SBIS RFI-2: Transition

An SBIS transition may be complex.

Implementation considerations have been provided in Attachment 10.

Seeking industry feedback on:

• A transition approach and timeline for your implementation strategy

• Major assumptions and constraints

• An approach to de-conflict undue frequency interference (1030, 1090 and 978MHz) and account for coordination of the UAT channel management of the ground segment time slots between the operational SBS system and the new SBIS system

• Transition risks and mitigation opportunities

• Technical suggestions for transition risk mitigation which could be implemented prior to SBIS contract award, should a transition be required

National Institute of Standards and

Technology (NIST) or United States Naval

Observatory (USNO) traceable source provided by resilient FAA enterprise timing systems and/or services

Surveillance Broadcast and Information

SBIS RFI-2: Enhancements Reduced 3NM Separation throughout En Route Airspace

Efficiency benefits can be obtained by expanding the airspace where ADS-B can be used for 3NM separation to all en route airspace, including that above Flight Level 230.

• Requires changes in performance requirements for en route service volumes to provide ADS-B updates at 3 seconds (95%) or better in all 1090 MHz interference environments.

• Position validation capabilities will be required to utilize thresholds applicable for 3NM airspace.

• Conflict alert and conflict probe thresholds for FAA Automation Systems will need to be adjusted to support reducing separation in the airspace above Flight Level 230.

20Surveillance Broadcast and Information

SBIS RFI-2: Enhancements Information Systems Security

• SBS/SBIS is a FIPS-199 “High” security categorized system

– Subject to all governmental reporting requirements

– Infrastructure migration for predominately Internet Protocol (IP)-based capabilities and transport

(versus legacy Time Division

Multiplexing)

– Resiliency requirements include mitigation of GPS and ADS-B jamming

/ spoofing threats, cyber resiliency / operational redundancy

– Integration with NAS Cyber

Operations

Challenges

• Platform availability and longevity

– Affected by oil prices

• Restricted access (helicopters, boats)

– No scheduled transportation methods available to

FAA and FAA contractors

• Environmental impacts on equipment

– Tropical storms, hurricanes, high temperatures, high humidity, and saltwater have a heavy impact on equipment

• Space limitations on platforms

– Unobstructed line of site is challenging and may require costly platform modifications

• Reliance on platform telecom

– Not designed to meet FAA reliability requirements

Southern California TRACON (SCT)

• Terminal (both ADS-B and WAM)

• Three underlying surface ADS-B volumes (LAX, SAN, SNA) were also included

• They fall within SCT, and their infrastructure would likely contribute to the terminal ADS-B and WAM SVs

– ADS-B and associated ADS-B In services are intended to meet the current coverage provided to ATC and aircraft operators

– WAM coverage will be to the published MVAs – 300 feet

– It should be assumed that the overlying en route SV will have a ceiling of 1,051,500 feet (173 NM)
