.
2. A function to process coupled applications – deriving specific alert and guidance
information to provide to the flight crews.
3. A function to process background applications, deriving required alerts and
guidance for conflict detection and airborne conflict management.
[need to confirm the sub-functions above]
Figure 3-6 illustrates the data flow and report structure from the ADS-B receiver to
ASSAP and to the CDTI. The discussion in this section will include details on the
reports illustrated in the figure and the associated processing.

3.4.2.1
ASSAP Functional Requirements
ASSAP functional requirements are broken into surveillance processing requirements
(§3.3.2.1.1) and applications processing requirements (§3.3.2.1.2).
3.4.2.1.1
ASSAP Surveillance Processing Requirements
The ASSAP surveillance processing as described below is required for all ASA
Capability Levels. (See §3.3.2.1.1.1 for definitions of terms.)
ASSAP surveillance processing function receives information for traffic A/V’s from
various surveillance sources, correlates the data, registers the data, and outputs a track file
consisting of state and other information about each A/V under track. Requirements for
the surveillance sub-function follow. Note that the tracking and correlation functions
make extensive use of the data that is provided in state data (Table 3-18).
1. ASSAP shall (289R3.169) provide a tracking function. The tracking function:
a. Shall (289R3.170) maintain, for each A/V under track, a file that contains, at
a minimum, the elements listed in Table 3-4.
b. Shall (289R3.171) determine all fields in Table 3-4 that are not directly
provided in measurements. The last measurement data fields indicated in
Table 3-4 are intended to include variables that were obtained with the last
valid measurement received for the track.
© 2011 RTCA, Inc.
9
c. Shall (289R3.172) include a correlation function that associates traffic data
from different surveillance sources that relate to the same aircraft/vehicle
track, i.e., the correlation function is required to associate and cross-reference
traffic data from ADS-B traffic, ADS-R traffic, TIS-B traffic, and TCAS
traffic. The correlation function shall (289R3.173) update traffic cross
references when new information is available from the ADS-B/ADS-R/TISB receive subsystem or TCAS.
d. Should include a registration bias estimation function that estimates
systematic biases between surveillance sources (e.g., ADS-B, ADS-R, TISB) providing reports on each A/V.
e. Should include a registration correction function that registers measurements
(including time, position, and velocity) from different surveillance sources.
Note: Registration bias estimation and correction are needed to align
position information from different sensors. These sensors may have
systematic biases that could cause data from multiple sources to be
misaligned. Since position data from multiple sensors is to be used
in common automation algorithms and common displays, an
alignment, or registration function, is necessary. Registration
estimation and correction functions are likely to be required in the
ASAS MOPS. [confirm and reword accordingly]
f.
Shall (289R3.174) include an estimation function that estimates track state
based on one or more surveillance source inputs. Track state includes time
of the state estimate, horizontal position, horizontal velocity, altitude, altitude
rate, heading (if possible), and track quality, including accuracy, integrity
containment boundary, and integrity containment risk (see §2.4.5.3).
The estimation function may combine information from different data
sources in order to improve the track state estimate. ASSAP surveillance
processing shall (289R3.175) optimize the quality of the information best
suited to the applications being run (e.g., accuracy, integrity containment
bound, or integrity containment risk). ASSAP may enhance the quality of
the track information, using techniques such as Kalman filters. ASSAP shall
(289R3.176) estimate the quality of the track state information that is
maintained in the track file, and maintain quality measures for the track state
information, as indicated in Table 3-15.
Note:
The fusion of TCAS measurements with ADS-B or other data is the
subject of continuing debate and will be treated in the ASAS MOPS.
g. Shall (289R3.177) initiate a track for each observed A/V when sufficient
measurement information is received to form a minimum track state.
Required minimum measurement elements are noted in Table 3-15.
h. Shall (289R3.178) terminate a track when the maximum coast interval
(Table 2-3, row 17) has been exceeded for all of the applications for which
the track is potentially being used.

2. Correlation of TCAS data: If TCAS data is to be integrated on the CDTI,
ASSAP shall (289R3.179) correlate the TCAS tracks with its internal tracks to
the extent practicable. For correlated TCAS tracks, ASSAP shall (289R3.180)
recognize if a track has an active TCAS resolution advisory or traffic advisory,
and shall (289R3.181) provide that information in the track file (see Table 3-4).
The probability of mismatching TCAS/ADS-B tracks, or not matching
TCAS/ADS-B tracks, should be minimized (the criterion for minimizing shall
(289R3.182) be defined in the ASAS MOPS).
Note:
The processing of multiple targets for the same A/V is treated in the
tracking section item 1f above.
3. TIS-B / ADS-R / ADS-B correlation: while it is normally expected that TIS-B
and ADS-B / ADS-R information (on a given link) will be mutually exclusive [it
seems like this statement is no longer valid – check], the possibility exists that an
ASA participant will receive TIS-B and ADS-B / ADS-R information on the
same aircraft. Therefore, ASSAP surveillance processing shall (289R3.183)
cross-correlate the traffic from TIS-B and ADS-B / ADS-R reports supplied by
the ADS-B receiver. The correlation should make use of all available data that
can assist in this process from state data and other information. The probability
of mismatching TIS-B / ADS-B / ADS-R tracks, or not matching TIS-B / ADS-B
/ ADS-R tracks, should be minimized. (t The criterion for minimizing shall
(289R3.184) be defined in the ASAS MOPS).
Notes:
1. The processing of multiple targets for the same A/V is treated in the tracking
section item 1f above.
2. TIS-B may transmit all known surface traffic in part or all of an airport
movement area in order to enhance coverage.
4. ADS-B / ADS-B correlation: if the aircraft ADS-B installation includes multiple
ADS-B links, ASSAP surveillance processing shall (289R3.185) correlate (crossreference) traffic from the different links and associate the traffic with the
appropriate ASSAP track.
5. The ASSAP shall (289R3.185-A) assess the TQL and ACL from all A/Vs to
determine the ability of those A/Vs’ equipment and broadcast data to support the
installed applications. Table 3-14 indicates the required TQL to support the
applications in each ACL.
6. ASSAP shall (289R3.186) provide current traffic state position information to
the interface with the CDTI with at least a 1 Hz rate.

Definitions
This section contains definitions of terms used above.
ADS-B / TCAS / TIS-B Correlation Status: This field indicates whether the track is
being surveilled by ADS-B, TCAS, TIS-B, or a combination thereof.
Correlation: The process of determining that a new measurement belongs to an existing
track.
Covariance: A two dimensional symmetric matrix representing the uncertainty in a
track’s state. The diagonal entries represent the variance of each state; the off-diagonal
terms represent the covariances of the track state.
Estimation: The process of determining a track’s state based on new measurement
information
Extrapolation: The process of moving a track’s state forward in time based on the track’s
last estimated kinematic state.
© 2003 RTCA, Inc.
14
Registration: The process of aligning measurements from different sensors by removing
systematic biases.
Time of SV estimate: The time at which the track state estimate is made.
TCAS Traffic status: The status of the TCAS track, if applicable, from the TCAS
system. The four states are: Resolution Advisory (RA), Traffic Advisory (TA),
proximate, and other.
Track: A sequence of time-tagged measurements and state information relating to a
particular aircraft or vehicle.
Track State: The basic kinematic variables that define the state of the aircraft or vehicle
of a track, e.g., position, velocity, acceleration.
3.4.2.1.2
ASSAP Applications Processing Requirements
ASSAP shall (289R3.187) make ASSAP track reports available to the CDTI for all active
applications. ASSAP shall (289R3.188) deliver track reports to the CDTI for all aircraft
of sufficient quality for at least enhanced visual acquisition [why specify EVAcq?],
extrapolated to a common time that is within 1 second of the time the data is delivered to
the CDTI, with at least a 1 Hz rate. In the case where there is no valid velocity data,
ASSAP should derive velocity from successive position measurements. In this case,
ASSAP shall (289R3.189) estimate the velocity accuracy, and use the estimated value to
determine traffic qualification as appropriate as indicated by Table 2-3.
Note:
Precise conditions under which airborne and surface traffic is to be displayed
and filtered is to be developed in the ASAS MOPS. See §3.3.3 for filtering
requirements on the CDTI.
ASSAP track reports elements are listed above in Table 3-15.

[***BEYOND THIS POINT RELIES HEAVILY ON ACL AND HAS NOT BEEN CLOSELY
REVIEWED YET***]
3.4.2.1.2.1
Basic and Intermediate ASA
Application Eligibility:
•
ASSAP track quality (§3.3.2.1.1) shall (289R3.195) be compared with
acceptable values for basic and intermediate applications, as per Table 2-3.
Note that if the track is being surveilled by multiple sources, the determination of
acceptability for applications should be based on the track quality as derived by ASSAP,
rather than on quality of any individual source. If the sole surveillance source of
information is ADS-B or TIS-B, the track quality assessment shall (289R3.196) be based
on the transmit quality level (TQL) transmitted by the source and, for TQL > 1, the NIC,
NACP, NACV, and SIL requirements specified in Table 2-3.
The ASSAP track report shall (289R3.197) be updated to reflect any degraded condition
for EVAcq or ASSA/FAROA, as appropriate, as per Table 2-3. The ASSAP track report
shall (289R3.198) indicate if the track’s quality is insufficient for a basic application.
If the installed system has the option for conflict detection (CD), ASSAP shall
(289R3.199) determine if each track is eligible for CD processing, as per Table 2-3. Each
track that is eligible for CD shall (289R3.200) be processed by the CD alerting function,
and CAZ alerts or CDZ alerts shall (289R3.201) be issued as appropriate. ASSAP shall
(289R3.202) include in the ASSAP track report the status of the CAZ alert and the CDZ
alert.
Processing of selected surveillance ID/status elements:
Surveillance status contains information that is of use to various applications, and
contains data that must be reported on the CDTI. Required processing of certain
elements of surveillance status are indicated below:
a. The ASA MASPS version number (§3.1.5.24) shall (289R3.203) be used to
coordinate applications processing appropriately for the version combination on
own-ship and the target ship.
© 2003 RTCA, Inc.
17
b. Call Sign / Flight ID shall (289R3.204) be included in the ASSAP track file
(Table 3-15) and shall (289R3.205) be provided to the CDTI in the

3.4.2.1.2.2
ASSAP shall (289R3.209) convert heading from true or magnetic heading to the
appropriate orientation for consistent display on the CDTI.
Advanced ASA 1
ASSAP will process the ACM application based on future algorithms to be determined.
ASSAP will issue appropriate advisory information to the CDTI. ASSAP will take into
account any TCAS resolution advisories issued by the target ship or own-ship; own-ship
TCAS resolution advisories will take precedence over ASA advisories. Target-ship
TCAS resolution advisories will limit any ASA resolution advisories to horizontal
maneuvers.
3.4.2.1.2.3
Advanced ASA 2
ASSAP will process the ASIA and ICSPA applications based on future algorithms to be
determined. For the ASIA application, ASSAP will derive speed guidance. For the
ICSPA application, ASSAP will provide path and break-out alerts as required. See the
appropriate application appendix for more information on these applications.
3.4.2.2
ASSAP Performance Requirements
General requirements for ASSAP are as follows:
Latency for the combination of ASSAP and the CDTI (interface E to interface G in
Figure 2-7) shall (289R3.210) be less than 400 ms for targets that are used by coupled
applications, targets against which there is an alert, and the 10 highest priority targets.
For all other targets, data latency shall (289R3.211) be less than 1 second.
Note:
The prioritization of targets is application-specific and is to be specified in the
ASAS MOPS. The specific allocation of latency to ASSAP and CDTI is also to be
specified in the MOPS, including bus latencies.
ASSAP shall (289R3.212) achieve the subsystem integrity risk and continuity risk
requirements listed in Table 3-17.

Notes for Table 3-18:
1. Required if TCAS is present in the configuration and an integrated TCAS/ASA traffic display
is used. These outputs are expected to be supplied by current TCAS installation.
2. This information requires a change to the standard TCAS bus outputs defined in ARINC 735A
that currently does not provide the Mode S address code, nor does it necessarily output
pressure altitude.
3. For display of up/down arrow if there is no ADS-B track that correlates with the TCAS track.
4. If Available. If altitude rate is unavailable, altitude rate should be computed by ASSAP.
5. If available.
6. Range rate and range acceleration may be required in the future.

Table 3-18: Interfaces to ASSAP (continued)
3.4.2.3.1
Interfaces to ASSAP from the ADS-B/TIS-B Receive Subsystem
The interface from the ADS-B/TIS-B receive subsystem provides information
elements identified in Table 3-18.
3.4.2.3.1.1
Future: Special Data
Planned final approach speed will need to be communicated to ASSAP from both
own-ship and the lead-ship if the ASIA application is implemented. Planned
final approach speed is the speed input to the ASIA application for the lead ship
and is an indicated airspeed.
3.4.2.3.2
Interfaces to ASSAP from TCAS
For initial ASA applications, TCAS data is needed specifically to support
configurations with integrated ASA / TCAS traffic displays. For these
configurations, the data items in the following subparagraphs shall (289R3.214)
be provided to ASSAP for each TCAS track that is to be displayed. These items
are required to allow the correlation of TCAS tracks with ASA tracks for traffic
display integration. These items also allow the display of an indication of an
active Resolution Advisory (RA), or Traffic Advisory (TA).
3.4.2.3.2.1
RA Active
The RA Active flag indicates that a TCAS Resolution Advisory is currently in
progress for the track; ASSAP shall (289R3.215) accept an RA active flag from
the TCAS equipment.
3.4.2.3.2.2
TA Active
The TA active flag indicates that a Traffic Advisory is currently in progress for
the track; ASSAP shall (289R3.216) accept a TA active flag from the TCAS
equipment.
3.4.3.2.3
Range
The range of the TCAS track from own-ship.
3.4.2.3.2.4
Bearing
The bearing of the TCAS track from own-ship relative to the ship’s heading.
3.4.2.3.2.5
Altitude
The pressure altitude of the track as reported by TCAS.
3.4.2.3.2.6
Altitude Rate
The rate of change of altitude with respect to time.
3.4.2.3.2.7
TCAS Target Aircraft Address
The 24-bit aircraft address (i.e., Mode S address) for the TCAS track (if available
to TCAS).
3.4.2.3.2.8
TCAS Track ID
The internal track ID of the TCAS track.
Note:
3.4.2.3.2.9
The scheme for identifying TCAS track ID is not standardized.
TCAS Report Time

Table 3-18: Interfaces to ASSAP (continued)
The time of the TCAS report.
Note:
This time may be derived, rather than a specific parameter.
3.4.2.3.3
Interfaces to ASSAP from Own-ship Navigation
3.4.2.3.3.1
Own-ship State Data
Own-ship state data is defined identically to that of the target ship state data, see
Table 3-18 for appropriate reference sections.
3.4.2.3.3.2
Own-Ship Quality
Own-ship quality is very similar to target ship quality; however, as the
information comes directly from the navigation system it is not yet categorized
into NIC, NAC and SIL values.
An integrity containment radius for position and associated no-alarm probability
are assumed to be available from the navigation system. A 95% accuracy bound
on both position and velocity are also assumed to be available. ASSAP shall
(289R3.217) provision for the acceptance of these parameters.
3.4.2.3.4
Flight Crew Inputs
A flight crew input may be required to display desired target parameters. For
certain applications, the flight crew must select a specific target.
3.4.2.3.4.1
Application Selection
An application selection is the selection of a desired application that is to be run.
3.4.2.3.4.2
Coupled Target
A coupled target is a target upon which a coupled application is to be conducted.
3.4.2.3.4.3
Selected Target
A selected target is a target for which additional information is requested by the
flight crew.
3.4.2.3.4.4
Alert Zone Selection
The alert zone specifies the horizontal and vertical criteria for a CD alert or ACM
alert and resolution.
3.4.2.3.4.5
Future: Own-ship Planned Final Approach Speed
3.4.2.3.5
Future: Own-Ship ID
Own-ship ID includes own-ship category that is needed for supporting the ASIA
application. Both own-ship and lead-ship categories are needed to determine
wake vortex separation minimums.
