It's no secret. If you read the major newspapers or watch the network television news, you know that Air Traffic Control Delays and I Airport Surface Management are two of the biggest problems facing commercial aviation today. That's why UPS is committing its resources to a new technology that will begin to solve these problems right now: Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). ADS-B provides more accurate surveillance of aircraft traffic than Radar. And ADS-B equipment, available today, provides accurate, reliable displays of aviation traffic to controllers and pilots alike. This new technology will allow pilots and controllers to work together in new ways to improve safety and reduce delays. UPS Aviation Technologies is the first major avionics company to develop and certify ADS-B equipment and displays for use in both the airline and general aviation environment.
