THE POSITION OF AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE AIRCRAFT – ADS-B

Abstract

The article deal with a new system Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS-B), which is currently implemented in real practice air traffic control. Description of the system is in terms of principle of action, application mode S and current status of its use in practice. The aspect of perspective of development regards about the third generation system, which allows tracking and recording the flight path of the aircrafts. Available information at websites was analysed in the work. The described new technology of monitoring aircraft positions can greatly increase the capacity of airspace management. Simultaneously it’s using manifold increase safety of aircraft transport and in the co-operation with multilateration systems forms the basis of a compatible globally network of monitoring air traffic.
