ICAO Work Program for SP(SP: Surveillance Panel)• The current A-SMGCS manual includes a lot of outdated information
related to airport surface surveillance systems• Providing incorrect information as ICAO guidance would generatepotential confusions for States• SP decided to update information related to surveillance systems
included in the A-SMGCS Manual3

How to Update for Doc 9830
• Doc 9830 was created in the early phase of the development andimplementation of A-SMGCS• As of today, A-SMGCS has been installed in airports around world• EURO SPEC-171 provides a new Specification for A-SMGCS Services• The SPEC-171 takes into account the experience gained from theSESAR project and the implementation of A-SMGCS basic functions(Surveillance, Runway Monitoring and Conflict Alerting) and includes
the new Services (Airport Safety Support, Routing and Guidance): The Single European Sky ATM Research4

How to Update for Doc 9830
• The end-state of this work is an update of Doc 9830 that willreflected the new SPEC-171• Technical Sub-group (TSG) of SP was tasked to update Doc 9830
 Step 1: Identification of Standards and representative installations
 Step 2: Identify information for update or removal
 Step 3: Restructure the Doc 9830
 Step 4: Development of a final report for SP panel• TSG provided an initial results of the Step 2 on June 20195

Purpose of the SPEC
• The purpose of this document is to provide an EUROCONTROL
Specification for A-SMGCS Services to support the implementationof an A-SMGCS in EURO states• The reference to ‘levels’ is no longer used and has been supersededby using ‘names’
Servicenames

From SPEC-171

Differences (Manual and SPEC)
Eurocontrol Definition (SPEC-171):• Level: no longer used and has been superseded by using ‘services’• services: Surveillance, Airport Safety Support, Routing, Guidance• services to “users”: controllers, pilot/driver, equipped mobiles• no association to airport size and complexity
EUROCONTROL held a workshop on A-SMGCS ROUTING on April 2019
• Service providers: DFS(Germany), ADP(France)• Manufactures: Thales, SAAB, LEONARDO• They provided experiences for A-SMGCS activities, as presentation

EUROCAE MASPS (ED-87)
EUROCAE is the European leader in the development of worldwide
recognized industry standards for aviation and develops standards
by industry/members for the industry needs
The ED-87 specifies system and equipment characteristics that should
be useful to designers, installers, manufacturers, service providers
and users of systems intended for operational use at aerodromes.
• ED-87C: for A-SMGCS Level 1 and 2 (2015)• ED-87D: for Airport Safety Support and Routing (July 2019)• ED-87E: for Guidance Service (Future)

EUROCAE MASPS (ED-87D)
ED-87D has been updated to include the newest services of A-SMGCS
and align the requirements to recently published EUROCONTROLAs compared with the previous version, the main changes are:• Addition of requirements for the Airport Safety Support Service• Addition of requirements for the Routing Service• Revision of the text to consolidate the requirements for A-SMGCS
with results of the SESAR research projects
