Mode S offers new opportunities and a number of benefits that were previously impossible to reach, such as improved integrity of interrogations and replies, as well as an augmented capacity for transmitting information about the aircraft. It also eliminates errors that over time began to appear in the identification of aircraft and began to menace the safety of traffic at airports.
