  3. Iris Phases are aligned with SESAR schedule

  4. Objectives of Iris Phase 1 Emphasis on: • Preparation work to support the SESAR Master Plan • Initiate development of the communication standard • Initiate identification of the most efficient satcom system architecture • Consider non-technical issues from the start: • Business case • Service provision and governance model • ESA hand-over after development/deployment • Validation and qualification with SESAR • Support frequencies allocation • Contribute to estimations of spectrum requirements (e.g. ITU WP4C) Phase A activities timing is aligned with SESAR ATM Master Plan release

  5. Outcome of Iris Phase 1 studies Satellite Communication System studies Analysis & Design of Satellite System studies ICOS + Phoenix AVISAT+ Samara Iris Phase A studies 1Q08 to 3Q08 ...011010 1001010.. Com. System Satellite System Preliminary Design Specifications Avionics Preliminary Design Preliminary Design Specifications Service provision + Business case model • What is new/COTS? • Antennas: where? how many? • Target cost?... • Which type of architecture? • Dependability? • Target cost?... Outcome expected • Which types of protocols? • Are COCR performances achievable? • Link budget?... • Who operates what? • Who procures what? • Financing scheme?...

  6. Communication System Design activity The activity includes: • Trade-off of existing and possible new standards • Analysis and consolidation of user requirement as documented by SESAR • Communication architecture design • Interfaces with SESAR terrestrial network • Definition of aircraft avionics • Design of associated hardware and software, development, validation and qualification procedures. • Software simulator for validation • Preparation of ICAO standardisation and certification activities • Preparation of ICAO standard (technical basis to support update of performance-based SARPS and preparation of a Manual)

  7. Analysis and Definition of Satellite System The activity includes: • Analysis and consolidation of user requirements as documented by SESAR, and needs for possible ancillary services (to support business case) • All trade-offs on architecture, payload, platform, ground segment, deployment and operations schemes and provision of possible ancillary services, starting from existing/projected satcom infrastructure: Iris is NOT designing new satellites • Assessment of the business case for the provision of services • Preliminary analysis of integration of Satcom into SESAR’s overall infrastructure (SESAR task in the future). • Certification issues regarding the operators and operation of the satellite system • Definition of the operational responsibilities and liabilities in the service provision scheme. • Prepare all elements to define the satellite service provision

  8. Iris Programme: Participating States and users’ involvement Iris programme Phase 1 funding has been secured by 10 Participating States (among ESA 17 Member States) Austria France Germany Ireland Italy Norway Portugal Spain Switzerland UK Iris Expert Group: users’ voice in the Programme Core members: DSNA, DFS, NATS, LFV, Nav Portugal, Avinor, HCAA, Iberia, IATA, Eurocontrol, EASA + invitees on specific topics (e.g. SITA, ARINC, Business Airlines, Low Fare Airlines, Helicopter Association, Inmarsat...)

  9. Next steps • A dynamic has been created, fostering collaboration between industry, experts and R&D entities of both space and aeronautics background • Results of Phase A studies will be available from 3Q08 • The next milestone is ESA Ministerial Conference in November 2008 which will fund Phase 2 activities

  10. Conclusions • Following WG-T recommended actions, ESA is developing a set of technical options for a new Satcom open standard that will be proposed for discussion with international parties and brought to ICAO once the technical design is sufficiently mature • Definition of this new communication system starts from the aircraft avionics side (i.e. the cost multiplier) rather than from the satellite side. • An effort is being made to minimise the operational and equipment costs, and especially to make sure that the equipment can be supplied and operated worldwide. • ESA mandate is to support the adoption of new satellite solutions where justified for the benefit of society. ‘Justified’ means a solid cost/benefits case, not technology for the sake of technology. The Iris programme is not about developing new satellites. • Through cooperation with Eurocontrol and SESAR, ESA will aim to obtain wide international support for standardisation of this new satellite communication system.
