ARCA TEAM TESTED LOW POWER MODE S RECEIVER ON BEXUS18

摘要

In the modern world, the aircraft is a common way of transportation. With thousands of flights every day, of course, the need for tracking planes, monitoring their position and health status arises. At the moment, most airplanes are only tracked in densely populated areas. The main goal of the experiment was the development, verification and production of a low power Mode S ADS-B receiver by the team. Additionally, the team wanted to show, which advantages an aircraft based ADS-B surveillance system could have, using a stratospheric balloon for demonstration and evaluation.
