SURVEILLANCE ASPECTS OF THE ADVANCED AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Three topics with impact on the performance of Air-to-Satellite-to-Ground Systems for Air Traffic Control Surveillance are addressed in detail: (1) vulnerability to intentional jamming, (2) performance degradation due to the multiple access noise which results from uncoordinated aircraft transmissions, and (3) tracking techniques for improved surveillance accuracy and reduced short-term outages.
