This SES-related implementation objective is derived from Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 (as amended), laying down requirements on the systems contributing to the provision of surveillance data, their constituents and associated procedures in order to ensure the harmonisation of performance, the interoperability and the efficiency of these systems within the European air traffic management network (EATMN) and for the purpose of civil- military coordination (SPI-IR).

Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 (as amended) applies to the surveillance chain (as defined in Article 3(6) of the Regulation) constituted of:
(a) airborne surveillance systems, their constituents and associated procedures;
(b) ground-based surveillance systems, their constituents and associated procedures;
(c) surveillance data processing systems, their constituents and associated procedures;
(d) ground-to-ground communications systems used for distribution of surveillance data, their constituents and associated procedures.

Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 (as amended) applies to all flights operating as general air traffic in accordance with instrument flight rules within the airspace provided for in Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 551/2004 with the exception of Articles 7(3) and 7(4) which apply to all flights operating as general air traffic. This Regulation applies to air traffic service providers which provide air traffic control services based on surveillance data, and to communication, navigation or surveillance service providers which operate systems laid down in paragraph 1 of the Regulation itself.

Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 (as amended) should be read in conjunction with the existing locally published requirements that European States already have in force on the subject matter.

The timescales identified in the objective reflect the amendments published through the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2017/386 published in March 2017.

NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each military authority to review this Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SLoAs that the military authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SLoAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to military authorities.
