The use of multilateration techniques for airspace surveillance of aircraft is rapidly gaining momentum in Europe. The wide area multilateration system (WAM) installed in the Terminal Area of Innsbruck airport, Austria, has gone fully operational in November 2004. Eurocontrol has established a Taskforce on Multilateration issues and is currently adopting its surveillance strategy to account for the high potential of this surveillance technique as a substitute to secondary surveillance radar, since this technique is independent from airborne navigation systems. In EUROCAE, a working group has been installed for the development of minimum performance standards in analogy to the ED-117 ASMGCS standard. At ICAO level, the SASP group has started to look for an integration of wide area multilateration into operational documents, such as PANS-ATM and into documents dealing with separation of aircraft based on different surveillance techniques. This paper shows performance results of the operational WAM system in the Innsbruck region for ATC, it discusses the progress of standardisation efforts and it provides an outlook on future WAM activities in Europe.
