DABS Sensor Interactions with ATC Facilities.
Abstract
This document presents, on a functional level, the interactions that occur between a DABS sensor and an ATC facility (terminal or enroute) in order to make full use of the capabilities provided by the addition of DABS sensors to the ATC system. There are three functions of the interactions: (1) handle surveillance reports from the DABS site, (2) handle the two-way digital communications messages between pilots and controllers, and (3) handle a variety of control data messages between the two sites. For each kind of interaction, the actions taken by the DABS sensor are summarized, the messages involved in the transaction are defined, and suggestions are made concerning possible appropriate actions by the ATC facility. The latter include message generation and display, data processing, and controller and system manager activities. (Author)
