On January 14th, 2017, the first SpaceX rocket launch of 10 of Iridium NEXT's satellites generated an exciting milestone towards the global coverage of Aireon's space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) system [1]. ADS-B is a cornerstone technology for the aviation industry that enables significant improvements in aircraft based travel efficiency and safety. Aireon's hosted payload...
Global, continuous, low-latency, and high performance surveillance of aircraft via Space-Based ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) is an emerging technology for the aviation industry. The Iridium-NEXT Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, which will host the Aireon ADS-B receiver payloads, will begin launching in 2015 with all 66 operational satellites in their mission orbit by 2017, gradually...
ITT Exelis has built and operates the Surveillance Broadcast Services (SBS) system to provide the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) target data in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS). The system requirements for significant coverage at low altitudes demands a dense laydown of radio stations such that at moderate and high altitudes there...
Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) is being considered as one of the primary backup sources of air traffic surveillance to Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) in the National Airspace System (NAS). Radar is currently the primary source of air traffic surveillance, with ADS-B poised to succeed radar leading into the FAA ADS-B Out mandate in 2020. WAM service could serve as both a transition...
