CRISTAL MED Phase 2 (January 2007 - February 2009)

Phase 2 of CRISTAL MED, developed from early 2007 to February 2009, is based on the results achieved in the first phase. The Service Providers in Portugal (NAV Portugal) and Turkey (DHMI) were associated with the project. The activities of this phase regarded the acquisition, installation and technical and pre-operational validation of the ADS-B technological infrastructures (1090 ES stations, telecommunications networks, surveillance trackers, Human Machine Interface and analysis instruments).

With regard to Italy, the two sites of Caraffa in Catanzaro and Alghero have been chosen to assess the RAD and NRA applications. From the technical point of view, the ADS-B reports have been collected and analysed in terms of availability, accuracy and reliability and compared with radar data, in order to determine whether the ADS-B information can be used in radar-like operational procedures.

The final aim of CRISTAL MED Phase 2 was to achieve "Readiness for Operational Approval " of the ADS-B applications selected, an objective full achieved.
