Proceedings of the OTA Seminar on the Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS)

摘要

This report was prepared as a result of a one-day seminar held on January 31, 1980, to examine some of the impacts on the aviation system of the FAA's proposed implementation of the Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS) and the Automatic Traffic Advisory and Resolution Service (ATARS). The seminar, requested by the House Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Transportation, reviewed the following: the impact of DABS/ATARS on the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon Service; the compatibility of DABS/ATARS equipment with upgraded military equipment; and the extent to which FAA is and should be coordinating the development of DABS/ATARS with the International Civil Aviation Organization.
