National Airspace System: Monitoring Operational concept NAS-SR-133

Abstract

A requirement for the National Airspace System (NAS) is to provide a variety of monitoring services to its users, as identified in the NAS System Requirement Specification, NAS-SR-1000. This document presents a concept of operations for monitoring. It describes monitoring capabilities and shows the relationships between subsystems, facilities, information, and operators/users. It is intended to provide a common perspective for personnel involved in monitoring services, assist in determining whether monitoring procedures meet formal requirements, and support coordination among the organizations involved. This concept, and the other seven operational concepts, will complete the description of the system requirements as described in the NASSRS. The eight operational concepts are: Communications (NAS-SR-136); Navigation (NAS-SR-134); Monitoring (NAS-SR-133); Maintenance and Support (NAS-SR-137); System Effectiveness (NAS-SR-138); Air Defense (NAS-SR-135); Flight Planning (NAS-SR- 131); and Traffic Control and Airspace Management (NAS-SR-132).
