Integrated surveillance capability gap analysis

Abstract

Integrated surveillance is defined as the integration of information from cooperative and noncooperative Air Domain surveillance sources to create a common understanding (picture) of the realtime situation for providing safety, security, and efficiency in the Aviation Transportation System [1]. Integrated surveillance includes the production, dissemination, and archiving of air vehicle position and movement information (longitude, latitude, altitude, ground speed, and ground track), as well as associating this air vehicle position and movement information with relevant flight information (flight plan, aircraft and aircrew information, etc.). Integrated surveillance also includes the sharing and collaborative use of this information by government command and control centers to conduct operations.
