GUIDANCE MATERIAL ON

GENERATION, PROCESSING & SHARING of ASTERIX

CATEGORY 21 ADS-B MESSAGES

(Including Attachments A, B, C & D)

1.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 The “All Purpose Structured Eurocontrol Surveillance Information Exchange”

(ASTERIX) Category 21 is a data format standard globally accepted by the Air Traffic Management

(ATM) system manufacturing industry for sharing of ADS-B data with ATM automation system.

Asterix Category 21 data is used to convey ADS-B data from ADS-B ground stations to ATC

processing and display system. This guidance material discusses various aspects of this process.

Since the ASTERIX Category 21 version 0.23 was issued in November 2003, it has undergone

continuous revisions with some 14 subsequent versions. The focus of this guidance material is to

concentrate on 1090ES ADS-B data using:

a) DO260;

b) DO260A; and

c) DO260B

1.2 The ASTERIX Category 21 version 1.0 issued in August 2008 has fully incorporated

the DO260A standard while the latest version 2.1 issued in May 2011 has fully incorporated the latest

DO260B standard.

2.

ASTERIX CAT 21 IN ASIA AND PACIFIC REGIONS

2.1 To ensure interoperability of ADS-B ground stations in the Asia Pacific (ASIA/PAC)

Regions, during the 16th APANPIRG Meeting held in August 2005, the ASTERIX Category 21 version

0.23 which had incorporated DO260 standard was adopted as the baselined ADS-B data format for

deployment of ADS-B ground stations and sharing of ADS-B data in the ASIA/PAC Regions. At this

time DO260A and DO260B standards were not defined.

3.

CHOICE OF ASTERIX VERSION NUMBER

3.1 The Asterix standard has been developed over many years. Stability in the standard is

desirable so that ADS-B ground station designers and ATM automation designers and manufacturers

can build interoperable systems with confidence. Because ADS-B technology has been evolving over

the years, and will continue to do so, it is not surprising that the Asterix standard has also developed

along with the ADS-B link technology standards to grasp the best benefits of its intended design.

3.4H - 1

APANPIRG/23

Appendix H to the Report on Agenda Item 3.4

3.2 During 2005, Asia Pacific decided to use V0.23 as the version for sharing ADS-B data

between states. This version provides adequate information so that useful ATC operational services can

be provided including ATC 3 nautical mile and 5 nautical mile separation services. V0.23 can be used

with DO260, DO260A and DO260B ADS-B avionics/ground stations to provide basic ATC operational

services. However, V0.23 cannot fully support all the capabilities offered by DO260A and DO260B.

3.3 Nearly all V0.23 data items can be “re-constructed” from a received V2.1 data stream.

However, most of the special DO260A/B data items cannot be “re-constructed” from a V0.23 data

stream. In terms of domestic use and data sharing with other ANSPs concerning ADS-B data,

several options exist for ANSPs as follows:

Option Domestic use

1

2

V0.23

V2.1

Data sharing

V0.23. This is the default and basic standard.

V0.23. This will require some conversions to occur, probably

through an ADS-B format conversion and filter system (see

Paragraph 11), between a domestic system and a foreign system.

Difficulties may exist if the domestic system requires special

DO260A/B data items, since they cannot all be re-constructed from

the external foreign V0.23 data stream.

3 V2.1 V2.1. Must negotiate bilaterally with data sharing partner regarding

exact version to be used to achieve the intended functions.

Note: In this table, V2.1, the latest Asterix Cat 21 version, is chosen as a representation of an Asterix

Cat 21 version after V0.23. There exists other Asterix CAT 21 versions (e.g. 0.26, 1.3. and etc.) after

V0.23 that could be used by ANSPs for domestic and data sharing use.

4.

SPECIFICATION OF ASTERIX MESSAGE PROCESSING

4.1 Care is needed to understand the difference in specifications :

4.2 Asterix Cat 21: Defines the characteristics of the data ON the interface including

fields that are mandatory on the interface.

4.3 ADS-B ground station specifications: To define the Asterix standard, must also

define which optional Asterix data items are required to be delivered on the Asterix interface, when

the appropriate data is received from the aircraft. It is desirable that suppliers be required to :

3.4H - 2

a)

b)

APANPIRG/23

Appendix H to the Report on Agenda Item 3.4

indicate how the ground station processes and outputs every received DO260,

DO260A and DO260B data element into an Asterix data element/field; and

indicate which and how each Asterix data element and field presented at the

output are populated.

4.4 ATM automation system specifications: Defines which received Asterix data

element and fields are processed and how they are processed. Also defines which Asterix optional

data fields are required by the ATM automation systems (if any). ANSPs that specify ADS-B ground

stations and ATM automation systems need to consider carefully and clearly about what they desire to

achieve. Specifications which simply require compliance with a particular Asterix standard will be

inadequate in most circumstances. In particular ANSPs, together with their suppliers should :

a) Specify the Asterix standard version to be used. This defines the message

formats that are placed on the link between ADS-B ground station and

downstream systems like ATM automation, recording & analysis systems,

bypass ATC systems and foreign ANSPs. The standard will define which

messages elements are mandatory in each message (very few fields) and a

large number of optional fields. The optional fields can only be filled if

relevant data is received from the aircraft. The optional fields will only be

filled if the ground station specification requires them to be filled.

b) Specify the ADS-B ground station behaviour so that when data is received

from the aircraft, the ground station is required to fill appropriate optional

Asterix data fields.

c) Specify the ATM automation system behaviour including appropriate

semantic and syntax checks applied to the Asterix data, including any triggers

for the system to discard data. The processing applied to each received

Asterix data field.

5.

MANDATORY FIELDS : ASTERIX AND 1090ES ADS-B

5.1 Asterix Cat 21 has been designed to support multiple datalinks. It has been defined to

support data fields which are not available in the 1090ES standards. Therefore some data items and

fields are not relevant when 1090ES is used.

5.2 The standard itself defines various items as optional or mandatory. This is defining

what is ON the interface. It does NOT specify the behaviour of the transmitting ground station nor the

behaviour of the receiving ATM automation system.

3.4H - 3

APANPIRG/23

Appendix H to the Report on Agenda Item 3.4

5.3 When a single link technology has been chosen it may be sensible to diverge from the

formal V0.23 standard to reduce the required Asterix datalink bandwidth. E.g.: in an environment with

only 1090ES, it is unnecessary to transmit “Link Technology Indicator”. Asterix Cat 21 Version 2.1

allows this selection.

GENERATION OF ASTERIX AT AN ADS-B GROUND STATION

6.1

The following general principles should be adopted:

6.2 Commensurate with link bandwidth availability transmit all mandatory Asterix data

items and also transmit those Asterix data items that are operationally desirable. That is, when the

appropriate aircraft transmission is received by the ADS-B ground station, the data should be

transmitted to the ATC system for operational use or for technical recording and analysis use. If no

aircraft transmission data is received to fill an Asterix data item during any update cycle, the data item

should not be included in the Asterix data stream to reduce bandwidth requirements.

6.3 Group 1 (Mandatory Data Items): An Asterix Cat21 message should not be

transmitted unless the mandatory data items defined in Appendix A are all present.

6.4 Group 2 (Desirable Data Items) : The data items defined in Appendix B are

operationally desirable which should always be transmitted in the Asterix Cat 21 messages whenever

the data are received by the 1090ES ground station from aircraft (if allowed by the relevant Asterix

standard chosen).

6.5 Group 3 (Optional Data Items) : The data items defined in Appendix C are

considered optional and may or may not need to be transmitted depending on availability of such data

from aircraft and/or other specific operational needs.

3.4H - 4

APANPIRG/23

Appendix H to the Report on Agenda Item 3.4

6.6. Group 4 (Future Data Items): The following data are defined in the DO260A and

DO260B standards but are not yet defined in the Asterix standard. This group is provided for

information only. It illustrates the need for system designers to provide for future adaptability when

possible and when cost effective to do so. Not only will the Asterix standard continue to evolve, but

changes to DO260 can also be anticipated within the decade.

a) Target heading: Information from DO260A/B Target state and status

messages (On condition messages). These could be used for detection of pilot

errors in selection of heading/altitude; and

b) GPS Offset: Could be used to more accurately display aircraft position on an

airport surface, or better detect that an aircraft has passed an airport hold

point.

6.7 When developing a specification for an ADS-B ground station, it is considered

necessary that the specification requires the transmission of all data items that are operationally

desirable (Group 2), when such data are received from the aircraft, in addition to the data items that

are mandatory (Group 1) in Asterix messages. Whether Group 3 optional data items will need to be

transmitted or not should be configurable on item-by-item basis within the ADS-B ground station

depending on specific operational needs.

PROCESSING OF ASTERIX ADS-B DATA AT ATC SYSTEM

7.

7.1 An Asterix Cat21 message should not be accepted by the ATC system for processing

unless it includes at least all the Group 1 data items.

7.2

The ATC system should process all received Asterix Cat21 message data items that

bring operational benefits (i.e. Group 2 data items). An ATM automation specification should require

that the system appropriately process those Group 2 data items depending on specific operational need.

Whether the ATC system will process Group 3 optional data items will depend on specific operational

needs.

8.

DATA SHARING OF ASTERIX ADS-B DATA

8.1 In principle, all data receiving from the shared ADS-B ground station should be delivered to

the receiving party as far as practicable without filtering unless owing to technical reasons such as the

need to convert the data from one ASTERIX format to another or it is requested by the receiving party

of the data.

3.4H - 5

APANPIRG/23

Appendix H to the Report on Agenda Item 3.4

8.2 It is considered necessary that all data items that are mandatory in Asterix messages (i.e.

Group 1 data items) and operationally desirable (i.e. Group 2 data items) when such data are received

from aircraft, should be included in data sharing. In the event that the data have to be filtered, the list of

optional data items (i.e. Group 3 data items) needs to be shared will be subject to mutual agreement

between the two data sharing parties concerned.

9.1

ISSUE RELATED TO DO260A

Support of DO260A using Asterix Cat 21 V0.23

a) DO260A was developed after V0.23 of Asterix was defined. Therefore,

V0.23 does not directly support DO260A. However, ground station software

can generate useful V0.23 Asterix data from DO260A reports through use of

the following techniques;

A useful I021/090 Figure of Merit can be generated from DO260A messages.

Some implementations have a table, which defines the FOM/PA to be

generated for each combination of SIL, NIC and NAC. The contents of the

table can be offline defined to generate the appropriate FOM/PA values. The

downstream ATC system can then process DO260A reports as if they were

DO260 reports; and

If there is a particular need for the ATC system to have access to the

NIC/NAC or SIL or other data item that exist in DO260A (but not in DO260),

then users may need to consider a more recent version of Cat 21.

b)

c)

9.2

Support of DO260A using Asterix Cat 21 V2.1

a)

b)

If DO260A is used, then the ANSP could decide to use Asterix Cat 21 V1.0

(or later versions) or V2.1; and

Readers are invited to carefully examine the DO260A fields (see Appendix D)

to determine if the benefits of additional DO260A fields are large enough to

warrant adoption of Asterix Cat 21 V1.0 (or later versions) or V2.1.

10.

10.1

ISSUE RELATED TO DO260B

Support of DO260B using Asterix Cat 21 V0.23

a)

3.4H - 6

DO260B was developed some years after DO260A. Therefore, Asterix Cat

21, V0.23 does not directly support DO260B;

b)

APANPIRG/23

Appendix H to the Report on Agenda Item 3.4

The same techniques used for processing DO260A can be used for processing

DO260B, however, the table used must account for NIC supplement B &

NIC supplement C; and

If there is a particular need for the ATC system to have access to the new data

items offered by DO260B, then users may need to consider a more recent

version of Cat 21 (e.g. V2.1).

c)

10.2

Support of DO260B using Asterix Cat 21 V2.1

a)

b)

If DO260B is used, then the ANSP could decide to use Asterix Cat 21 V2.1;

and

Readers are invited to carefully examine the DO260B data items (see

Appendix D) to determine if the benefits of additional DO260B data items

are large enough to warrant adoption of Asterix Cat 21 Version 2.1.

11.

ADS-B FORMAT CONVERSION AND FILTER SYSTEM

11.1 It is clear that the evolution of 1090ES ADS-B transmission will continue. Avionics

software will be upgraded to provide additional or changed functionality. As a result Asterix standards

will also continue to evolve, and ATC systems will need to be adaptable to be able to cope with new

functionality requirements and new message standards.

11.2 The use of an ADS-B format conversion & filter (ADS-B FC&F) system between

domestic ADS-B systems and data shared with other states is a cost-effective way to provide the

necessary protection and flexibility in this evolution. Such a system provides ADS-B format

conversion between domestic and foreign ADS-B systems. While decoupling one ADS-B Asterix

environment from another, the system allows information that meets specific sharing criteria to be

passed through for data sharing. By doing so, loading on the ATM automation systems to process

ADS-B data and bandwidth requires to transmit the ADS-B data could then be reduced. The system

also allows independent domestic format changes without disruption to the foreign environment. A

typical structure could be as shown below:

The target status allows the controller to know

the mode that the aircraft is in. i.e.: It could be

presented to ATC.

know the advisories that are provided to the

pilots by the ACAS. This helps prevent the

controller from giving instructions that are in

conflict with the ACAS.
