Introduction

• Characteristics of air operations
• Airspace
• Time
• Air assets
• Rules of the Air
• Controlling agency

5
Airspace Used for Military Air Operations

• Airspace reservation

6
Airspace Used for Military Air Operations

• Airspace reservation
• Tactical co-ordination

7
Airspace Used for Military Air Operations

• Airspace reservation
• Tactical co-ordination
• Traffic integration

8
Time

• Planned in advance

• Air exercises
• Training
• Others

• AD Scramble
• SAR
• Special Operations

• On Short notice

9
Air Assets

• Fighters

10
Air Assets

• Fighters

• Heavy type
• transport
• RECCE, AEW
• Tankers

11
Air Assets

• Fighters
• Heavy type
• Transport
• RECCE, AEW
• Tankers

• Helicopters

12
Rules of the Air

• Different from ICAO. Rules promulgated nationally

• OAT

• GAT

Conformance with ICAO rules. Exemptions for some
categories of airspace
13
Controlling Agency

• Separate national civil and military ATS

OAT-military GAT-civil

• Different levels of co-ordination and
  responsibility for separation OAT/GAT

• Real-time Civil/Military Co-ordination
• Co-located or side-by-side ATS

Single ATC

• Fully integrated Civil/Military ATS

14
Navigation Systems

• Airborne equipment
• TACAN, VOR/DME, ADF
• GPS
• INS (IRS)
• Tactical Air Navigation System (FMS alike)

• Ground/Space
• TACAN, VOR/DME, NDB beacons
• GPS Satellites

16
Air Traffic Control

• Types of air missions

• Airlift
• Transit
• Special

• Handling Required GAT vs OAT

• Normal handling if compliant
• Special handling in case of STS/NONRNAV
  (negative RNAV)
• Use of conventional ATS routes
• Via VOR/DME navaids
• Radar vectors
• Terminal airspace more challenging

17
Airspace Management

• AMCs allocate required airspace for military use
• AUP provides routing options to accommodate TSAs
• Tactical co-ordination improved to release
  airspace

• FUA application

• Air Defence needs

• improvement of data exchange
• RNAV environment requires an enhanced database

19
Aircraft Equipage

• Equipment performances and limitations

• Technical (airframe, compatibility with other
  systems)
• Operational (pilot workload)

• Navigation Databases

• Availability
• Accuracy, integrity

• Certification issues

• Acceptable means of compliance

20
Aircrew / ATC Controllers Training

• Flightdeck Procedures

• emergencies
• contingencies - reversionary NAV modes
• R/T

• ATC controllers

• New procedures for separation, sequencing
• Accommodate mixed traffic
• Reversion to conventional NAV
• R/T
• Legal issues

21
Cost Issues

• New equipment
• Airframe retrofit
• Certification

• Investment costs

• Operation costs

• Training
• Systems maintenance
• Database maintenance

• Transition costs

• RNAV compliance
• Conclusions

23
Conclusions

• RNAV considered as beneficial for military
• FUA support must become more effective
• Plan for transition needed
• Safety issues
• Associated costs and military involvement in CBA
• ATM 2000 strategy supporting the continued
  operations of State aircraft
