Abstract

The function, working principle, the principles of usage and the advantages of modern Automatic Dependent Surveillance system (ADS). The functions of the mentioned system are manifold and its primary function is to enable the automatic exchange of various data between air traffic control units with the aim of maintaining the safe separation of aircraft. Data such as call sign, aircraft position, time, altitude, vector information, speed, meteo information etc. can be fonvarded periodically or on request, and are received automatically in the aircraft via flight management computer (FMC). Also, the overview of the possible communication systems which enable the usage of ADS is given, with special emphasis on ADS aspart of further global development of navigation and air traffic safety system, which was approved by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (JCAO). Finally, a new, improved version of Automatic Dependent Surveillance, ADS- B (Broadcast) is briefly outlined, a version which enables omni-directional emission of addressed information.
