Air Traffic Control Surveillance Radar Sensors. Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR). Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum. Part 2: Far Field Monitor (FFM)

This standard establishes a comprehensive framework for the coordination of radio spectrum access regarding secondary surveillance radar systems employed in air traffic control and airspace surveillance. Specifically focusing on the remote monitoring functionality, it outlines technical requirements and operational procedures to ensure seamless integration within the broader aviation infrastructure. The document addresses critical aspects of signal integrity, data exchange protocols, and compatibility measures necessary for maintaining high levels of safety and efficiency in modern airspace management. By defining precise parameters for sensor performance and system interoperability, this normative text supports the effective deployment of advanced radar technologies across diverse operational environments. It serves as a reference for manufacturers, system integrators, and regulatory bodies involved in the design, implementation, and maintenance of remote monitoring solutions for secondary surveillance radar equipment. The provisions contained herein facilitate the harmonization of technical specifications, thereby promoting reliable communication links and reducing potential interference issues within the designated frequency bands allocated for air traffic control applications.
