9 Cooperation between AFRICA and TAS Page 9 EGNOS Applications Development METIS : project in progress Aeronautical Communications Systems Space and Ground Segment : NAVISAT ; Preliminary studies 2004 and 2005 Navigation Infrastructure Systems Space Segment : NAVISAT ; Preliminary studies 2004 and 2005 Ground Segment : AFSAGA ; project closed in

10 METIS Page 10 MEDA area: 10 countries in the Mediterranean basin METIS: July December 2009 Funded by EC and managed by GSA EU-MEDA team of private/public organizations Main stakeholders from the 10 MEDA countries METIS goal: to prepare the GNSS services introduction in MEDA A. GNSS Regional Plan B.Awareness & Training C.Real-life demos 10

11 AFSAGA AFrican SAtellite communication & Galileo Applications SADC area: 14 countries Feb Feb 2008 Funded by EC and managed by Thales Alenia Space EU-South Africa team: Thales Alenia Space + CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research) Page 11 AFSAGA goal: develop awareness of satnav and satcom technologies and their potential use in Southern Africa A.Dissemination workshop in Pretoria 4To improve the awareness of satellite systems available in the region and discuss specific needs among potential users in SADC B.User needs identification 4Identification of several far-reaching possible applications and benefits of satellite navigation C.Results presentation workshop in Pretoria 11

12 NAVISAT 12 TAS contributed in the early phases of NAVISAT Technical/ Economical feasibility study for MEA region Feb Dec 2005 Funded by a French government loan and managed by Thales Alenia Space NAVISAT Middle East and Africa sponsored by Egyptian Civil Aviation NAVISAT goal: Safety Aeronautical Communications and Navigation satellite system for AFRICA and MIDDLE EAST From Page 12 Through TAS experience in the Japanese satellite-based Aero Com and Navigation system MTSAT, TAS realized a Technical/ Economical feasibility study ( ) Study monitored by a Steering Committee composed of DGAC, AVIT (Egypt), ACAC, ASECNA, ATNS,ICAO regional office Analysis of existing infrastructure and forecasts Collection of communication needs System Architecture definition Economic analysis Incorporation of NAVISAT Middle East and Africa company in Oct Since September 2008, NAVISAT aims to develop a roadmap based on a regional approach and user requirements

13 NAVISAT is of a key importance for next generation ATM in Africa & Middle East Page 13 NEXTGEN + WAAS SESAR/IRIS % EGNOS + 137% + 165% + 197% + 309% SGB + 192% NAVISAT MTSAT Billion RPK in % 25% of European traffic 9% of worldwide air traffic < 1,000 1,000 to 2, % 2,000 to 3,000 > 3,000 Source : Sesar D1 deliverable, July 2006 Sustained air traffic growth will require new ATM solutions in each major region by 2025 due to an overall traffic capacity, increase safety, reduce environment impact and cost. 13

14 NAVISAT, a Modern and Global infrastructure for Aeronautical communications and Navigation over Africa and Middle East Page 14 Aim to be the vehicle to perform a wide range of Communications and Navigation services for the Aeronautical Market Mobile Aeronautical Communications (voice and data) between pilots, air traffic controllers and airlines Satellite Navigation Augmentation : Communication links between ground navigation system facilities (VSAT) and Broadcast of GNSS augmentation signal Fixed Aeronautical Communication (voice and data) : Communication links between ground ATM facilities via satellite (VSAT) 14

15 NAVISAT High Level Strategic Objectives Page 15 To allow Major Improvements in CNS/ATM services, and to contribute to improving the safety and efficiency of air transport for the benefit of all players As a secondary mission, the system shall support other Aviation, Maritime and Land Based Complementary Services To be the preferred provider in terms of Quality of Service & Cost- Effectiveness from both the system operator and the users viewpoints To complement existing terrestrial infrastructures with global coverage Large gaps of ATM infrastructure in most part of the AFI region To cover a large region (AFI/MID), while being Interoperable with systems from other regions Satellite system allows interoperability with other regions (Europe, Asia, Latin America, USA,.) 15
