This is a VERIF course, based on the latest SASS-C version. Surveillance Analysis Support System for Centre (SASS-C) is a LINUX-based software product developed by EUROCONTROL to enable the performance of the various elements of the surveillance chain to be measured, particularly those supporting air traffic services in en-route airspace. SASS-C offers a way to evaluate the performance of the surveillance infrastructure, at either sensor or tracker level. As such, the tool plays a key role in evaluations in support of related SES regulations.
This introductory course provides general knowledge and the basic skills related to the SASS-C tool. Course participants will gain an overview of the uses and benefits of performing plot and track analysis.
The course is designed to teach skills in the use of SASS-C, and utilises both theoretical and practical training sessions. Practical training sessions use an individual PC running the latest SASS-C version. A standard dataset is available for practical training sessions, but participants are welcome to bring their own dataset with them.
The course also provides an overview of the current use of the SASS-C tool and its likely future role within the Single European Sky context.
