Uploaded by Aran

European Mode S Station Coverage Map Interface Control Document defines a common interface for importing Solution List Entries, covering coverage maps, Interrogator Code, and references to Radar Parameter Sets, for all European Mode S ground stations. The document specifies the data format and media used between the map tool (System Map Generator & System Map Extractor) and Mode S ground stations and associated tools. It supports geodesic maps divided into horizontal cells (~5 NM by 5 NM) with vertical extent, and defines how cluster state and map details are represented per solution list entry.
