Aircraft operators, Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP), air traffic control organizations, and others rely heavily on data and associated systems to safely and efficiently operate and navigate aircraft throughout the airspace. From takeoff to touchdown and beyond, positional data is critical. But what happens when the systems fail? What if the GPS data is somehow … Read more
Aireon has developed an Independent Position Validation solution that leverages both the aircraft’s transmitted ADS-B information and the overlapping space-based coverage provided by the Iridium satellite constellation to determine the validity of a reported ADS-B position. Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) allows for accurate and reliable surveillance of aircraft that uses GPS to determine the aircraft’s … Read more
Aviation industry leaders Aireon and Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) of South Africa have strengthened their commitment to collaboration, forging a cooperative agreement to advance space-based automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) products and services in the African continent. Under the refined approach of this partnership, which was agreed to during a series of operational workshops … Read more
South African air navigation service provider Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) has taken a technological leap forward in June as it began using Aireon’s space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) in aircraft operations in its airspace.
