GICB GENERAL
GICB (Ground Intiated Comm B) is a protocol

u s e d b y M o d e S g r o u n d s t a t i o n s t o e xt r a c t
DAPs (Downlinked Aircraft Parameters) from
Mode S transponder equipped aircraft.
DAPs are utilized by Air Traffic Control
equipment, to provide the air traffic controller
wi t h a c c u r a t e a n d p r e d i c t i v e t r a c k s i . e .
anticipated altitude changes. DAPS are
obtained from various sub-systems via a
separate or transponder integral ADLP (Air
Data Link Processor). DAPs are stored in
the transponder BDS (B-Definition Subfield)

position transponder >50 ft (15.24 m) from
the Directional Antenna. Position Directional
Antenna 20 ft (6.1 m) from UUT Antenna

antenna(s) look similar.
Position Directional Antenna in direct sight of
UUT antenna, avoiding close obstructions

etc.), to minimize multipath reflections which
cause random test failures. Usual distance

NOTE: Directional Antenna should not be
positioned closer than 6 feet, to
ensure that the antenna far field is
tested
Avoid close obstructions (such as gantries,

1. O P E R AT ING G O AL S
Mode S combines secondary surveillance radar
and a ground-air-ground data link system to
p r o vi d e a i r c r a f t s u r v e i l l a n c e a n d
communications necessary for supporting
automated ATC in dense traffic environments.
Mode S provides common-channel

and may be implemented over an extended

the reliable communications necessary for
data link services.
2. M O DE S M E S S AG E C O NT ENT
2.1 ADDRESS/PARITY (FIELD AP)
All discrete Mode S interrogations (56-bit or
112-bit) and replies (except the All Call reply)
contain the 24-bit discrete address of the
M o d e S t r a n s p o n d e r u p o n wh i c h 2 4 e r r o rdetecting parity check bits are overlaid. In the
All Call reply, the 24 parity check bits are

s u r ve i l l a n c e . F o r t h e M o d e S t r a n s p o n d e r , t h i s
function is accomplished by using short (56bit) transmissions in both directions. In these
transmissions, the aircraft reports altitude
( D F 0 4 ) o r A T C R B S 4 0 9 6 c o d e a s we l l a s f l i g h t
status (airborne, on the ground, alert, Special
Position Identification [SPI], etc.).
2 . 3 D AT A L I N K C O M M U N I C A T I O N S
Th e d i s c r e t e a d d r e s s i n g a n d d i g i t a l e n c o d i n g
allow Mode S transmissions to be used as
digital data links. Interrogation and reply
formats of the Mode S system contain
sufficient coding space to transmit data. Most
Mode S data link transmissions are handled as
one 56-bit message included as part of long
1 1 2 - b i t i n t e r r o g a t i o n s o r r e p l i e s . Th e
transmissions include the message in addition
to surveillance data, and is generally used in
place of a surveillance interrogation and/or
reply.
An efficient transmission of longer messages
is accomplished by the extended length
message (ELM) capability (UF24 and DF24).
Using this capability, a sequence of up to
s i xt e e n 8 0 - b i t m e s s a g e s e g m e n t s ( e a c h wi t h a
112-bit transmission) is transmitted, either
ground-to-air or air-to-ground and is
a c k n o wl e d g e d wi t h a s i n g l e r e p l y / i n t e r r o g a t i o n .
E L Ms d o n o t c o n t a i n s u r v e i l l a n c e d a t a a n d

interrogation-reply cycle.
