A robust, high-fidelity dataset is a vital component in supporting safe and efficient traffic flow management through various airspaces around the world. AireonSTREAM is a set of APIs that enable stakeholders to access Aireon’s high-fidelity, low-latency, 100 percent coverage Air Traffic Service (ATS) surveillance-grade data.
A robust, high-fidelity and complete dataset is a vital component in supporting the safe, efficient and effective flow of air traffic through various airspaces and aerodromes. Support tools and enhanced situational awareness requirements necessary to meet these needs are increasing the demand for data, in particular, reliable, real-time position of aircraft beyond the Flight Information Region (FIR) and the time at which these aircraft will enter the FIR or arrive at an airport.
A single source, high-fidelity dataset is a vital component of efficient and safe AirTraffic Management (ATM). Support tools are necessary to meet the needs of an evolving industry, creating a demand for world-wide reliable aircraft position data.
Aireon’s data now goes beyond ATS surveillance and Aireon’s partners and customers can utilize this unparalleled and unprecedented information to support their business and safety processes. Through advanced data fusion methodologies, integration of Aireon’s data with other contextual data, Aireon presents the only ATS surveillance-quality and complete flight position source available.
Aireon is providing the first global air traffic surveillance system using a space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) network that meets the strict, real-time Air Traffic Service (ATS) surveillance requirements for air traffic separation services, anywhere in the world.
Space-based ADS-B is a turn-key surveillance solution, delivering traditional ADS-B messages directly to the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) like traditional ADS-B radio would do. The major difference is that the Aireon delivery point provides a single source for all 1090ES aircraft for the entire FIR and beyond.
Space-based ADS-B eliminates global blind spots, allows for increased safety, provides more precise aircraft locations, improves search and rescue response, reduces gross navigation errors, enhances cross-border safety and allows for faster pilot/controller communication.
This reference guide gives high-level overviews of the history of air traffic surveillance, how aircraft position is currently determined, ADS-B history, the challenges of current global surveillance and how Aireon data is transforming air traffic surveillance.
GlobalBeacon, a first of its kind product from Aireon and FlightAware, detects aircraft position in real time, everywhere in the world. It's an easy-to-deploy solution to help airlines become compliant with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Global Aeronautical Distress Safety System (GADSS) standards
