The world's largest trial of satellite based Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) in the ICAO Aeronautical Telecommunications Network standard environment is being executed in Europe. A Consortium, led by the United Kingdom's National Air Traffic Services, and known as ADS Europe, is currently researching and developing ADS. The research results from a 2 million ECU (2.6 million US $) contract from the European Commission, through its Telematics Applications Program. ADS Europe equipment was fitted into twelve long haul aircraft, operated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa German Airlines and Air France, and NLR's Cessna Citation research aircraft. NLR's research aircraft performed dedicated flights to investigate specific issues which cannot be undertaken by passenger aircraft in regular commercial service. In this paper the ADS concept is given. The ADS Europe program is described, related programs are summarized. Details of the ADS equipment installation in NLR's research aircraft are given. ADS Europe Flight tests started early 1996 and will run till the end of preliminary technical results are mentioned.
