Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADSB)

Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) is a modern air traffic tracking technology where aircraft determine their position via GPS and automatically broadcast this information to ground stations and other aircraft. This system enhances airspace safety and efficiency by providing real-time, accurate location data without relying solely on radar. ADS-B allows pilots and controllers to see precise aircraft positions on digital screens, improving situational awareness, reducing collisions, and optimizing flight paths. It is a key component in modernizing air traffic management globally, supporting safer and more efficient air travel.
