A new system was demonstrated as a prototype that provides the advantages of Automatic
Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) for the military, yet totally avoids military aircraft
modifications. The system was demonstrated on operational United States Air Force (USAF) aircraft
using ADS-B equipped general aviation aircraft as the source. The demonstration was conducted in 2003.
The result of the demonstration was highly positive commentary from engineers and the pilots. Although
significant work remains prior to full fielding and operations, a decision was made to incorporate the
prototype into a future datalinks concept. |
