Automatic - No interrogation
Dependent - $Billions for TIS ground equipment
Surveillance - See aircraft around yours
Broadcast - "collapsible" data network protocol
Link & display processor box ~ 4" x 8" x 11" @ 4 pounds +
Display (CDTI) panel mount +
GPS panel mount + present price ~$300,000
Transponder (you probably have a P4 AD in your future) additional cost
2 velocity + tail number packets/second
2 position + tail number packets/second
1 identity + tail number packet /second
1 intentions + tail number packet /5seconds 5.2 packets/second
Minimum mode (no TIS)
NAS capacity ~300 aircraft within ~80 nautical miles Mitre analysis
ATCRBS compatibility issue (TIS 300 ATCRBS 250 ADS-B) 75,000 added packets
(assume 1 packet warn)
Design Objective:
Just only three airports in one valley, doing 175 landings/hr peak at
the busiest, in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere,
between those aircraft that can afford the equipment.
Automatic - No interrogation
Independent - No ground equipment & no operators & no FAA
Surveillance - See aircraft around yours
Packet - "collapsible" data network but 100x to 1000x NAS capacity
ATCRBS transponder mod (FAA AD compliance) probable price ~$ 500
That is all you need to be 1090 mode S compatible & AIS-P visible
If you want a traffic advisory in your cockpit
Traffic informer (AIS-P prox detector) probable price ~$ 2,500
1 (velocity + position - tail number) packet/second 1.0 packets/second
NAS capacity (AIS-P = ?x ADS-B) min x100 of ADS-B
ATCRBS compatibility issue (TIS 300 ATCRBS 250 AIS-P) 300 added packets
Design Objective:
all airspace, including doing 175 landings/hr peak at the busiest,
all of the time, all aircraft.
Same
Same conflict detection at same greater range
Same collision avoidance at same ground up
Same extension of separation assurance
Same collision avoidance possibility for GA
Same enable means to prevent runway incursions
Same every collision avoidance objective to acceptable limits
Difference - what Peshak threw out of ADS-B to get to AIS-P
- weather (use your radar, storm scope, satellite internet pager)
- parallel ILS (use your localizer and glide slope)
- ability for UPS to know where all its planes are
- squawk tail number
- all of the ancillary packets (put all information needed in one)
Difference + what Peshak added to AIS-P that ADS-B cannot do
+ 100x NAS capacity (allows more airplanes before link failure)
+ target equipage for free
+ 20% of full up cost (~$2.5k vs $12.5k (target) for advisory)
+ single panel mount box (got rid of 4"x8"x11" 4 pound box)
What is needed to complete AIS-P releasable hardware now
Mode S Downlink Format Number (DF#)
to be assigned by ICAO (John Mark Loscos 514-954-6713)
32 packets possible, several remain undefined & un-used
for packet definition published at:
http://www.gtwn.net/~keith.peshak/Keith_ais.htm
to allow compatibility with all mode S equipments
no interference to any existing or envisioned equipments
