ADS-B (U.S. FAA)

摘要

First regions in the U.S. to receive ADS-B capabilities will be Louisville, Kentucky; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the Gulf of Mexico region; and Juneau, Alaska. In November 2008, FAA announced that 11 ground stations were deployed in Florida; ultimately, 794 ground stations will be deployed around the U.S. Non-commercial jet fuel taxes increased from 21.9 cents per gallon to 36 cents per gallon to pay for ADS-B upgrades. The Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast (ADS-B) system is a system of systems that consists of GPS receivers, datalinks, and ground stations. It is designed to eventually replace groundbased radar used for air traffic control. The U.S. FAA has begun a comprehensive program to overhaul the air traffic control system in the United States with ADS-B technology.
