Equipment

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast

Un sistema in cui un aeromobile trasmette la propria posizione satellitare, l’altitudine e l’identità affinché il controllo del traffico aereo e altri aeromobili possano riceverle, senza bisogno di un’interrogazione radar. È una parte fondamentale della sorveglianza moderna.
