Automatic Dependent Surveillance For Oceanic Air Traffic Control Applications

Peter L. Massoglia

Abstract: This paper discusses the requirement for an Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) system in the oceanic areas, a description of the present system and its limitations for control of oceanic air traffic where radar coverage is limited. It provides an historical perspective of the National Airspace System and the particular background for oceanic air traffic control modernization and improvements leading to the development of an ADS program. A short overview of the Oceanic Display and Planning System (ODAPS, the baseline for ADS), and a synopsis of the ADS function; program; demonstration; implementation; and resulting benefits are included,
