Aviation Technology
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)
ADS-B is transforming all segments of aviation. Real-time precision, shared situational awareness, advanced applications for pilots and controllers alike, these are the hallmarks of ADS-B NextGen surveillance.
- Real-time ADS-B is used now for air traffic control
- General aviation is safer with ADS-B traffic, weather, and flight- information services
- Safety and efficiency improve with advanced ADS-B applications
ADS-B improves safety and efficiency in the air and on runways, reduces costs, and lessens harmful.
Air Traffic Control (ATC) Application
ADS-B is being used now to control air traffic across nations. Its real-time precision and new tools help controllers manage traffic for improved safety and capacity.
With ADS-B, ground stations are small and easily maintained, and can be placed in areas where radar was never possible. The Gulf of Mexico, for example, now has complete coverage with ADS-B installations on oil platforms and along the coast.ADS-B aircraft tracking is near instantaneous and transmitted to both pilots and controllers for shared situational awareness.ADS-B is also transmitted aircraft-to- aircraft, enabling air traffic control advances that will allow aircraft to maintain precise intervals in time and space.
The Aviation Division of National Dynamics DWC represents leading brands of ADS B system vendors and specialist system integration companies worldwide for applications in Asia and Africa.
