Abstract

Projected requirements for automatic dependent surveillance (ADS) include the downlinking of certain aircraft flight parameters periodically and upon command from the ground. This will require a primary source of the data such as a flight management system (FMS) and, of course, a radio datalink. This paper provides a description of an existing system that could fulfil much of the interim airborne ADS equipment requirements by using GPS/OMEGA/INS/ACARS for existing aircraft which are not equipped with, or envisioned to be equipped with, SATCOM, FMS or IRS.
