The concept and advantages of integrating ADS data with SSR data with the purpose of enhancing the surveillance function, increasing the level of surveillance availability and monitoring the integrity of the aircraft navigation system, was presented by Spain (WP/36) to the FANS (Phase II) Committee at its second meeting held in Montreal in 1991. The idea was backed up by some other countries and the Committee agreed to include ADS-SSR integration in the list of tasks which needed to be undertaken to support the implementation of the future air navigation system (FANS) concept, today known as the ICAO communications, navigation and surveillance and air traffic management (CNS/ATM) systems concept.

Spanish Airports and Air Navigation (AENA) as a continuation to the initial work (WP/36) presented to the FANS (Phase II) Second Meeting, decided to carry out a detailed study on ADS/SSR integration

Various references to ADS/SSR data integration exist in the FANS (II)/4 Report (ICAO Doc 9623), where one also can find in Appendix A of Item4, the “list of tasks” mentioned previously. In the Report concerning Ítem 5 of the Agenda, paragraph 5.8.3, one can read: “the development of SSR and ADS tracking algorithms allowing the integration and simultaneous presentation of SSR and ADS data could lead to further CNS/ATM systems benefits”

Attached an article published at the “ATC Magazine” in April 1996, giving details about the “ADS-SSR Integration Study” that D. Diez directed for Aena.
Attached bellow the Cover of the ADS-SSR Integration Study that D.Diez directed for Aena and in which Aena, CESELSA (current INDRA) and the Polytechnic University of Madrid participated.

D. Diez gave presentations on ADS-SSR integration at the following ICAO CNS/ATM seminars:
Casablanca, Morocco, 26 – 29 October 1993
Lima, Peru, 13 – 17 June 1994
Santiago, Chile, 11 – 15 December 1995
San Jose dos Campos, Brazil, 28 October – 1 November 1996
Sal Island, Cape Verde, 25 – 27 March 1998
Bogota, Colombia, 10-14 September 2001
The seminar was attended by more than 200 participants mainly from the CAR/SAM Region
